>Another anon saying to pick 4 throws is helpful in giving myself something concrete.
It's good advice. I would suggest picking a throw from four of the eight different kuzushi directions so that you can attempt something whether your opponent moves forward, backward, left, or right (or to the diagonals in between). If four ends up feeling overwhelming two (or even one) is still a good start, but four gives you an excellent base.
>I tend to get cramps, especially in my legs and arm when I land. Is it only a diet issue or is there more to it?
Muscle cramps are usually a diet and/or hydration issue. The old school advice would be to drink more water throughout the day, eat a banana, and perhaps have some diluted gatorade on hand for water breaks at the gym. The electrolyte beverage market seems more developed than it used to be so it might be worth looking into that if water + banana isn't doing it for you. If you're sedentary outside of class it's probably worth doing some physical training (besides your daily ukemi and uchikomi--which you are doing, right Anon?) to habituate your body to actually being used and to get a feel for what your body needs to function in a physically demanding setting.
>I'll keep showing up.
Consistency will pay off over time. Have fun with it and stay healthy and it can be a lifetime pursuit.
