The Young and the Restless star Zuleyka Silver shared the details of an impressive accomplishment in her personal life. She suggested that with her accomplishment, she has a potential backup plan if “all else fails.”
Moved up a Rank in Jiu Jitsu
In an Instagram Story posted on January 27, Silver shared a photo in black and white. She wrote, “When all else fails, there’s always Jiu Jitsu! 3rd stripe tonight baby!”
Silver had a big smile on her face as she held out the end of her belt with its three stripes. An instructor stood next to her and had a big smile on his face as well.
The Y&R star also tagged the place she has been training, the Cobrinha BJJ Alliance LA, and thanked them for being part of her journey.
In November 2024, Silver posted on Instagram about having started learning Jiu-jitsu. The caption read, “So grateful to have found Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Got my second stripe! (of many more) Who wants to see my moves?”
According to the website BJJ Fanatics, Silver’s white belt is the first of several colors in the progression of skills in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Each color also has stripes one earns before moving up to the next color of belt.
Silver will earn four stripes on her white belt before she moves up to a blue belt. After earning her second stripe in November, she has now earned her third stripe as well.
BJJ Fanatics notes that the time investment needed to progress in the system depends on the student’s dedication and skill level. Based on Silver’s posts about her journey, it appears she is both skilled and dedicated.
Learning Jiu Jitsu seems to be Silver’s latest passion when it comes to her physical health. In May 2024, she posted a video on Instagram that indicated she was training in boxing, too. “Feeling stronger every week,” she wrote in the caption of that post.
