Besides being talented in their areas of professional expertise, some international celebrities also know martial arts such as taekwondo, kung fu, judo, and karate. Some have practiced them in the past, while others still follow several disciplines as a way to keep fit. A few are even black belts!
Mark Zuckerberg is a lot of things—Meta CEO, billionaire, controversial figure—and now he's adding jiu-jitsu champion to the list! The father of three announced on social media that he had won silver and gold in his first-ever jiu-jitsu tournament over the weekend. "Competed in my first jiu jitsu tournament and won some medals for the Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu team," he wrote.
He also thanked Dave Camarillo, Khai Wu, and James Terry of Gorilla Jiu Jitsu for helping him train, and Wu wrote in his own post: "Yesterday getting to see @zuck compete was pretty epic. No match was easy and everything was earned. It was an honor to be able to help coach and offer any advice I could."
