Would it be odd for a guy to have a female partner in a MMA class
Would you feel inclined to be more gentle, would you not care who the partner was or, would it make you uncomfortable in general?

If it was a very basic low contact class, perhaps. But, I’ve trained for years. I’d be uncomfortable going full speed against any woman in most circumstances.
There’s nothing to be gained.

@WowwGirl I haven’t had that experience. I wrestled in D1, but that was well before women entered the sport. I’ve only limited skill in Jiu Jitsu and haven’t rolled with a woman. My last full contact black belt tournament was in April 2018’.
Since then I’ve done Wing Chun, JKD and some boxing; but, my passion is Kali. I still compete there and actively train. The only women in our MMA gym are there for kickboxing, so there’s not much crossover.
