How Jiu Jitsu Accidentally Healed My Anxiety

Описание: In this video, I share how jiu jitsu unexpectedly helped relieve my anxiety when nothing else seemed to fully work.

I talk about what anxiety actually felt like in my body, why calming practices alone didn’t always help, and how a physical practice like jiu jitsu taught my nervous system how to regulate under pressure.

If you’ve tried yoga, meditation, or breathwork but still feel tense, wired, or stuck in your head, this might give you a new perspective on what your body actually needs.

This video isn’t about “pushing harder” or fighting anxiety, it’s about learning how safety, movement, focus, and presence can change how your nervous system responds to stress.
