Those in the building were treated to the Venom star emerging victorious at the event.

Hardy, who is a big combat sports fan, trained in MMA for the 2011 film Warrior and has experience of fighting in several of his roles.

They include playing the Kray twins in Legend and Alfie Solomons in Peaky Blinders.

The competition was staged by charity REORG – who provide jiu-jitsu training for “disabled combat veterans in the UK suffering from either serious injuries or post-traumatic stress disorder”.

Tom Hardy showed off his MMA skills.

Hardy showed he wasn’t messing around by going on to take out the tournament victory with a video of one fight quickly going viral across social media.

The Hollywood superstar showed off his mixed martial arts prowess as he controlled his opponent from the top position.

He looked to have lost his position but quickly regained his composure and quickly went to work on his opponents left arm.

In a dominant position, Hardy shifted and moved into an arm bar position and after trying to pull the left arm away he eventually got his way and had his hand raised in victory.

Hardy went on to make a six-year-old boy’s year as he posed for photos with the youngster.

Mum Carla Frost revealed after the event that her son and huge Venom fan Ollie was able to meet Hardy and pose for pictures with the Hollywood A-lister.

“I received a message that he was in our town competing in a Jiu-jitsu tournament, drove down, walked in, asked for him and was told he had just left,” she said to The Express and Star.

“My son then burst into tears. The lovely lady from REORG decided to just check.

“The next thing I know this lovely man is walking across the sports hall to us.

“He instinctively scooped my son into a hug and proceeded to just make his year.

“He’s so kind and thoughtful. So surreal! My son has grown up hearing me talk about how talented and brilliant this man is.”
