Metal fans rejoice — Dave Mustaine not only trains jiu-jitsu, but he’s also getting pretty good at it, too.
Mustaine, 57, was given the first stripe on his blue belt at Gracie Barra Spring Hill BJJ & Self-Defense, which is led by third-degree black belt Reggie Almeida.
The musician joins an ever-growing list of celebrities who have taken up jiu-jitsu, including Demi Lovato and Tom Hardy. Mustaine is an accomplished artist, having co-founded the metal band Megadeth (for which he still writes, sings, and plays guitar) and served as the original lead guitarist for Metallica.
