As a first timer stepping into any sort of 'martial arts' environment, I was pretty nervous about what I could expect.

Learning Jiu Jitsu takes a ton of patience, time, and an open mind - if you're willing to come into this team environment with all of that, then you'll do just fine.
The class size is very small (mostly 6 people, max) which alleviated my anxieties of being forgotten in the corner or not being able to ask for help, if I needed it; I never once felt like I was disrespected or alone.
