What do you mean with "start with only one discipline"? if you join an MMA school you will be studying all of them at the same time, otherwise it’s not Mixed Martial Arts.
You’d just be joining different styles.

Sounds like some kind of watered down multi-martial arts centre trying to market themselves as MMA centres.

In my MMA team we practise all styles three days a week in one class, with free extra grappling and striking classes if you feel a need to improve in a certain field.
BJJ is the only separate martial art, because you can’t mix the Gi with MMA style fighting.

So you can’t choose to start with one. The only way is to focus especially on one side of MMA, like striking, wrestling or ground.

Honestly, I would master one discipline and then branch off later on.

As for which one, this subject is endless. I will say BJJ is very popular in UFC.

most mma gyms will have separate programs for beginners, muay thai, wrestling, and brazilian jiu jitsu, are what most gyms teach, and are the 3 things every fighter must be skilled in.

its really just a preference. Can you learn, and differentiate the two different styles at the same time? For instance, in Judo classes I hold my center of gravity higher, because im trying not to be thrown. In Jiu Jitsu class I hold my center of gravity lower, because I’m trying to take my opponent to the ground.

Theres alot of subtleties in varying martial arts. Even in mine, which come from the same source, and are very simliar. You could start fighting quicker if you learned em both at the same time.

Again its just a preference, do whats best for your learning style.

The school where I took Tae Kwon Do lessons also taught just a little of some of the other practical self-defense martial arts. We did a bit of Judo and Hapkido to round us out.

if you do pick just one to start out with go with bjj but i would just learn it all at once whatever is best for you tho

Today there are so many schools where they teach MMA. You don’t need to study boxing, grappling, kickboxing in different schools

if you go to certain mma schools, they sometimes have beginners classes for a mix, however it is always important to get down a stand up and ground fight backround

You should choose another style like kung fu.

Study one art. That’s it, one art. It’s better to be the master of one, than a jack of all trades. The world has changed into this cram it all in society, we need young people to get back to a traditional scope of honor and integrity, find something you enjoy and do it better than anyone else. Your not an IPHONE, you are a person. You don’t need 1,000,000 apps to make you complete.

Also, what do I need to study?

One art that feels good, challenging, and balanced.
