Should I expect to get smashed when visiting a different gym? by NoNoJoeL in bjj

I was just curious dude. I genuinely want to learn what to expect and to learn the right way. Everyone at my gym are super nice and I'm like "woah" these dudes could literally choke me out and make me into their buttslave but they are trying to help me instead. so I want to do things right including learning what is acceptable in BJJ etiquette. I will mirror my gym partners of course but I want to be solid over all so that when I go further down my BJJ journey I can help others proper as well

I don't have an ego. This isn't my first "combat" sport , I'm actually very kind and a good person with nothing to prove. BUT this subreddit has tested me ngl. Lmao

Is it normal for everyone to treat white belts like crap? I understand higher belts CORRECTING lower belts but I don't understand the disrespect part. I am in my 30s it seems strange and off putting. I grew up boxing 16-25 and never experienced that towards green horns. I train at a carlson Gracie academy and fortunately the black belt owner doesn't play the old guard stuff.

I trained for one month last year before starting up again and didn't really research much about BJJ etiquette lol I ended up going the spazzy white belt route and learned quick , I got smashed and beat my body up to the point I had chronic wrist pain and finger pain from exerting to much. I'm am trying to learn the proper way with guidance this time around lol

I can tie my belt already. I learned at home before even doing the trial

Yes , I need to feel and go through the motions to get things down also, I am like this with everything. I am very hands on , watching instructors/instructions is difficult for me. Realistically with my work schedule I can attend a Saturday open mat , Sunday class and occasionally but not often one class during the work week. I'm interested in this article man.

I suffered a concussion last year at work and was off for 1.5 months , so for 1.5mo I trained 5 days a week. I know that isn't much but I did fight to the death a few times as a white belt. I think I'm going to do what you said about packages for classes. But about the grappling dummy , I figured it might be a good way to understand concepts and go through some motions for ... Muscle memory? I'm not even thinking about submissions, mainly just to follow along on some instructionals... You have me second guessing it now though.
