I am seriously considering taking some MA classes, and a big reason is because they scare me shitless, and I want to learn discipline in the face of adversity. I feel the need to be pushed far outside my comfort zone and I can't think of a better or more direct way to do it. Thinking about BJJ classes in my area because I don't want to get punched in the face intentionally. Good enough reasoning? I am a skinny fat goony goon and I feel embarrassed even thinking about it.

As long as your comfortable being terrible at it for like at least a year then you will be fine with just a little diligence and work ethic

Yea definitely, I doubt I'll ever be seriously competitive, but as long as I can learn and grow I'm all for it.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, I'm gonna take some free classes at a few local gyms! :ohdear:

I can live with a few bumps and bruises and I have zero ego. But for me this is like going back to school with all the other bigger stronger guys who chose me to show off on. Going into a public place and surrounding myself with perfect strangers is hard enough, and I'm about to juxtapose that with a kind of physicality I've always avoided. Wish me luck!
