Robert Pattinson might be adding Jiu-Jitsu champion to his CV

Yesterday we shared on our instagram a photo that Rigan Machado (8 times Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Champion) shared with Rob.  Today Rigan posted a cropped closer version because he clearly understands Rob fans.  Don’t know if Rob’s training Ju-Jitsu style for a movie, but no doubt we will find out soon enough.  Here’s what BJJ (Eastern Europe) had to say about Rigan’s celebrity training style:

“I created a new jiu jitsu system for people who can’t get hurt. It’s technical training. They learn jiu-jitsu and technically train, but it’s all safe. I created a type of jiu-jitsu for the Beverly Hills clientele. Competition, sparring… these guys can’t do that. I can’t even take a 1% chance of them getting hurt. I have 18 celebrities doing this program. Some guys have to sign disclosure agreements; others like Ashton Kutcher and Mickey Rourke come in regularly, while Usher comes in once and a while and Vin Diesel when he’s in town.”

Do your celebrity students that have limited sparring, still get promoted (belts) like the other regular BJJ players that spar all the time?

I have only promoted 1 of my celebrity students and he spars almost every day that he trains, about 3-4 times a week. The rest of the celebrity students stay at their belt rank unless they begin sparring consistently. Some of the celebrity students came from other academies with their belt rankings.

Also I should mention that people should be less concerned about others training methods and ranking and more worried about the time they spend on the mat themselves.

Good to know Rigan.
