MLB legend Barry Bonds earns blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu
Major League Baseball’s homerun king, Barry Bonds, recently earned his blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu from black belt John “J” Janero at Evolve Training Center in South San Francisco, California.
“I’ve been promoted by idols Rickson Gracie and Xande and Saulo [Ribeiro],” Janero said during the ceremony. “But I’ve never been able to promote my idol.”
Bonds, 58, holds the MLB record for the most home runs all time (762) and in a single season (73).
The gym posted a video of the ceremony on their Instagram page.
