Even today he practices it in real life and encourages people to take it up so that they can protect themselves. It was his skill in doing action scenes that earned him the nickname Khiladi Kumar. But the famous Khiladi of Bollywood went a step further and started his martial arts academy in a collaboration that trains youngsters in this form of self-defense.
Moreover, Akshay is very insistent that girls should be taught martial arts so that they can defend themselves against any attack.
A video of the superstar went viral some time ago wherein he is shown teaching some basic techniques of self-defense to a young girl quite playfully. The tricks and techniques that he is showing are regular but if a girl masters them she will surely be able to protect herself. Contrarily the action star also has ensured that is daughter Nitara learns martial arts and was seen giving some special tips before her karate exams a year ago.
