>A good hobby I recommend everyone that will help you totally tune out from your work is jiu jitsu

Yes! If people only knew the type of escape that was possible, both mental and physical. American blackbelt Chris Haueter once recalled how he would eagerly drive hours to the gym in his shitty car, from his shitty job and shitty relationship, because he knew it would all roll off him when he hit the mat.

Learning to escape is part of the mental chess, what jiu jitsu is. Many people bring a bunch of sacrifices for the love the gentle art. :)
