I have been doing both Judo and BJJ for quite some time by now, and for most situations I've been in I find myself relying on Judo far more often than BJJ. Hell, even during BJJ I use quite a bit of Judo on the ground.

im 6'5 what ma should i train for real world advantages?

I would like to train bjj in the future but this is only groundwork or am i wrong?

bjj is 90% groundwork
for real world advantages you should buy yourself a gun

yes i know but im pretty sure there are ma who i could train to. Like knife fighting techniques or something. Is Knife fighting also part of krav maga?

what could you possibly do with knife fighting training
stabbing an unarmed person isn't hard and if you get into a real knife fight you're an actual moron

BJJ ranges from 50-70% groundwork depending on your gym. Even the most but scooting, Gracie oriented schools will teach takedowns, throws, and trips
>90% groundwork
Stop acting like you have any direct experience with BJJ and haven't just read about it here
Eskrima is the best choice for knife fighting. Krav Maga at it's best is just a mix of BJJ and Muay thai, and at its worst is LARPing garbage

so Eskrima = fighting & defending with sticks = long knifes? Do you have personal experience with Eskrima?

imagine being so insecure about your sport you take a small hyperbole as a personal affront
nobody said they don't teach you takedowns

steroids do not help recovery in any aspect. This is a myth that was populated by athletes caught using drugs, because the american public is retarded and is more concerned with whether you "paid your dues" aka hard work ala the protestant work ethic. So when athletes make the lukewarm excuse that steroids simply allow them to "work harder" and "train more" it sits better with mere mortals "oh theyre just suffering EVEN MORE! wow!",

In actuality, anabolic steroids are useful in sports for precisely one reason: they make athletes stronger and strength is a huge advantage in almost any sport you care to name. If i can add 5kg of muscle onto an athlete while making him drop 5kg of fat, he will have remained in the SAME WEIGHT CLASS while dramatically increasing his power. Doing this with an adult, already developed athlete without roids is unlikely to happen. Doing this with roids and a strength training program is easy and a common outcome. Yes, some athletes may take roids for any number of reasons they have been told. A lot of athletes are stupid, and the people informing them are also stupid, demonstrably so. But the actual reason for using steroids in athletics, and the reason their use delivers such stunning results is strength, pure and simple. Yes, thats the same thing going on in the 100m dash as it is in baseball as it is in MMA.

Steroids do NOT help recovery and in many ways can actively antagonize recovery. Again, this was a lie invented by athletes during the athletic scandals of the 90s. It has of course, been coopted by recreational steroid users, who would like it if everyone believed their physiques are the result of pure hard work, and not what came out of a vial.
