Trivium Matt Heafylle musta vyö brasilialaisesta jujutsussa

Yhdysvaltalaisen metalliyhtye Triviumin laulaja-kitaristi Matt Heafy on saanut mustan vyön brasilialaisesta jiu-jitsusta. Heafy on julkaissut aiheesta Facebookissa pävityksen, jonka mukaan aloitti jiu-jitsun harrastamisen 10 vuotta sitten ja on nyt yltänyt lajissa mustaan vyöhön. Mustan vyön suorittamiseen menee jujutsussa yleensä useita vuosia minimissään joten Heafy on todellakin ollut omistautunut lajiin ja harjoitellut sitä runsaasti. Voit lukea päivityksen tästä:

Here’s to the next 10 years.
