I'm 5'5 weighing in at 195 now, been working on jujitsu for 5 months now, 1 year of wrestling exp, What weight class should I be trying to get to if this naga event is scheduled for april 24th. Ive lost 30 pounds last 5 months and its getting harder to cut. I'm thinking 185 or even 175 IF possible. What bracket would I be in beginner or novice?

170-179.9 is MW, 180-189.9 is LHW, 190-099.9 is Cruiserweight. With 5 months JJ you can go Novice which I would as you do have sandbaggers despite best efforts to keep it down but with your Wrestling experience Beginner would even be considered sandbagging technically. You doing Gi or No Gi?

I'm doing no Gi, and I wanna challenge myself so Novice sounds good to me.

Really wanna challenge yourself go Intermediate, Novice is the lowest class then beginner, then Intermediate. Good luck you have a few months to get ready and refine a few techniques as well as decide what class, which BTW listen to your coach on. Chicago is in March after Vegas right?
