Tell your instructor that you have had a few years experience as a "fluffer" They'll know how to use you.

Tell your new instructor that you have a few years as a "fluffer" They'll know what to do with you.

I started BJJ after training in Sport JJ, which doesn't suck too bad. I was brutally grapplefucked.

Loud and authorative "Hai!" at the end of their every sentence. This means you acknowledge them. It's not a rule, but it will impress them.

If someone holds their hand out to you at the start of rolling, they're trying to see what you can do, sort of a mini test. Use it to pull them over. Kote Gaeshi sorta thing.

If you don't blink your eyes you might become blind :O xD

I'm burning in impatience jejej

No hakama? Hmm that's logic, its a martial art from brazil, should I wear something typical of that country? :P

Great!
in addition: exaggerate your ukemi, ie: before their 'throw' has even moved you, throw yourself to the ground in dramatic fashion, and exclaim that you were overcome by their ki power.
