BJJ is first and foremost a self-defense martial strategy. There is no martial art in the world that deals with realistic fight situations. Judo use to super bad ass back in the old days because it had a lot more newaza. Today, Judo is a water downed version because of all the rules imposed by the Olympic committee. BJJ encompasses Judo throws and wrestling take downs with a heavy emphasis on ground technique. "Pulling guard" is mostly used in sports jiu jitsu and is never taught as a self-defense strategy.
BJJ has already been proving to be the most effect fight system in the world when Royce Gracie fought in the UFC. The UFC back then had no rules and a fighter would fight up to three to five fights a night. Royce dominated the UFC for about three years.
BJJ will get you in shape and also exercise the brain. The warm ups and live sparring quickly add muscles and crazy cardio. All the moves that you learn, body positioning, submissions become your tools as you roll. The mind body connection is constantly evolving because you get to roll with different level belts, body types and ages.
BJJ is not for every one though. BJJ is a contact sport with extreme human contact. Some people don't like being touched or hugged. If you are not comfortable with close contact then BJJ is not for you.
Give BJJ a try for about a week to see if you like it.
