I was wondering how to hook up with a sparring partner for my hubbie in the DFW area. Anyone know a MMA gym where he could go and get sparring practice for a nominal fee?
He doen't want to really join to train MMA just needs big fellows to spar with.
Just wondering if any here were from Texas and/or knew of a good gym that allows this? Or what would be the protocol to asking when going into a MMA gym?

I was wondering too, if it was true that you have to be a member of a MMA club to compete in MMA cage fights? Or can you just try out so to speak for a cage fight?

We were kinda hoping for a MMA gym in Dallas or surrounding areas. I know the hold a few fights out here in Garland (and further east of Dallas).

Ah! just looked up Bushido martial arts. Hubbie's sparred with Justin Rose's students years ago. We'd love to go back, he's a good guy. It's just too far from where we live now in Dallas.

Allen Mohler's school is supposed to be terrific. I've met Coach Mohler and he's a great guy. His school's in Irving. http://mohlerjiu-jitsu.com/academy.html
