Akshay Kumar To Learn A New Form Of Martial Art For ‘Rowdy Rathore’

Akshay Kumar is heading off to an undisclosed destination in South East Asia to learn a martial art form called Combat Karate for his next film, Rowdy Rathore.
This martial art form utilises fast-paced high kicking and speed punching and strikes to vulnerable points on the opponent’s body. No rules are followed as it is a very stylised form of street-fighting. A source reveals, “There are various forms of Combat Karate, including the American one. However, Akshay will study the traditional art form popularly practised as an underground activity in South East Asia. Until recently, training in the art was banned in some countries in the region.
Akshay will be taking off for two months to learn Combat Karate, and will be accompanied by his action director Anal Arasu. During this training period, he will cut off from the outside world as this training involves rigorous discipline, focus and concentration. Rowdy Rathore is set in the rustic heartland of India, and will be directed by Prabhudeva. It will see the Khiladi Kumar return to the action genre, something he knows and does extremely well. Source
