Akshay has always portrayed the art through his film effectively, keeping the tradition alive.
The ceremony is held in Mumbai today and our Khiladi Kumar will be honored by ‘Katana’ as well as a sixth degree Black Belt in Kuyukai Gojuryu Karate. The actor will receive the honor by the hands of Mehul Vora, the organiser of the first invitational National Open Karate Championship and Shihan Hirano Osamu, Grandmaster and founder of the Kuyukai International.
