Be physically ready
To get the most out of your first couple of jiu jitsu lessons it is a great idea to prep your body for training. The greater condition you are in heading into your very first class the more comfortable and laid back you will be when sparring with a live opponent. This doesn't necessarily mean you ought to put off enrolling in a jiu jitsu school so you may shape your entire body into a grappling machine at your neighborhood health club. It simply means that the better condition you are in, the more your body and mind will soak up.
Needless to say if you would rather build your muscle and joint strength on the mat, like I did, then anticipate the early months bruised, sore, and worn out. Over time the agony fades and soon enough you will be making the most of your time at the academy learning - not only from your professor but also from your training partners. family martial arts academy (Abre numa nova janela)
You will be defeated and completely outclassed on a daily basis - pride be damned!
Anyone who has ever trained or will train Brazilian jiu has been told, "leave your ego at the door". Well I am telling you one more time, "leave your ego at the door". There is no greater hurdle to your learning and developing as a fighter than your ego. It is your ego that will get you hurt. Keep it outside your academy and you will find yourself relaxing, learning, and having fun in jiu jitsu class a great deal more.
Develop a strong fundamental foundation
There is very little question that you are going to end up being confused by the number of techniques tossed at you. Do not be concerned, you don't have to master all of them immediately. I know loads of grapplers who can demonstrate a multitude of various techniques but it is very unlikely any of them can implement one of those techniques effectively versus a resisting challenger.
