If you want something properly rounded, MMA classes will give you punching, kicking, takedowns and groundwork. Ignore the 'cage-fighting / UFC' connotations.
the thing is, all the places doing "MMA" classes are exactly that. They are just going of the hype of the UFC. If asked about at a few of these places, by MMA they rarely actually mean mixed martial arts, what they mean is "you know, like UFC".
Basically some half arsed kick boxing and attempts at "ground & pound". They rarely have the high quality instructors in specific disciplines, like BJJ.
