If you are waiting until the beginning of March because you want to prepare, then don't bother. Just start now. 2 months of actual training is much better than 2 months of preparing to train. If you have other reasons for starting in March, then I agree with a lot of the advice on here. Watch some competition DVDs. Learn the terminology from them. When you do finally start, try not to go crazy. Try to actually use the techniques they show you. Be ready to tap out, and don't be ashamed of "losing". Getting your shit kicked every day will make you better faster.
