While I’m biased and love martial arts like jiu-jitsu to build self-defense skills and reap the benefit of one-on-one confrontations for learning and performance enhancement, there are many ways to fight. We are our own toughest opponents regardless of discipline. People are also icebergs in that we often don’t see most of their internal and external battles unless they decide to share like you have. Great stuff brother. Keep fighting 👊🏻
Oh yes, I should clarify that from my perspective, many of the martial arts forms are not included within the canon of combat spectator sports like prizefighting and UFC type leagues.
I’ve been considering trying out jiu-jitsu and/or judo, because I’ve seen the benefits of training in these disciplines, and how they carry over into everyday life. They build confidence, discipline and a sense of respect for others.
I also love and train mma. Can receive the same benefits from a discipline like jiu-jitsu though from the perspective of self-improvement and controlled combat. Let me know if you give it a try!
I’m thinking of movies now, with you as the protagonist.
My favourite movies are ones where lots of fighting is going on. I love the underdog using their perseverance and determination to come out on top. Like John Wick.
But there are also those stories where the protagonist fights and fights and gains no ground, then suddenly accepts and embraces and wins the day. Neo in Matrix 3, or Sing in Kung Fu Hustle, are examples of this.
I wonder what your story arc will be? Will you one day embrace the OCD and use it like a finely tuned laser superpower, or continue to survive in spite of it, always coming out one step ahead of your foe?

I will, and I'll likely have questions!
