BJJ is strongly indicated in the right. I got curious and have recently joined a good local club. I get it. It's hard and incredibly cerebral. I've run the gamut of martial club's and BJJ is probably the most authentic and accessible for middle class types. It will also make you hard as hell if your coaches are solid. I would suggest trying different combat sports, if only for the confidence developed by walking into a new place and settling in. Especially boxing gyms.
Which race of "northern europeans" do you hail from?
Cro-Magnons can only be traced back 160,000 years and that is a very tenuous association with Northern Europe. Their ancestors came from the south and the trail goes dead before Snowball Earth. No cro-magnon survived an Ice Age ... their weapons looked like they were made by children and their hunting parties were basically unorganized chimpouts just hurling spears awkwardly by the hundreds until something got hit.
The Neanderthals had synchronized hail'and'chorus with perfect simultaneous release of weapons often strange spinning stone disks with ergonomic grips like primordial Batman.
There's only one race traceable back before the Grand Minimum and Snowball Earth and that is Neanderthals. Fossil footprints by a family in a beach on Europe dated before the Grand Minimum, which means Neanderthals (not cro-mags) are the "real" race of Europe. Cro-Magnons could not properly hone spear points other than toasting them over fires and knew nothing of making proper flint edges on anything until they apparently got a class from Neanderthals about 50,000 years back.
The two people were basically polar opposites in every way. Contrary to popular belief (mostly from public television) the southern Neanderthals were regularly 6'2 and taller. Most of them could juggle two Cadillacs while balancing a Hyundai on their noses like seals. The wear marks on tools handled by Neanderthal children require industrial hydraulic machinery to duplicate their grip strength.

Thank you for this perspective
A good read. Well done.
