Akshay Kumar is one star who is very vocal about women empowerment and the need for women to learn self-defence. Akshay has always stood for women’s rights and in the wake of the Bengaluru molestation case that happened on New Year’s Eve in 2017 had started giving training and holding self-defence training camp for girls. The star is well-known for his proficiency and love for martial arts and he has subsequently started using it to provide training to girls and women.
Today, he once again organized a training camp for school girls in Thane where he taught them some basic self-defence techniques. Akshay posted a video on Instagram where he can be seen teaching a girl various techniques to evade her attacker. He captioned the video as, “Happy to see a turnout of 2000 plus girls from nearby schools at our self-defence training camp in Thane today. The workshop was to teach them some basic self-defence techniques. Hoping it was helpful and to see more of them at our training centre. @adityathackeray.”

In the video, Akshay can be seen showing a school girl some basic moves and when the girl finally aces his teaching, the crowd that is gathered around erupts in a loud cheer. Isn’t it a great initiative by Akshay? Hats off to him for taking time out from his busy schedule to teach some necessary self-defence techniques to young girls.
