Chris Pratt Demonstrating Takedown on Minotauro

Chris Pratt recently has been training with Noguera brothers.  On His Instagram profile he wrote:

If you know me you know I’m a massive fan of MMA (mixed martial arts) I consider JiuJitsu, karate, tae kwon do, judo and wrestling to be just as much an art form as acting is a job (which is to say sometimes it doesn’t feel like it is.) Regardless it’s a discipline which requires intense training, dedication and sacrifice. Today I was blessed to enjoy a training session with a couple of MMA’s greatest practitioners. The Noguera brothers are São Paulo natives and absolute legends. “MINOTAURO” asked me to demonstrate some wrestling takedowns on him. He is a former heavyweight champion in both UFC and Pride and is widely considered to be one of the toughest humans in the planet. He’s also one of the nicest. I guess when you walk around with a repertoire of lethal moves at your disposal you can afford to be gracious and kind. Thanks you @minotauromma and @minotouromma for the session!
