I think you provided a great breakdown of grappling - the decision tree analogy was great. I think the opportunity to practice something with the analytical element discussed here is great. Really, all martial arts are highly analytical, but different martial arts afford different opportunities to use these skills. I think all martial arts (or martial art sports) involving competition have similar levels of analysis, but lots of martial arts instructors require you to reach some sort of physical foundation before teaching you any true technical aspects. So, as said, it all depends on what you want.
