If I can ask, where did you get that training? I would also agree with your recommendation.
The problem with the modern martial arts is that they have been watered down form their original combat roots. In the "do" styles this is for sport mostly. The "jutsu" styles are more closely aligned with their original roots.
Brazilian style is in my opinion about as close as you get to the truest sense of jiu jutsu (not judo).
Same applies for aikido and aikijutsu. Both similar, but the jutsu variation can be really interesting to learn.
No matter what you learn to do, learn how to stretch properly!
