(Radio.com) Demi Lovato knows a thing or two about hand-to-hand combat, and now she has a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to prove it. The singer announced her achievement on Instagram, sharing a photo with the training crew who helped her reach the next level of the ancient practice.

"I'm so beyond excited because I just received my blue belt in #brazilianjiujitsu!!!!" she wrote. "I fell in love with #BJJ over a year ago and have been training several times a week ever since.. thank you so much to @chilcote.dunn @captainHarlan_ @tarsisbjj for giving me my belt along with one of the most important and special women in my life today @officialdaniellemartin/@trueboundaries � I love you so much and couldn't be more grateful for you. also special shoutout to @jayglazer for flying in to give me my belt as well!!!
