Director Guy Ritchie not only celebrated his new spy movie, “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,” Monday, but also his status as a black belt in jiu-jitsu.

According to an insider, Ritchie, who we’re told was a brown belt for nine years, was presented with the new belt by his instructor, mixed martial arts fighter Renzo Gracie, at the film’s afterparty at the Bowery Hotel, where he briefly put it on to pose for a photo.

Along with fighting — he is also a black belt in judo — Ritchie plays guitar, and strummed on set along with Armie Hammer between takes.

“Guy had a bunch of old Irish folk songs he would do,” Hammer told us, with co-star Henry Cavill adding, “We’d make stuff up half the time.”
