Should I sign up for wrestling/boxing ?

I have never done a sport in my life and that's mostly because I'm clumsy and a very slow learner. On top of that I have a low pain tolerance but I really want to learn how to box and wrestle but my biggest fear is making a fool of myself. Do you think I should sign up or just avoid it all together ?

Stay home and get fat!

This is a reasonable fear; pretty much everyone who first attempts a new activity should be able to meet and exceed veteran practitioners with years of experience in the sport.

If this does not happen clearly something must be wrong.

Do it do it do it now
 
Well this is my first week of boxing and it's been ok. I'm struggling but I think I'll get better. Thanks for the support.

Don't make the mistake that everyone else makes by just leaving it all at the gym. Learn and practice outside the gym
 
Nah... don't waste time with grappling.
It's going to make you look silly and you'll end up with a bunch of straight guys snickering at you as you tote your cauliflower ear having ass into the dojo to roll around.
It just isn't worth it.
What do those guys do if they get taken down and ground and pounded or subbed?

Never happens. Besides, straights usually give those kinds of guys a wide berth.
If they don't want to get dropped on their head and choked then they should move out the way and give a wide berth so it never happens.

Guys that create a lot of rules about how you're supposed to act to be straight are in the closet. If you can't grapple with a guy without having gay thoughts, you're gay.
