    Firstly, welcome

    It's all up to you dude. Ideally, I would suggest takin a 10th planet class if there is a moon nearby. If not, maybe get a training partner n try some stuff from the books or that you see on mastering the system. Obviously don't go for the advanced move but have a look through n see what seems achievable. Start small n just drill it over and over until you are comfortable with it. I did somethin similar but now have a moon 15 mins from my house which is excellent.

    Work on gaining position and control, don't rush to learn submissions. Train with guys who are better then you and get used to tapping, and I recomend the books Mastering the rubber guard by Eddie Bravo and Jiu-jitsu University by Saulo Ribeiro for starting out. Who do you train BJJ under?

    I've never been to a 10th planet school, but my friend has trained with Eddie at a seminar and he is a brown belt in judo so I have been just drilling techniques with him for a few months and I don't even have a traditional BJJ school around me to attend. It's super fun! I would say your best bet is starting off with the lockdown and half guard, that's where we started.

    (first post too btw!) Good luck!
