Intro by arm bar.

So I made the leap and I emailed the training center. They got back to me and I set up an intro class. I was very happy to hear they had an intro class prior to making any sort of commitment. I had a good idea that I would be into learning Brazilian Jujitsu but like anything in life if they let you try it before you buy it, do it.
So I walk in and Jason the guy I have been conversing with is the one working the desk. He would also be my instructor for the night. I don't know for sure but I would guess he is much younger than I am. He turned out to be the perfect instructor for me (and salesman), he was enthusiastic and informative. He also didn't  didn't mind all my questions, (Do I have to roll with that guy who is obviously 125 pounds heavier than me? Yeah, but it's good for your technique.), and upfront and honest about any concerns I had (Doesn't rolling with someone so much bigger and stronger suck though? Yeah it sucks.). During the session he showed me a few things, which was a lot of fun to learn (like how to put on an armbar), but honestly I have forgotten them already. What I do remember is how frickin heavy this kid seemed when he was on top of me. When he told me he only weighed 165, I felt a little defeated. "People say I am heavy for my weight," he tried to reassure me but all I was thinking is wow, maybe I should try and fight women instead.
I got over my pity party and realized I actually had a lot of fun and looked forward to the challenge and the commitment it will actually take to get good at this. We had a second intro session and I signed on the dotted line. And away we  go!
