Super Model and Actress Kate Upton has been training BJJ for the past few months and she has told Jimmy Fallon that she is obsessed with Jiu-Jitsu.
She was recently given her first stripe on the white belt and she proudly displayed the moment on her IG:
Uptonās instructor, āCoach J,ā stated about his student:
āI am very proud and honored to haveĀ @kateuptonĀ as a student. She is one of the hardest workers in the room, expects nothing but gives everything in every training session. From rolling 10 hard rds to sparring Muay Thai for a hour she is the definition of a fighter. Congratulations on your first stripeā
Upton is far from the first celebrity or model, the huge star Irina Shayk also loves training Jiu-Jitsu:
