"We are here to give something to the society. There is no monetary gain from it. I am doing it because I have earned a lot in life due to martial arts and it is my way to give back (to the society," the actor, who is trained in martial arts and has a black belt in taekwondo, told reporters here at a press conference Friday.



Akshay has also promised active participation in the training sessions.

"Whenever I will get time and if I'm in Mumbai, I would teach martial arts to them (the women). Like, I am starting the whole thing July 29," said the actor, who is set to go away on a holiday soon, to return in time for the training sessions.

Akshay's latest film "Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty" released Friday, and he will soon start shooting for "Singh Is Bling" with Kareena Kapoor.
