That's Sabrina's story. A mom, business owner, gym owner, and founder of Sub-Out Domestic Violence. Sabrina found her way onto the mat at 37 and found a community and a relief she had never known.

I just started BJJ at 39. My 7yr old son trains and it looked like fun, but I was scared because I have complex ptsd after being in a severely abusive relationship. I started doing research and discovered there was some evidence of efficacy as a compliment therapy for trauma survivors. I spoke with our professor (female black belt whose also had some trauma) and she encouraged me to try. I roll in a mixed class, but she only pairs me with women for now. I feel safe knowing that my professor is trauma informed and my husband stays with me to watch for signs of distress.
