This weekend im going to a 2 day 5 hour each day BJJ seminar. its the first time ill be doing any BJJ any idea what i should expect? im very exited hopfully this is the start of somthin big!
 
Be prepared to get thrown around like a rag doll.
 
Expect to get tired fast and be in contact with a large dose of another man's sweat.

It'll be a blast you'll love it.
 
I hope it works out for you, but I couldn't imagine going to a seminar for your first day of training. Depending on what's being taught, it might be over your head.
 
Take notes! You will probably be "drilling" a ton of techniques, meaning applying them on a partner who is giving no resistance. Possibly some sparring at the end of the seminar, in which you will get owned. Don't worry about it.
 
im pumped i dont remember the last time i was this exited haha i feel like a little kid on christmas lol

I was thinking the same thing. Seminars are usually geared towards practitioners with at least some experience, and often focus on a specific chain of techniques, or setups, and so forth, that may be hard to understand if it's your first class. Who is giving the seminar?
 
not sure who he is but im a fast learner so hopefully i can keep up

i have no problem with taking a beating im not some punk, if i get my ass beat well then it should be a good learning experience
 
Do not let the seminar have a negative impact on your view of BJJ, and your potential for success with future training.

You will probably get owned repeatedly by the massive numbers of white-belts in attendance if it's a big name.

You will probably be unable to commit anything to memory, and you will be a hindrance to any person you are paired with.

Regardless, you should have fun and use it to springboard you into training at a legit bjj gym.

I am not sure you understand how bad the average new guy gets owned. It will probably be like getting tossed into a pool without knowing how to swim. Don't let your ego get you hurt, or ruin your day.

It sounds like you've got the right additude, just keep it going. I think you'll find that when you do get to a BJJ gym, that you'll get a tonne of support for your endeavours. People who do this sport are all madly in love with it(otherwise they quit after about the 3rd rape of the evening and never come back...citing a 'sore back" as their reason for not continuing), and will show you anything you ask them to if you ask them nicely.

People tend to get too wrapped up in a destination, myself included, whenever they take on an endeavour. Only realise that there is no destination in any pursuit, but it is the journey that must be cherished. The pursuit of the everevolving, and therefore everlasting style: an expression of ones passion and creativity.

She's absolutely right. She's the one who's deep.
 
Good attitude. I hope you like BJJ or the 10 hours are going to drag on.

Good luck man. Oh and get soem knee pads or you will bleed all over the mats.

LMAO, for some reason this made me think of the Houston 500 gangbang vid, lol.

Seriously though, remember to breathe and pace yourself, also don't let your ego get the better of you (even if you're cool and humble as hell, after you get tapped 15 times in a row, everyone tends to get a bit irritated).
 
I think you are making a big mistake! BJJ requires a level of conditioning and muscle memory that your body is not accustomed to at this point having no experience. You will probably be gassed and done after an hour or two. I would look to get into some beginner's classes before doing such long sessions. Be prepared to drinks LOTS of water and eat some bananas to alleviate muscle cramping.
