Mangaluru, (TOI): Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah and Mangaluru mayor Kavitha Sanil showed off their karate moves at the inauguration of the Indian Karate Championship 2017 in the city on Saturday.
Incidentally, Sanil is a black belt in karate.
The chief minister said all schools should start karate classes for children, especially for girls. Recalling the Bruce Lee movie 'Enter the Dragon', he said karate is essential self-defence for every girl.
During the function, the chief minister and mayor were seen trading "punches" in jest.
While speaking at the inauguration of the two-day Indian Karate Championship 2017, organised by Self Defence School of Indian Karate Mangalore Dojo, Siddaramaiah said, "I know Kavita Sanil is a karate champion and wish every girl to become like her while facing difficult situations. Martial arts empower people, particularly women, against intruders and hence, it is a must for women."
"The mayor has been asking me personally as well as through minister B Ramanath Rai to inaugurate the event. She has taken keen interest in organising the event solely," he said.
