It’s been long known that Keanu Reeves is a big Jiu-Jitsu fan…
And one of his coaches, Rigan Machado, is praising the actor’s skills – a lot.
Reeves spoke about his passion for BJJ a number of times:
As you get deeper and deeper into training, you get less and less normal life.
Which I’ve enjoyed, I’m focused on it [training].
Friends are, like: “Where did you go?”I’m in the training paradigm.
And now, Machado spoke about the famous actor’s capabilities:
Every position, he knows how to escape, how to set up, how to counterattack, and how to do submissions.
So why does Keanu Reeves like Jiu-Jitsu so much?
It’s simple, really – because of the mix of the physical and mental aspects:
I really enjoyed the physical side of it.
I like tasks. I like the puzzle.
I like trying to get good at something.So it’s fun to do physical stuff, figure it out and try to be great at it.
