It'll be one of the best decisions you ever made. Only downside is its basically a cac sport the way bball is a black sport so you'll have to deal with getting tapped by face early on and may make you upset.
But it's one of the better types of cardio. You're literally wrestling with someone for 10 mins straight sometimes. I think you're a brehette, if im wrong my bad, so you should be more flexible than your average male and flexibility helps in Jiu Jitsu. If you're not flexible, start stretching in the morning just to wake up and soon you'll get used to it and want to do more stretching and by the time you do join you'll be a little ahead of the game. Be sure to stretch your hammies and hip flexors.
You should probably start doing some jogging in the morning or evening if you don't already do it because that way when they put you through your first workout you won't be damn near dead from fatigue. The more preparation you have before you step in the gym the better.
Obviously you'll be rolling(Jiu Jitsu word for sparring) on mats that are sweaty and since you've probably never wrestled on a mat before your skin is going to break a couple of times and shed blood. This ain't no big deal, just wipe it off and keep pushing. The more you roll your skin will toughen up and it won't happen.
More importantly you'll learn to defend yourself and that's the best thing. If you got any more questions just holla at me

Dont think about it friend. Just do it. Tap early, have fun and be the Best, YOU can be, because theres always someone better and the guy that is better, also gets tapped out.

Only if you train 4-5 days a week. You will lose all your fat though so if you train hard and want to maintain a certain weight you will have to eat more.

Why? Guns cant keep you fit. BJJ allows you to work not only your muscular system but your cardiovascular system as well friend. Its a great all around work out but a workout that actually in reality friend, gives you a skill on top of physical fitness. I think its time for you to start training
You wont always have a gun by your side, and if you do, maybe its time to reevaluate why life has you so nervous.
