Gil Cuerva has a new hobby!
Gil Cuerva recently ventured into jiu-jitsu and emerged victorious in his first-ever competition after finishing with a gold medal.
The Sparkle actor shared on Instagram photos and videos from his competition last weekend. According to Gil, it took a lot of convincing before he decided to join the competition.
"Ironically, prior to the competition, I felt like I wasn't even ready to compete," he mused.
Gil took home a gold medal after winning in all his three matches.
He highlighted how there is still "so much room for improvement" since he has only been training for less than a year.
Despite this, the actor said he is enjoying learning more about the sport.
"I'm enjoying the process of learning and the grind to becoming better. First gold of hopefully more to come. Oss!" Gil continued.

Gil also thanked his coaches, teammates, and training partners for guiding and supporting him through his jiu-jitsu journey.
In an Instagram post last September, Gil shared about learning jiu-jitsu at 28.
"It's never too late to try something new and to reinvent yourself but you just need to make the change from One Day -> Day One," he previously said.
