It's cheaper then an MMa gym. You'll get great strength and conditioning as long as the coach is half way decent. And you'll learn body control, active flexibility, etc. Then look for an MMA gym that will show you how to evolve your skills Wrestling to BJJ, Tae kwon do to Muay Thai. It will also give you time to shop around and make sure the MMA gym is quality and not hype. Just my opinion, but at your age I would say just join the wrestling team.

This includes boxing and jiu-jitsu, they have great instructors that are great with beginners, and at least where I come from, there are a lot of other beginners to pair up with, really a great experience.
