Learn English – “Hit the ground running” – other short ways to say it

idiom-requestssynonyms

I have found the perfect expression but I can't use it!

Is there any other way to say the same thing as:

hit the ground running?

I need to describe a tool that helps you learn stuff super fast, think Matrix and kung fu, when neo loads kung fu skill to his brain instantly

Here are a few idiomatic phrases that imply a quick start to a continued action in slightly different ways.

Jump-start ( this is about starting a car and perhaps more about "re-starting" so perhaps not perfect)

Leap into ( perhaps implies getting into an action already in a dynamic state)

Dive in ( perhaps more about 'immersion' and sink or swim than forward momentum, although "diving start" might be hit another)

"bootstrap" is a different concept of 'self starting' 'picking oneself up by one's own bootstaps" was the old idiom which turned into a computing term which was a sort of start up protocol where the initial steps loaded additional functions which in turn could be used to get a full suite of functions for an operating system going.
