I'm a newbie so I'm not even sure of the terminology... class, teacher, student etc.

Are there belts in MMA? I assume they divide the classes by age and experience/belt?
If you find a school that has belts in MMA, walk right out of the door.

Look for schools that has actual fighters and others that compete. That way you know that they at least try to better themselves and put it out on the line. I also think that a MMA school should have BJJ and not just submission wrestling, doing Gi make for a better no-gi grappler.
