I do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a gym where they do MMA.
You have to be at least a blue belt to participate in the MMA segment but I think that is only for people with no previous training so if you did MMA before you might be able to do it there.
The name of the instructor is Travis Lutter and you can find directions in his website [link]http://www.travislutter.com[/link]
As far as jiu-jitsu goes, that is the best place to train here in Ft Worth. Travis used to be in the UFC but recently got released because of 2 consecutive losses. He was also in the tv show "ultimate fighter 3" which he won. I know I might sound like I work for him or something but I just really think he is the best around this area. I've been going to that gym on and off for 3 yrs. If you drop in he'll let you do a free class.
If you were in Dallas I would say the best place to do jiu-jitsu is with Carlos Machado. He is Gracie's cousin and his family is one of the jiu-jitsu powerhouses. That's where Travis got his black belt from. I don't know if Carlos trains MMA though.
