Tom Hardy is a force to be reckoned with in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu scene, and his latest victory in a recent tournament proves just that. While more and more celebrities are dabbling in the art of BJJ, few have shown dedication to the sport like Hardy. He not only rolls and trains with the general public, but he also puts his skills to the test in competitions, making him one of the few exceptions in the celebrity BJJ world, alongside the likes of Mario Lopez.
It takes a lot of courage to put everything on the line in a BJJ competition, especially for a celebrity like Hardy. The attention on him is magnified, and his opponents are more motivated than ever to secure a victory against a well-known figure. However, Hardy has proven time and time again that he’s up for the challenge. He made his first appearance in August 2022, and since then, he’s remained consistently active, putting in the hard work and dedication needed to both train and compete.
Despite being based in England, Hardy has travelled far and wide to train with some of the biggest names in BJJ, including the legendary John Danaher in Austin, Texas. He’s not just in it for personal glory, either. Hardy has been working as an ambassador for the veteran’s BJJ charity Reorg, showing his dedication to using BJJ as a means of helping others.
