I threw out jiujitsu and or wrestling. He seemed like he was open to trying. As again, he’s not good at sports nor athletic

My Freshman year of High School I was right at 100 lbs. I'd never really participated in sports because I didn't THINK I was big enough. One day early in school year at PE, the coaches of all the sports teams came and talked to us about each sport. I was intrigued with wrestling because of the weight classes and signed up for the team. In hind sight it was one of the best decisions of my young life (esp after ending up at an all male military school...)

While I wasn't "athletic" in the sense of big arms and big chest, I learned I was fast. Like 6 min mile fast. Several of the guys on the team were DB's on the football team. I learned I could keep up with them in sprints. I also learned how to use my strengths against someone else's weaknesses. And as I tell my son all the time when we're goofing around, I learned "Leverage" and leverage goes a long way...

I haven't followed this thread too closely, but I would highly encourage him to explore both of those options.
