Akshay has been closely associated with martial arts and the 14th international Kudo tournament was organized by him near Surat, Gujrat. He posted a video from the championship as he met the winners of the season and broke bricks during the event.
Akshay writes in his post, “Thankyou for celebrating your Diwali with us here at the Akshay Kumar 14th International Kudo tournament. Coming here is always humbling, meeting you all reminds me of my beginning. I hope with the help of this tournament we help Kudo grow in India each passing year.”
Akshay has a close bond with martial arts and has trained in the same for many years. He said in 2011, “Karate is me. I am Akshay because of karate. I owe it my life, my career, my reason for being the disciplined action hero that I am. I think karate should be made compulsory in schools so that children have the ability to defend and discipline themselves.” “I got a special opportunity. My father let me practice. Now, I want to be like a father to those who are not as fortunate. I wish I could do more. Right now I am funding, feeding, supporting and organizing this tournament to find the best so they can compete internationally and boost karate in India,” he further stated.
In the footage, Akshay is wearing a suit as he enters the location. The actor participated actively in the event and demonstrated his skills by using a hammer to smash bricks. Even at 55, he is one of the fittest and most disciplined actors in the industry.
