Singing star Demi Lovato recently appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast. The former Disney star discussed a number of topics during the interview, including her training in BJJ and how it has changed her life.
“I’ve tapped out a few people in my time,” Demi Lovato revealed to Rogan. “What’s really wild is when you surpass yourself. I never thought that I’d get a blue belt [the second of eight belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu]. I just never thought that I’d get a belt in anything. I’m a singer.”Â
“Hard work pays off” Lovato noted. “It’s just really cool when you get to prove yourself wrong.”
