It’s a little unnatural, I would change it a little bit to say “Why did you choose Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu when there are so many other martial arts out there?”

It's grammatically correct but it sounds a little bit aggressive to me. A little bit like you don't approve of their decision to do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instead of a different martial art.

I would change it to:
"What made you choose Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu out of all the other martial arts?"

This sounds a little more curious, like you want to know about the person and why they chose Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

@SketchMaster3687 Ohhhh yeah, your answer pointed out the important mistake. Thank you so much. You raised my skill to differenciate between "what made" and "why". Thanks a lot!
