After Ashton Kutcher Divorce and Music Festival Fight, Star Turns to Jiu-Jitsu

Ashton Kutcher is mainly known for his acting, but he is also a producer, ex-model and martial artist. According to sources, he got his purple belt in Jiu-Jitsu earlier in the year, and his trainer thinks he's good enough to beat some pros. Also, this is not the first time Ashton has shown his combativeness to the public. Last year, he allegedly got into a heated tussle with a security guard at the Stagecoach Music festival in California.

Kutcher first broke onto the acting scene as Michael Kelso in the widely popular sitcom That 70's Show, which premiered on FOX in 1998. With its highly successful ratings and always amusing antics, the series carried on for a respectable eight seasons.

Since then, Ashton has starred in such films as Dude, Where's My Car, The Butterfly Effect, Jobs and of course Two and a Half Men.

In 2011, Kutcher first demonstrated his appetite for confrontation in his feud with the popular newspaper, The Village Voice. Originally, Kutcher and then-wife Demi Moore embarked on an anti child-trafficking campaign.

However, the paper found that the two were exaggerating statistics. Since then, the two have split up, but fans still remember how poorly Ashton handled the whole situation.

Now, according to TMZ Sports, Ashton satisfies his destructive tendencies in a healthier manner:

"Ashton Kutcher's first move after wrapping 'Two and a Half Men' could be becoming a world champion in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, if he wants it -- no joke -- according to his famous trainer. Rigan Machado...heard all the haters after Ashton earned his purple belt earlier this year. Detractors thought it was just a case of Hollywood favoritism, but Machado says Kutcher is a serious terror on the mats. Machado adds ... Ashton could beat some pros ... 'because his background is in [high school] wrestling he learns so fast.'"

Unfortunately, though, it seems that Ashton has a problem with only fighting in the gym. According to The Huffington Post, the popular celeb got into it with a security guard:

"The 35-year-old actor was in the VIP area at the Stagecoach music festival in Indio, Calif., when a female fan approached him to say hello...[then] things took a turn for the worse. Kutcher got into a melee with a security guard who intervened ...[Ashton] and the guard reportedly engaged in a violent shoving match until the actor's friends restrained him and he eventually left."
