I don't know what's around me. I've seen Tae Kwan Do schools, Karate schools, Kung Fu and Jiu Jitsu schools around where I live but I've never seen any 'MMA' schools. I would have to search online or in the yellow pages. I would think a store that sells martial arts equipment would know of schools. I've seen a few of them in my area.

By the way, what is Gi, do you mean Gi as in the uniform? While watching a fight on TV I thought I heard an announcer say that it's better to learn/train without the Gi because you don't have the Gi to work with in the ring.

I'm just a beginner so would I learn Jiu Jitsu at an MMA school or should I start learning Jiu Jitsu even before I think about getting involved in MMA?
