It’s no secret that actor Wesley Snipes is also a massive fan of martial arts. Just a glance at his physique proves that he takes training seriously and looks after his body. It turns out that the movie star has trained the likes of Hapkido and Kickboxing for years.
However, he is also more than just a striking martial artist. It turns out that he’s also big into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Having trained sporadically down the years, he has often trained with Rigan Machado at his BJJ gym in Beverley Hills. It turns out that the vast majority of celebrities in the USA train with him.
Interestingly, Snipes was set to fight Joe Rogan in an MMA match several years back, although this never materialized. Whilst many would have Rogan down for victory due to being a black belt in Taekwondo and BJJ, it would also be daft to write Snipes off completely as well.
Whilst this fight won’t happen due to both stars aging, the Blade hotshot is still in fantastic shape and proves that you can stay in great shape as you get older. As Blade once famously said, “I was born ready”, which seems appropriate for Snipes and his life-long dedication to martial arts.
