Again, cheers for the advice and comments. Am off training tonight, will try and put the advice into practice!

All great advice above.....get/wear knee pads from day one as it can quite tough on your knees when you first start also it will save you problems further on in your training.
Stick with it no matter how tough you feel it gets, it's worth it.

BJJ and red raw/sore knees does sound a bit dubious to the uneducated
