There is so much in the world of JuiJitsu that can be translated into our everyday lives to give EVERYONE peace and this book is one of the bridges.

I am a full time BJJ instructor, and understand that jiu-jitsu has an incredible capacity to enhance people's lives, I have students who have definitely found therapeutic benefit from training jiujitsu.As a teacher of jiu-jitsu and practitioner for over 2 decades, I hope that as many people as possible can benefit from it as I have, and making jiu-jitsu accessible to as many people as possible means following best practices that allows trauma survivors to feel safe and comfortable within a jiu-jitsu school, as the practice itself can feel intimidating, just getting through the door can be an achievement for some.This book provides essential guidance on how all jiu-jitsu schools ought to operate, to best serve their members and potential members, and also gives explanation of how jiu-jitsu can be an incredible form of therapy for so many people.While just like injuries we cannot eliminate triggering individuals while practicing jiu-jitsu we can at least do our best to minimise the possibility. And know what can be done if it should occur.The information and guidance in this book will prove invaluable to any jiu-jitsu school.
