‘Force’ actor Vidyut Jamwal, who is trained in Kalaripayattu — a martial art form of Kerala, has reportedly designed a self-defence module for college students and working girls.A source close to him said: ‘He has designed an entire module on self-defence for college and working girls that can help them travel without any fear. These are simple technique that don’t need full self-defence course.’

‘More like a module that can be learned and implemented. Vidyut wants young women to be self-sufficient and independent,’ the source added. Vidyut, who impressed with his performance in ‘Force’, conceptualises his own action scenes, which can be seen in his forthcoming film ‘Commando’ when it releases April 12. He will also design and execute action sequences for himself in Tigmanshu Dhulia’s ‘Bullet Raja’.

Vidyut is a keen martial artist and he has represented India in competitions across the world, even as a youngster. Vidyut’s fitness regimen includes training early in the morning from 6 am to 11 am and then again from 5 pm to 9 pm. He does a mix of martial arts, kalaripayattu, gymnastics, jiu jitsu (a martial art and combat sport) and parkour (similar to street gymnastics with the aim to move as quickly and efficiently from one obstacle to the other using only one’s body), at times creating innovative combinations by mixing different art forms. Surprisingly, he does not spend too much time in the gym and only goes there for strength training. He is a pure vegetarian and so eats four meals a day. Though he is not a follower of a strict diet, he believes in having a balanced yet tasty meal. He does avoid aerated drinks and oily food. His fitness mantra is a simple one – religiously do any physical activity that you love and it will make sure that you stay fit. It can be anything from swimming, badminton to kick-boxing.
