Why am I so in love with Jiujitsu? I think that after twenty something years of training, I finally figured it out. Police work isn't easy in a big city, I have seen a lot of the deaths, accidents and shootings etc, and because of it, it caused me to suffer from depression, quite possibly PTSD. I also went through a bad divorce and that was a horrible time in my life. I never went to see anyone for help, instead I started to train even more! I found that by training, getting submitted, submitting others, sweating, the feeling of winning and losing on the mats is therapy. The endorphins released during a physical training session help rid the mind of those bad moods of thought and help you feel better! That is why when I would go train after a long day of police work, Jiujitsu was the only thing that balanced me back to a level of calmness. When I first started Jiujitsu, I like everyone else, saw it as just a self defense. As I continued to train however, it went from just being a self defense, to a positive lifestyle, a place where I could put aside my moods and feelings and just let everything go, a place of therapy, a place where you learn to overcome your fears and learn to become comfortable where you where once uncomfortable. The mats is my temple, and Jiujitsu is the Sermon that brings me peace. 🙏🏼❤️🤙🏽 Sensei #trillonation #trillobjj #jiujitsutherapy #enjoylife https://www.instagram.com/p/B7QkGBcJYjP/?igshid=9q1ou3b7pwd
