i'm entering my first tourney in 2 weeks in novice no gi div (i've had about 7 weeks of training to this point) and have heard there's a lot of sandbagging, etc in novice
so question is for those who have actually competed at that level, how much experience do people in novice have ... are there gonna be judo/wrestlers that have been training for years but just started bjj in there, do a lot of people just lie about how long they've been doing it, how many people are there with 3 months or less of training in there usually, etc ... i plan on competing regardless just trying to get an idea of what i'll be up against
does someone with this little training have a reasonble shot at winning (i'm stronger then most people my size and have good speed and agility from football if that makes a difference)
