Ashton Kutcher BJJ Movie
Despite Ashton Kutcher’s real skills in BJJ, he’s never shown any BJJ techniques in a movie. I believe the predominant reason for this is that he always plays in romantic comedies and never has any fight scenes. However, he certainly possesses the skills to do a BJJ movie if he wants to.
How Good Is Ashton Kutcher at BJJ?
Ashton Kutcher is actually good at BJJ. He’s a brown belt under Rigan Machado and a brown belt in BJJ means you’re very good. Furthermore, Ashton Kutcher actually spars in BJJ. Many other celebrities who do BJJ only learn BJJ moves for their movies and don’t do actual sparring. But Ashton has both technical proficiency and sparring experience, which makes him really good at BJJ.

Ashton Kutcher started training BJJ for himself, not for one of his movies. He’s kept training and dedicating himself to Brazilian jiu jitsu and has now earned himself a brown belt. He’s likely to keep training until he gets his BJJ black belt. And if he ever does an action movie, we may see him show some of his jiu jitsu in a fight scene.
