See how Mark Zuckerberg stayed on the jiu-jitsu canvas

One of the Meta CEO’s favorite things to do, Mark Zuckerbergit’s jiu-jitsu a classic Japanese martial art or koryu budo covering a wide range of modern fighting systems based on “unarmed” defense.

What is certain is that a Twitter user uploaded a fight that took place about a month ago in Woodside, California and was shared by NPR.

In the match, he fights with the Brazilian, who crushingly defeated him.

The myth of the video is that Zuckerberg would have been unconscious after his defeat. According to The New York Times, referee José Lucas Costa da Silva, a wrestling veteran, stopped the fight after hearing Zuckerberg snoring, a sign that he had passed out. Zuckerberg vehemently denied being wrong, simply writing to the Times, “That never happened.” Unfortunately, the newly released video doesn’t make this much clearer.

“For most of the video, both fighters are away from the camera, which makes it difficult to determine if Zuckerberg really passed out. However, while Zuckerberg’s legs wrap around his opponent, the latter appears to be jumping on his toes, seemingly putting his weight on Zuckerberg’s neck even more. Zuk’s legs seem to get weaker and weaker every second, and only when his opponent lifts him does the CEO fall off the mat,” Gizmodo said.

“Come on, Microsoft!” jokes the voice behind the camera. “You have a good story for later,” says another, apparently to the recorder.

Elana Wiedmann, spokeswoman for Meta, confirmed Zuckerberg’s message to The Daily Beast last week, stating that “not once did Mark pass out during the competition. It never happened”
