Is Vin Diesel one of the oldest celebrity BJJ practitioners?

Whilst some celebrities are accused of using a fast-track system through the BJJ belt rankings, the same can’t be said for Vin Diesel. For those that don’t know, it turns out that Vin Diesel has been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu since the early 2000’s. Remember, this was years before BJJ hit the mainstream and it was far more obscure back in the day.

Since then, Vin Diesel has trained sporadically throughout the years whenever his busy schedule has allowed it. He trains on the west coast of America and is seen in a vintage picture with celebrity BJJ specialist Marcus Vinicius at his Beverley Hills BJJ academy. More frequently he was also spotted training with Rigan Machado, again in the Hollywood region. Throughout his many years of training, he has acquired the rank of blue belt.
