Everyone is capable of doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. If you walk into any gym, you’ll see people of many capabilities and walks of life. One of the keys to longevity and success in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is adapting how your body works to what you want to accomplish. One way to figure out a game that suits you is to look at other grapplers with your body style. For me Marcelo Garcia, Josh Hinger, Andre “Maneco”, and Rodolfo Vieira have parts of their game that I watch closely for my own personal style. If you are interested in finding people who have similar body composition, ask your instructor for recommendations. I would say the same goes for other martial arts as well.
