That Akshay Kumar is a fitness icon who religiously worships martial art is a well-known fact in Bollywood. He has always been vocal and active supporter of martial arts. No wonder then, it is indeed his long cherished dream to make martial arts compulsory for students in school, in order for them to learn the art of self-defense. Many may not be aware of the fact that Akshay Kumar, for the last six years, has been sponsoring the lodging and boarding for 5000 kids, who come and participate in a Kudo championship which he had started with his own money.
