Hey
Am also into mma and did it for 6 months last year before going back to muay Thai full time for logistical reasons. It's one of the toughest sports no doubt,but ite great for self confidence,fitness and physique. Is recommend it to anyone.

With respect to sparring,some clubs do it regularly and others will separate it out into a later session for the experienced guys. Be wary of a club that rarely does it because its the best way to learn,in my opinion,particularly for mma.
