Tom Hardy wins two golds in a Jiu Jitsu competition

How would you feel if you were martial arts fighters and you were faced with none other than Bane, the terrible antagonist of Batman in “The Dark Knight”? Probably your blood would freeze, “but that can’t happen” you are thinking. Instead it happened, in Wolverhampton, to the participants in the “Reorg Open”, one of the most important Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitions in the United Kingdom. Among the members there was also Tom Hardy, the actor who played the famous enemy of the bat man, but also the wrestler of MMA Tommy Riordan in “Warrior”, a 2011 film.

And it will have been the psychological effect or it will be that he is really good, but the fact is that Hardy took home 2 gold medals. After all, the British Hollywood star has been training for 10 years now, after having discovered Brasilian Jiu Jitsu while filming “Warrior”. It is a ground fighting discipline born in the green-gold land in the 1920s as a modern version of traditional Japanese art thanks to the commitment of the Gracie family. Based on the principle that through the right levers and techniques a physically smaller person can prevail against a bigger one, first the vale tudo and then the current MMA developed from it.
