[QUOTE="black4vcobra, post: 16462222, member: 82394"] OP, you are going to enjoy it. Couple tips - 1. You will get your butt kicked at first, including by people who look very physically weak. You won't even know they are setting up a submission and all of a sudden a joint will be hyperextended or the blood supply to your brain will be cut off. Don't be ashamed to tap out, it could just prevent an injury. 2. Start stretching everyday at least 20+ minutes. Also, start doing more cardio workouts. 3. Lookup and remember the basic positions - closed guard, half guard, butterfly guard, mount, back mount, side control, etc 4. Train GI and no-GI if possible. I always preferred no-GI myself. 5. Practice your wrestling shot. Basically as you lunge forward, front knee hits the ground briefly as rear leg drags along the mat bringing your rear foot forward to plant and drive through the opponent. Hard to explain but watch a video and you'll see. 6. Don't be a dick in practice - hands in face, elbows to neck, smothering teammates, etc. Everyone is there to improve, not compete. 7. Speaking of competing, don't be afraid to get into a tournament or gym scrimmage once you get your feet wet. Great way to test your skills against other competitiors 8. Wash your GI (and yourself) - It will stink if it isn't washing often and ringworm/staph can be a problem. Get defense soap to kill the bacteria. [URL="https://www.defensesoap.com"]Defense Soap® | Soaps for Men, Women, Athletes, Babies, and Children | DefenseSoap.com[/URL] 9. Have fun! Let me know if you have any other specific questions. I've trained about 1.5 years total but had wrestling experience so I was already comfortable on the mat when i walked into the gym. When we were expecting I decided I needed to focus on my wife and son and save $ of course. Little guy is now 16 months old and want to get him into it as soon as kids BJJ starts and then get back into it myself. Trying to stay limber and in shape until then but the workouts are not as intense as wrestling and BJJ classes at the gym. Also 36 now so in a few years i'll probably feel a lot stiffer. [/QUOTE]
