Photos: BJJ blue belt Anthony Bourdain wins gold at New York Open

Anthony Bourdain may be known for his cooking, but he recently showed off his chops on his other passion, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The celebrity chef joined his first BJJ tournament as a blue belt, and he faired well, taking gold at the IBJJF New York Spring International Open Championship.

Bourdain, who earned his BJJ blue belt in 2015, competed at the Masters 5 Middleweight Division and took home gold at the tournament.

Here are photos from his competition:

Bourdain of course, celebrated his win with a nice meal.

Bourdain is turning 60-years old this June, and finds time to train as much as possible despite his busy schedule.
