Tom Hardy takes down opponent after surprise entry in martial arts championship

Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Tom Hardy takes down opponent after surprise entry in martial arts championship” – below is their description.

Footage has emerged of Tom Hardy taking down an opponent in a martial arts championship before going on to win gold. The video shows the star, dressed in blue robes, grappling with fellow Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter Gavin Marsh at an event he secretly entered in a school sports hall. Hardy, who holds a high-level blue belt in the ground-fighting combat sport, hooked his arm around his opponent’s neck, and within just 20 seconds he was declared the winner by submission. He was then declared the champion of his section after beating all-comers. Sean Rosborough, who sponsored the event, said the organisers knew the global mega-star would be coming to Oakgrove School, in Milton Keynes, a few weeks earlier. He said they kept the dashing actor’s appearance to themselves to stop masses of people distracting him from taking part in the competition.
