Just a comment on the Tom Hardy section: as an Iraq war combat vet you two hit the nail on the head with the struggles with reintegration, and the similarities between BJJ and military service. Jiu Jitsu was my port in the storm. I never thought I’d find my place again, and always found myself smashing against the proverbial wall, asking myself if the worst time of my life, deployment, was actually also the best time of my life. If I’d ever feel like I was living in a way I could be proud of again. Jiu Jitsu and my training partners gave me that again, and I’m forever grateful. 🤙
