Has martial arts or combat sports helped you in your indie journey?

If you train martial arts or any combat sport, has it helped you in your journey as an indie maker?

I found that BJJ helped me to think differently (very complex art), manage stress (nothing better than having someone trying to break your arm), and push through fear (like cold calling/emailing).

Feel free to share thoughts in the comments. I'd love to connect, thanks!

    Man, if not for brazilian jiu-jitsu, I wouldn't be able to grind constantly. A black belt in the mean time :)

      Really cool to hear! Are you back to training yet? Sadly it looks like I won't be returning for the rest of the year.

        I'm in Ukraine, people have mostly stopped giving a shit about the quarantine. We have like 3k cases a day and we've had quarantine for only 3 months. The choice was simple: either everybody starves or people work and get sick. People chose the latter.
