Im nervous of joining into an MMA gym?

You don't have to fight anyone. They probably wouldn't even let you even if you wanted to. MMA gyms aren't like how they are in the media. Most are very family oriented, and are open to beginners. You're going to get there, and you're gonna encounter guys that are beginners like you, and guys that have some experience, and guys that are professional MMA fighters. It won't be you vs. the rest of the class. They're goal is to make it as least intimidating as possible because that's how they keep business going. They couldn't keep it going if only a few brutes joined.

Typical day starts off with warm ups, then your coach will show a technique, and you'll work on that technique with a partner. Then at the end of class you'll do some live sparring with your partner. For you since you're new, they probably won't let you. And even if they do, it's not a requirement.

The best thing to do in your situation is to relax, the information you have heard about an MMA gym isn't necessarily true, it really depends on the gym you attend.

Additionally when first starting an MMA class you will be given an insight to what you will be training, this will consist of a warm up and then getting to grips with the basic techniques.

Just relax man.
