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

Formal training is almost a must for MMA these days.. join a school.. you want one that dosent concentrate on kata, or even a straight MMA school. From there you will be able to go to point/continuous sparring and work on your skills. From there, and with the backing of a school, you can contact some of the promoters of some smaller MMA events around and see what there is for you.

Also, ask your local BJJ trainer if anyone has contest in that area. You can get thrown around by any of those guys if they do.

Yeah, they used to have them around here once a year, but I haven't seen any in the last 6 years or so.
