Actor Jeremy Piven recently started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and shared a snap with him and Rener Gracie whilst training. Here, Piven wrote “There’s nothing like being humbled by a master… Thank you Rener Gracie for your skills, patience and passion (and Superior hair line)”
It looked like he had just took part in a no gi private lesson with Rener who also looked pretty happy as well. Piven is best known for his role as Ari Gold in the comedy show Entourage. He was also in his mid 50s when he was spotted training with Rener, which proves that BJJ is doable for people of all ages and walks of life. In fact, some older practitioners still compete which says it all.
Stay tuned to see if Piven gets his blue belt. If he does, there’s every chance he gets it from Rigan Machado who seems to be a magnet with celebrities who train BJJ.
