It depends how high of level you want to compete at

My old instructor said it like this training is training you shouldn't be getting injured during training. If you're getting an injury during training what was the point of going to training?

Basically you will be taking some hits but with protective gear it cuts down on risk. Make sure the Gym you go to has all the gear and is not some backyard brawl place. You'll be fine and it's great for confidence.

Its a fantastic idea. MMA is awesome, im trying to start too. I used to do Tae Kwon Do when I was a kid and I was in great shape and it helps you with your reflexes, and not to mention you know how to control your adrenaline and what is happening around you when there are unsafe situations.

Take up Jiu-Jitsu and wear ear protection. You shouldn't suffer any facial injuries and you build a ton of muscle. It also takes a lot of quick thinking and strategy. It's a bit like human chess.
