Tom Hardy was a hit at a charity jiujitsu tournament in Wolverhampton, England, recently.

The “Venom” star won two gold medals, People reported Monday . A clip from Sebastian Lach showed off the actor’s winning form at the event on Saturday.

Hardy’s presence at the REORG all-comers tournament should not come as a surprise as he’s noted as a trustee on the charity’s site. Also, he has been reportedly training with the organization, which teaches Brazilian jiujitsu to battle-scarred war veterans and others, since he played an MMA fighter in the 2011 movie “Warrior,” Newsweek noted .

In one of his matches over the weekend, Hardy apparently almost broke his opponent’s arm before his adversary tapped out, MMA Mania wrote . The 44-year-old reportedly has his blue belt in Brazilian jiujitsu. 

On another combat-sport front, fellow British movie star Idris Elba made his kickboxing debut in 2016 and scored a first-round knockout . Elba made a short series of his trials in the sport.
