get ready to be sore as hell......and get ready to be tapping alot.

Best advice I think would be, it's ok to tap! Don't try to be to tough. It's ok to tap; anyway that way you can come back and train. I've seen to many "macho" guys not tapping because of ego. Then they get hurt and have to stop training for 3 - 6 months because they broke something. Stay away from the jerk (if there is any). This is the guy that has technique and has won some tournament and will show off but might end up hurting you. Go get'em kid!

thanx for the advice you guys!

Stick with it. Starting is the toughest part and the longer you do it the more fun it becomes.

I wish I had started BJJ when I was 15. I wish I had started BJJ when I was 20 too.

Stick with it and you'll have a second black belt by the time you finish college. Or maybe grad school.

Or maybe never but you'll still be a fuckin badass.

work on cardio, work on flexibility, when you have those at peak, you're far ahead of most dudes.....

oh and do as many sit ups as you can. Strong stomach muscles are very important.

If you're in great shape, have excellent cardio and flexibility, you'll do well.

Pump Iron, do you push ups on your knuckles, stretch every day.

Congrats, you are about to become a complete fighter.
