Akshay Kumar, today met Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Sarbananda Sonowal. Bollywood Star told ANI after meeting Sports Minister " I am here to meet him, i want martial art "Kudo" be recognised by Indian Government.
Akshay is known for his passion for martial arts and he also attributes his own life's success completely to it. It is his dream to make martial arts
compulsory for students in school, so that they can learn the art of self-defence.
Last year,talking to reporters, he had said,
"Do you know that when the attacks of 26/11 happened at Leopold Cafe, there were 11 foreigners at that time, but not even one of them got injured as the moment they were attacked, they lay down on the floor, whereas the Indians did not know what to do and therefore got killed. When a grenade attack happens, it is the splinters that fly from it that hit you and kill you, but if you lie down on the ground, you can get saved. That is why countries like China, Hong Kong and Singapore train you on how to deal with difficult situations like fire, floods, attacks and even earthquakes. It is my dream that one day martial arts becomes compulsory in schools for every child."
Star actor has been promoting Kudo for long time.Kudo International Federation India (KIFI), is the governing body for Kudo in India, it was established on 19/10/2011, under the aegis of Jukucho Takashi Azuma and Shihan Akshay Kumar.
Kudo is a mixed Budo sport comprising full contact punches, kicks, throwings, and submission techniques on the ground. Kudo has its origins in Kakuto Karate (Combat Karate), but It is not just a mixed fighting with emphasis on competition side. It is a life-long sport, system for youth education, method of self-defence and health maintenance for adults. Along with this elements it stresses the "Reigi" or respect and etiquette in its tradition. In this sense it is a "Modern Budo" that has already spread in more then 60 countries around the world.
