Default Where does one go to test their skills???

I am in Wichita KS and have been Very interested in MMA for the last few years. No i'm not formally trained but feel I'm badass enough to step in a ring and test my skills. I said badass enough to "test" my skills. I know I will get probably get schooled but how will I know until I try. I can handle an ass woopin if it happens. I have no idea on how to even go about it. I know of someone that is now an BJJ instructor. Should I call him and have him ragdoll me a bit?? Atleast to get some of this ego thrown out??

Thanks

KingRay

...haha, yes, call him. You'll learn quick that you've got a lot to learn. Hell, if he's an instructor, ask him for a free class, and when you roll with people and get schooled, you'll know.

man u sound similar to me a few years ago...i was really good in street fighting and could take a good beating, but then i joined a kick boxing ternament, just to test my skills..street and ring are much different...i was not destroyed in the fights but the other fighters skills and techniques shocked me...much harder then i was expecting....after those fights, i started to train with technique and i have seen amazing improvements in my fight game....if u like to fight, learn to fight, dont just go wild like i used to...cuz when there are rules, things change//

I know I would get schooled. I will give him a call and see if he remembers me. After a ragdoll session, I may change my mind. I really just need an attitude adjusment. You Break 30 and sometimes you still feel you need to prove something. Atleast that is what I am feeling. Immature or not, that is just how I feel. I catch myself looking for situations and I know that is not the right thing to do at all. I am either going to be hurt, in jail or both.
I dont need either.

I will call him and see what he can do. Thanks guys

since you're in the midwest i am sure you should be able to find a small MMA promotion that will let you fight, sure you'll only get paid maybe $100 but you'll get to fight. the midwest is actually a hotbed for MMA so you should be able to find something. i have heard many times of Marines and Ex-military types looking to test thier skills same as you be put on fight cards with no real credentials.
