MMA gym. It took me almost 8 months before I was sparring/kickboxing. Assuming there's a similar period of time we're supposed to just focus on technique/drilling before they get us rolling. Quite frankly, I think it would be useless, or at least may even lead to developing a bad technique if I was cut loose and rolling now. I still find myself using my strength occasionally, or giving up the back way too much. Also, our gym seems to attract a lot of people that are unsafe/unstable to spar with, and sometimes that's not easy to pick that up until it's too late. They let a "just making sure" period of time pass before students get invited into the more advanced courses to help protect the lower belts like myself.

Been drilling (mostly guillotines) 3 or 4 times a week now, 1 hour sessions for the last 3 months. I haven't actually rolled yet, and from what I gather running drills with higher belts I would get folded like laundry pretty quickly. I can do all the warmup drills now without looking like I've got a neurological condition, so at least I've got that going for me which is nice.
