How Does Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Help?
A couple of days ago, I published a blog detailing my struggle with mental health and how BJJ saved me from myself. Now at the time I thought it was more important to focus on getting across the fact, that through training BJJ I was able to help myself and get much better mentally and physically, as well as spiritually to a certain extent. After publishing that blog, I immediately wanted to follow it up but focus more on HOW BJJ helped me, and has helped others. I have gone through my proverbial rolodex of the BJJ community that I know have been in similar situations to myself mentally, to get their thoughts too.

How Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Saved My Life
I know that when someone drops a title like "How Jiu Jitsu Saved My Life," people are expecting a badass story about choking guys out that tried to attack me and how I fought them off with complete ease. That's not what this story is about. This is how BJJ saved me from myself. I'm going to to drone on a little bit here but I want you (the reader) to bear with me because it is very relevant to the point I am trying to make.
