Tom Hardy enters Jiu-Jitsu competition secretly & wins all his matches; Read why he did it-

Hollywood star Tom Hardy, known for his roles in Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, and Venom, recently participated in a martial art competition with his real name, Edward Hardy, and absolutely nailed it.

 

The actor participated in the 2022 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Open Championship organized by the Ultimate Martial Arts Championships in Milton Keynes. He appeared in a blue gi, subdued all his opponents, and won all the matches leaving the spectators captivated.

 

 

"Everyone recognised him but he was very humble and was happy to take time out for people to take photographs with him. It was a real pleasure to have him compete at our event, " a spokesperson for the championship said.

 

Hardy has secretly participated in martial arts competitions earlier as well. In August, he won the REORG Open Jiu-Jitsu Championship in Wolverhampton, a tournament aimed at raising funds for military personnel, veterans and emergency service workers.

 

On Wednesday, the 'legend' actor explained his reasoning on Instagram, claiming that he was not only competing for himself. He competed in the championship for a global nonprofit charitable organisation that assists veterans and first responders, which was held in the United Kingdom.

 

"Addiction is difficult and complex stuff to navigate; as is mental health," Hardy said via his Instagram post. "Subjects which are both deeply personal for me and extremely close to my heart."

 

 

"It is an honour to be able to represent the charity and my team REORG and the great work they do support the mental health and well-being of veterans of service, military and first responders through the therapeutic benefits of Jiu Jitsu and fitness training," he added further in his social media post.
