u/_functionalanxiety

Hello, I'll be in Penang for the first time soon for work mostly. I'll be staying at Ascott Gurney. Even just 5KM is fine. Somewhere safe for women please. Thank you!!

Just for context: i have been diagnosed with PTSD but mostly functional until last week I had a stalker and it triggered again.

I want to try something that could be a self defense thing just in case.

Would you recommend BJJ? My concern is I'm not sure if I'm that comfortable sparring with men considering also that i am "more blessed" in areas (if you know what i mean).

For my background, mostly i do some running and weights, i have a previous experience on boxing as well. I'm on the edge of a normal and overweight BMI.

I hope to get feedback and hopefully respectful comments. Thank you
