For Akshay martial arts is a must

Pics: Why Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar thinks everyone should know Martial arts

Bollywood superstar and action king Akshay Kumar has always been passionate about martial arts and 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. Talking to a leading daily Akshay put forward it importance when he 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."
