JAKARTA - Trivium frontman Matt Heafy, who trained Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for a decade, reached an important milestone in martial arts with a black belt.
The 37-year-old musician was promoted to new rankings more than two years after earning a brown belt.
He was promoted by Gustavo "Gutty" Muggiati, who led Gracie Barra North Orlando in Heafy's hometown of Orlando, Florida.
On Saturday, March 4, Heafy shared a photo of himself with Muggiati, and he wrote in the accompanying message: "03-13-13 is my first day in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. BJJ is not easy for me... the fact - it was one of the most difficult attempts I've ever started in my life."
"For the first year - I wanted to quit - but apart from that. I'm going to go 5+ days a week - a few hours a day. It doesn't make sense for the first 3 years. I didn't keep what I needed for the first 5 years. But still - I held on to that and took time., "he continued.
"Year 6/7 - starting to make sense. Year 9/8 - I feel I'm starting to find my path (ultimate). Year 10. Black belt is not the end. This is the beginning.
"Thanks to everyone who has coached me, studied, lost; my family and friends for their support; my teammates; my academy... but most importantly: my professor Gutty. Gutty, you changed my life; you've made every student's life better.
"This is for the next 10 years.
"My advice is for all of you. Start BJJ. Now."
Heafy will appear with Trivium at the Hammersonic festival which will be held in Jakarta on March 18-19
