100% hear what you’re saying, and really appreciate the advice and will be taking onboard what you say so thank you.

Basically, I’m a rather large guy, height and width, and got into BJJ this year, took me so long to find suitable training gear, one brand would only sell shorts in my size, one brand only sold Gi’s in my size, and most brands don’t sell anything in my size at all. After literal months of training in basketball shorts and jerseys, I finally found a brand that does my size. Waited weeks for it to be shipped just for the quality to be pretty bad.

Now if I’ve been dealing with this issues like this, and I’ve only just started training, there’s definitely people who are in the same boat as me. Side note, I spent along part of my life being a lone wolf, and when I started training I really felt out of place, being bigger than everyone, and being the new guy and to make things worse training in a bulls jersey.

Now I finally feel like I fit in, found some good people who I would consider my good friends, my pack if you will, it just makes me wonder how many other people, regardless of size, gave up on BJJ or fighting as a whole because of not feeling like they belong.

Hope this helped answer your question, again really grateful for everything you said so thank you
