Ashton Kutcher Doing Jiu jitsu

When did Ashton Kutcher Start Jiu-Jitsu? Ashton Kutcher’s BJJ journey began in 2012 when he received his first-ever training in this art in Rio de Janeiro at the Ricardo De La Riva Academy. He tried this martial art to keep himself in shape. 9 years down the lane, he is soaring through it and is just one step away from earning the prestigious black belt.

He received his first 2 striped jiu jitsu blue belt in the early months of 2014, after 2 years of training. He trained on and off one year, while during the second year, he took private lessons religiously, every day.

When did Ashton Kutcher receive the Jiu-Jitsu purple belt? Keen determination and hard work helped Ashton Kutcher achieve the BJJ purple belt by the end of the same year, 2014.

The jiu-jitsu fan base had mixed reactions to this news, and many were concerned about how the former ‘two and a half men star’ received a purple belt in such a short span of time.

Rigan, however, was quick to respond and stated that Ashton had a firm background in wrestling which, along with his hard work, helped him in the quick grasping of this prestigious art.

When did Ashton Kutcher receive the BJJ brown belt? After almost 5 years of training Brazilian jiu-jitsu as a purple belt holder, Ashton Kutcher was finally awarded the brown belt in October 2019.

Where Does Ashton Kutcher Train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Like many other stars, Ashton Kutcher has been training BJJ under the coral belt holder, Rigan Machado.

Rigan Machado is not new to teaching this art to celebrities. He and his brother, together known as the Machado brothers, have worked with plenty of stars and have trained them to various degrees.

The coral belt holder, Rigan, is famously known for creating a BJJ routine fit for celebrities, which he calls the ‘Flow Jiu Jitsu.’ He trains them without regularly making them go through tough sparring and competitions.

That, however, doesn’t mean that celebrities don’t get their share of fighting.

More often than not, Ashton Kutcher jiu jitsu fights have become the talk of the town. He is often seen fighting big names in the BJJ fraternity and well-known fighters singing praises to him.

The video went viral a while ago, where Ashton was seen fighting the BJJ black belt Paulo Costa, who is currently ranked number 2, in the middleweight UFC Championship.

Ashton Kutcher BJJ Rolling

There was another Ashton Kutcher Brazilian Jiu Jitsu video that made rounds on social media recently. In which he was seen mid-sparring with Craig Jones, the ADCC Gold Medalist.

Although the sparring’s intensity and the pace looked more accustomed to the Flow Jiu Jitsu Routine, fans were clearly impressed.

This particular Ashton Kutcher BJJ rolling video puts a lot of unnecessary rumors to rest. The rumors were mostly about Ashton being unfit to carry the brown belt ever since he received one in October 2019. The fans were curious to know if he could really roll.

And so he proved. Not only was he seen rolling in this video, but he also managed to pass the guard and defend himself against the BJJ legend Craig Jones.

While traveling outside the State, Ashton has seen training at Ricardo De La Riva’ Academy in Rio de Janeiro and Roger Gracie’s Academy in London.
