British actor Tom Hardy took home two gold medals at a jiu-jitsu tournament last Saturday (Aug 21).

The charity event, Open Jiu-jitsu Championship, was held in Wolverhampton in Britain by Reorg, an organisation which teaches the martial art form to those with life-altering physical injuries, as well as those suffering debilitating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression.
