Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, has added another feather to his cap by winning gold and silver medals in his first jiu-jitsu tournament. The tech tycoon took to social media to share the news with his followers alongside a photo carousel of the event. In some of the pictures, Mr Zuckerberg is seen wearing the white training uniform while competing against other players. He also posed with a group of people in another picture.
Zuckerberg thanked his trainers and his team, Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu, for their support in his post. The news quickly went viral on social media, with the post receiving over 1.5 lakh likes and numerous comments congratulating him on his success. One person who had the honour of refereeing his matches praised Zuckerberg’s warrior spirit, while others welcomed him to the world of martial arts.
Zuckerberg had reportedly taken up mixed martial arts (MMA) training last year, with his trainer describing him as a “silent killer” in the ring. He had posted a video on his official Instagram handle in which he sparred with Khai Wu, a professional mixed martial artist and jiu-jitsu black belt. The Facebook co-founder had referred to Mr Wu as his training partner at that time.
Zuckerberg’s latest victory in the jiu-jitsu tournament highlights his passion for martial arts and his commitment to fitness. His success has also inspired his followers and fans to take up martial arts and explore new hobbies and interests. Zuckerberg is known for his diverse interests and is constantly exploring new avenues to enhance his skills and knowledge.
The CEO’s success in the tournament also reflects the importance of staying fit and healthy in today’s fast-paced world. With stress and pressure mounting on professionals and executives, it is essential to prioritize fitness and wellbeing. Zuckerberg’s dedication to martial arts and fitness is an example for others to follow, and it shows that success can be achieved through hard work, discipline, and determination.
