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.

I'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.

>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

I 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.
