Learning MK9, have lots of questions!

Well, I've always understood the game and what to do, but, now to vaguely put it in practice, I'm trying to understand how this game works. Sadly, netplay is my only option, and I have a few questions. As I want to try to learn and play it more seriously, not just be knowledgeable about it. Knowing and doing are different, I've been on a 5 month break since I last played MK9, this was my first week back, here are some questions.

I'm using Jax.

How do I consistently pressure? It seems like everything I do usually, I end up being hit, interrupted, upper cutted in my strings.

Stopping pressure is kind of tough too.

I can't ever land a Ground Pound without being hit, as stated in the Stickies, extremely hard.

Down 1s stop pressure, but I end up being stuck in the same pressure situation again.

Anyone with insight willing to help?

Jax has buckets of armor. If you can't poke out just ex overhead or ex dash punch.

Also do ground pound cancels to try and catch them off guard.
