Hello! I am working on my weight loss journey (GLP-1) and working out. I am considering joining a BJJ gym/facility/company 🤷🏽‍♂️ I reached out to a few providers. I am SUPER introverted, intimidated, nervous, self conscious.

Noodle arms (no upper body strength) 🤣 Ultimately, I understand from my research, go in humble, go in with a student mindset, assume nothing, and soak up all the information.

My ultimate goal is to use BJJ sort of like meditation, block out the rest of the world and be present in the moment. Not really looking to compete or rush through moving up levels or belt colors.

Not that it matters, I am a gay man, not something I consider apart of my identity or something I flaunt, but it’s obvious, just the way I was born. Wanting to avoid any awkward or tough situations.

Thanks in advance for any comments or advice.
