Tom Hardy wins gold medals at Jiu-Jitsu competition All details explored View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Tom Hardy appears to have dominated all his fights at the REORG Open Jiu-Jitsu Championship. The Hammersmith, London native is reportedly a trustee of the REORG Charity organization, which is possibly why he competed in the competition to raise money for veterans and individuals with PTSD. In late 2018, Hardy was also named the Head Ambassador of REORG. The organization, according to its description, "work with people who have a whole range of serious, life-altering physical injuries, as well as those suffering debilitating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression." Thus, Tom Hardy's involvement with the charity and his prior experience with mixed martial arts, especially Jiu-Jitsu, might have encouraged him to compete in the event. As per Geoff Pavey, who recorded and uploaded the videos of Hardy's fights, the actor won all the bouts he entered. Furthermore, Hardy's wins were all by the submission of his opponent, and many of his fights were also won in armbars. View on TikTok In one of the videos, Pavey said: "Tom Hardy out here ripping people's arms and legs off." Netizens left amazed by Tom Hardy s Jiu-Jitsu competition gold medal win Following his wins at the charity Jiu-Jitsu event on Saturday, Hardy's fans were seemingly impressed with the actor's wins in two categories, i.e., Gi and non-Gi fights. In Gi fights, the participants wear cotton kimonos to grab onto each other. Meanwhile, non-Gi refers to the fights where participants wear rash vests and shorts.
