My brother took Go Ju Kai for a good 15 of his 19 years of life, but it had too many of the above turn offs for me to try ><
Eh you won't find any without repetitive exercises. The only way to get good at anything in martial arts is repetitive work on it. But I agree with the Kata thing. I despise kata every since Tae Kwon Do. I like my style we only have 1 kata (granted it's like 60+ steps maybe even towards the 100+ to fully master) that we learn a few steps of every belt level. It's pretty practical though too, it's not a block punch stance kata, it's basically all of American Jiujutsu summed up in a long kata, which you'll find yourselves in those positions. It helped me out when I started grappling sparring as I actually could use the kata as reference when I found myself in certain positions, so I just automatically went to do a technique.

If your around the Columbus, Ohio region I'ld say come to the dojo I train at, it's a great place to train. If not (more then likely not I'd guess) I'ld suggest maybe Muay Thai Boxing. I dunno too much off hand, but from the style it's a combat art and one that I doubt has many if any kata involved. It'd still be repetitive work I'ld imagine, but it's a very kick/boxing style from what my limited knowledge of it is.
