    I think I had PTSD from a few interactions with violent people. I realized I was afraid of being close to people, afraid to touch people, so I took Jiu-Jitsu classes for a few months. It felt good to get some new positive experiences with people and to push myself, I realized I’m not so fragile and vulnerable. I stopped practicing when COVID hit and I had an unrelated inquiry, but I feel like the benefits really stayed with me.
