2018 was a tough year for Demi Lovato. The singer was on death’s door following a heroin overdose. Lovato, like so many of us, sought solace in the mats and it appears her hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed by her instructor.
Lovato, who suffers from Bipolar disorder, uses BJJ as part of her treatment and has been open about her love for the sport in the past. Lovato initially got her first stripe from ADCC star Orlando Sanchez, but earned her blue belt at the Unbreakable Performance Centre in 2017.
Many were quick to criticize Lovato’s promotion as she had only been training for a year, but the star has kept at it and today she was awarded the second stripe on her blue belt.
Congratulation to Demi on her promotion and hopefully she will continue to inspire young girls into trying out BJJ.
