I’ve been training a few times a week for 5 months now, I think I finally want to try sparring.
I’ve done some BJJ for a few years in the past, and I know firsthand that sometimes a panicked newbie is the most dangerous opponent since they have no idea what they’re doing.
With that said, does it make sense to schedule a private lesson with my coach pre-sparring to get a very basic idea of the dos and donts? Or is that a waste of everyone’s time and I should just dive in?
I will say my gym has a “light”/technical sparring class so I’m not expecting to get hurt or anything, I’d just rather have some productive experiences to go into it.
