    1. nothing is expected of you. your only job is to survive as a white belt. its hard but worth it. they have no expectations of you. just try to be a coachable student. everyone is different, so dont think of promotions the same way you might at a mcdojo. since their are fewer belts than in traditional arts its a longer time period. I dont know if your school has stripes but if not dont get caught up too much on belt shit. if you wanna work out outside of bjj traditional lifts are always good bench,squat,dead. id work alot of your flexibility
     
    2. most schools are 150-200 a month. if you only get to go twice a week its a rip off but if its unlimited or 3-4x a week its about average also depends on where the school is. nicer the area, expect more pricey the school.
     
    3.i dont know if your school has a school specific uniform. some schools require you use their brands(gracies) but others let you go buy it yourself. more than likely they will let you have a cheap starter gi .but i highly recommend origin gis, really high quality stuff and made in america. my head instructor is a co-owner but even so its super legit. mouth guard, tape for small joints, athletic underwear. alot of schools recommend you dont wear a cup because you cant wear one to compete for the most part since it can be used as a tool to help in subs.
     
    4.dont ask higher belts to roll big nono in very traditional schools. bow on and off the mat. breath during rolls...trust me its easy to forget. ask the higher belts where they would like to start in a roll. if your school frowns on cross training/taking classes with friends at other schools it might not be a good school. alot of dos and dont are limited to super traditional brazilian bullshit.  work on technique dont rely on strength.

    I just finished She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
     
    Pros:
     
    The casting of Tatiana as Jen. she is likable and quirky but good when serious as well. Most of the others are decent.
     
    Humor and fourth wall breaking.
     
    Matt/Wong/Hulk parts were among the best even if they were somewhat limited.
     
     
    Misc:
     
    The special effects are just ok.
     
    It felt so random to see "Larry" from Perfect Strangers as Jen's dad.
     
     
    Cons:
     
    Lack of extended action scenes. For a character who is so strong, I would have liked to see more action scenes and ones where the outcome is not so easily anticipated. 
     
    Limited tension or stakes.   With this show, it seems that every time a conflict arises, it gets resolved easily with minimal time or effort.
    She gets fired from her job. Next episode, she gets a new one.
    She is sued by Titania. By next ep, it is resolved in Jen's favor.
    Blonsky is disappearing from the cell. She finds it is due to Wong. He readily helps her by testifying without any pulling. 
    Ep 8 seems like it will change this, but they literally pull a deus ex machina and resolve everything near perfectly without any significant fallout.
    She never gets any resolution with Josh despite it being shown to the viewers that he was working  to steal her blood and bug her phone.
     
    The 25-30 min runtime needs to be expanded or more episodes should have been made. The last episode clearly shows they didnt have enough time to resolve everything so they had to resort to the "Kevin" bit. Hulk and son thing does not deserve to be just shoe horned in 5 seconds in the last episode.
     
     
    Overall: 7/10 
     
    Tatiana's charm and some of the side characters make it light breezy fun, but sometimes it can be too "fluffy".
    Get better villains/action and have more drama in there.
