Of course he is into bjj and grappling when he has the physique of a 12 year old girl xaxa.
Every girl who trains judo seriously for 7-8 years and is 12-13 years old is curpulent for him, look at his torso, shoulders and arms like a child trying to develop.
I guess it's that dangerous sport of bjj that develops you so physically

It’s weird seeing him without his suit, it is like seeing your father naked
