“The next step is the blue belt!” Model Luise Salmgrieze is learning the martial art of jiu-jitsu in Spain

Louise’s lover and father of daughter Stella is one step ahead of the model, as he is already decorated with a blue belt.

“The next step is the blue belt. I will realize it already in 2023. I have learned so much since I entered the classes, thanks to the teacher and my lover,” says Louise.

The model is learning martial arts in Spain, while her family life swings between America and Spain.

“Jiu-Jitsu is by far the hardest and most demanding sport I’ve ever tried or even seen, so the stripes seem like a huge achievement and a driving force to not give up,” said Louise.

Jiu Jitsu is a Japanese martial art that emphasizes developing your flexibility and using your opponent’s offensive energy for your defense. Jiu Jitsu encompasses throwing, punching, kicking, grappling, choking, and pain techniques, so it is often considered one of the most effective forms of self-defense.
