Do you think there's a correlation between extreme sports and what people do for work?
A number of guys I do jiujitsu with are like programmers, engineers, etc. When it comes to those who compete, though, it's hard to tell. A buddy of mine who's into F2 stuff actually runs a crypto company for extreme sports.
>>216818I've seen people from all walks of life (I do boxing and Judo). But I think the people who stay more than a couple of training sessions are usually kind of autistic.

>>216819That's interesting, at my gym like 80% are either practicing or studying law or computer science

>>216818Only in that the the guy's that never make it big usually end up in menial jobs or coaching
>combat sports - tradesmen or manual labour of some kind>traditional martial arts - whatever job it was, they probably retired from it in the 90s/2000s>bjj - stem, office work, or lgbt wing of onlyfans>skateboarding/bmx/etc - "dude wtf is a job?"
>>216818I don't think so. Even if you only look at the subset of combat sports, the people I know run the gamut from current/former Army Special Forces to pediatricians to florists.Mostly, the thing they have in common is something in their psyche that drives them to constantly test themselves.
