Knee on belly HURTS like all hell. What did the rest of you find out that you didn't expect on your first day?

+1 (and for a month after)...also, the proper way to get out of an armbar isn't to straighten your arm and try to pull out...that was a bad idea.

Don't let them push you around, for every bruise they give, give them five broken bones!

When i got caught at school with my hand down my pants, i had to keep it there for a week....WHAT A WEEK!

I learned that people will not get bored of Guillotining you every chance they get. So you better learn to defend it!

I can't even remember that far back to Karate but in Muay Thai I remember thinking I keep getting punched in the face..when I started in BJJ I remember thinking how much I sucked at grappling back then(not that I'm great now or anything). The only thing I had going for me in the muay thai gym I started at was that it was fairly new, so at the time, only the instructor had a lot of experience and I was able to "catch up" and "pass up" a lot of the students that started before me because I used to be a gym rat.

Keep training and enjoy what you do.

Strength can help make up for lack of experience and technique when trying to get a fight to the ground... it does NOT help once you get there.

I'll have to say I need to cut my hair, if not shave it all off, and also that I am just skinny not anywhere close to in shape, the hardest part about even going, any particular day for me is the fact I'm so sore from the previous work out I cant keep up with anyone......
