Rigan Machado is known for training various mega celebrities BJJ from his Beverley Hills gym. It seems that the most recent student is Robert Pattinson. The British actor was pictured with Rigan Machado who was happy to take a picture with the BJJ veteran.
Machado used the picture on his Instagram page with the simple title ‘Batman’. He had also tagged the official Batman DC Comics page which could be seen as a nod towards Pattinson training for the film. Over the years, combat and fighting have been a key part of the Batman movie franchise. Seeing as more and more Hollywood blockbusters are incorporating BJJ into their fight scenes, it seems logical that Pattinson could be learning a few Jiu Jitsu moves to add to his fight scenes.
