Demi Lovato is feeling blue…

Two days after singing the national anthem at the Floyd Mayweather–Connor McGregor fight, the 25-year-old part-Mexican American singer/actress proudly announced she has personally advanced levels in another type of martial art and combat sport, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

“I’m so beyond excited because I just received my blue belt in #brazilianjiujitsu!!!! I fell in love with #BJJover a year ago and have been training several times a week ever since,” Lovato captioned a selfie on Instagram, alongside thank you messages to those who have worked with her and shown support.

Jay Glazer, owner of Los Angeles training facility Unbreakable Performance, shared another snapshot of Lovato, writing: “I’m more proud of the work @ddlovato puts in with nobody watching than i am what she does with the world watching. Congrats on achieving your blue belt today in #bjj, YOU put the grind in!”

Jiu Jitsu champ Danielle Martin also posted a snapshot. “We were all so honored today to give @ddlovato her blue belt,” she said. “Her dedication, persistence and passion for Bjj is inspiring. Looking forward to this continued journey with her. Congratulations!! I am so very proud of you.”
