If he keeps this up he'll be a black belt in no time! Prince Jackson covers sweat-soaked hair with a bright red doo rag following gruelling jiu-jitsu training

Prince Jackson has long been a devotee of jiu-jitsu.



And on Monday, the son of the late, great King Of Pop was seen looking a little worse for wear after emerging from his beloved class at the famed Gracie Academy in Beverly Hills following a gruelling training session.

The 17-year-old was once again seen donning a navy blue tank top emblazoned with 'Gracie University EST 1925' across the chest as he proudly promoted the studio he frequents on a

regular basis.



If he keeps this up he'll be a black belt in no time! Prince Michael emerged from his jiu-jitsu class looking a little worse for wear on Monday, having worked up a sweat with his high-energy martial arts moves

Michael Jackson's eldest child mopped up his sweat with a bright red doo rag that covered his brunette mane, his face still a little flushed and clammy as he stepped out into the hot summer sun.

A pair of long red shorts with black and white pattern on the legs and comfy black flip flops completed his casual look.

He kept hydrated with a bottle of Fiji Water, while he was loaded down with two rather heavy-looking bags - one a smaller bright blue gym bag, the other a much larger camouflage-style backpack.

He was joined by a fellow martial arts student of a similar age and an older man who appeared to be the boy's father as they left the building, seen chatting as they headed to their cars.

He's found his passion: The 17-year-old has been attending the prestigious Gracie Academy in Beverly Hills for several years now, with the teenager having been awarded his blue belt in July last year - the second tier of a possible five

In July last year, it was reported that the youngster had earned himself a blue belt from the prestigious academy - the second tier of a possible five which is hard-earned by demonstrating hundreds of complicated moves.

With Prince and his siblings Paris, 16, and Blanket, 12, having commemorated the fifth anniversary

of their father's death on June 25, they are now gearing up to celebrate what would have been his 56th birthday on August 29.

All around the world, fans plan on converging to honour the star's immense contribution to the music industry with dance parties and screenings in his memory.

Oscar-nominated director Spike Lee is also bringing back his annual Brooklyn Loves Michael Jackson event, which ran for two years before being derailed by Hurricane Irene, it was announced on August 11.



Held at Bed-Stuy's Restoration Plaza, festivities will include singing and dancing to the legend's iconic songs as played by DJ Spinna.



It looks like Prince's sister, Paris, will indeed be present for the family's private memorial, with the teenager reportedly having returned to her grandmother Katherine Jackson's Calabasas, California home late last month following her stint in a treatment facility in Utah.



The brunette has been living at 'therapeutic boarding school' Diamond Ranch Academy since her failed suicide attempt in June last year as she gets back on her feet.
