Meta CEO and Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg won a gold medal in his first ever jiu jitsu tournament. Apart
from the gold medal, the man who is familiarly called Zuck also brought
home a silver medal for his jiu jitsu team, the Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu
Team. This achievement was conveyed by Zuckerberg in his latest Instagram post via the official account with the @zuck logo.
Through
his post, the Meta boss also shared several photos showing his actions
in the jiu jitsu tournament which was held at Woodside High School,
Woodside, California, United States of America, Saturday (6/5/2023)
local time.
I
just took part in my first jiu jitsu tournament and won a number of
medals for the Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu Team," Zuckerberg wrote, as quoted by
KompasTekno from Zuckerberg's Instagram account, Tuesday (9/5/2023).
"Thanks to the coaches for
honing
their skills me!” Zuck added, mentioning the Instagram accounts of his
three jiu jitsu coaches. Love jiu jitsu since the Covid-19 pandemic
Jiu jitsu is a mixed martial arts sport focused on ground combat. Zuckerberg's love of martial arts was first revealed on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast last August. At that time, Zuck admitted that he had started doing this hobby since the Covid-19 pandemic. Hobbies can also help increase focus and enthusiasm in carrying out daily activities.
"After
practicing jiu jitsu for a few hours, or wrestling co-workers or other
people on the floor, I feel like I can fight back and solve all the
problems that exist in the office," Zuckerberg told Rogan at the time.
One
of the coaches from the Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu Academy team, Khai Wu,
admitted that Zuckerberg is a person who is good at doing jiu jitsu
actions, and can even master a number of extreme techniques in this
martial art. "You probably
wouldn't think that someone from Facebook's boss class could master
martial arts, and maybe beat you with the extreme jiu jitsu techniques
that he knows. You have no idea how strong this nerd (Zuckerberg) is." ,” Wu claims.
Apart from jiu jitsu, Zuckerberg is also known to enjoy other hobbies such as 3D printing, sewing, hunting pigs, and fishing. In
his 3D printing hobby, Zuck previously shared an Instagram post, in
which he managed to print and sew a number of gorgeous dresses for
princesses.
