Is it? Well, out of my experience most practicioners aren't really nerdy or super-intellectual :) There could be local specifics though (I live and train in Poland)

Well I'm not saying it's like a University faculty lounge. :) But I've met my fair share of professionals, software engineers, math majors, etc at various BJJ academies. It's a big contrast with, say, a boxing gym.
In fairness, though, it could just be selection bias since at least in the US BJJ training tends to be fairly expensive, while community boxing gyms are cheap or free.
