Singer Peter Andre is all set to open 500 sports centres where student will learn Kung Fu.
Andre, who is a father to two children with ex-wife Katie Price, said it will enable kids to learn discipline, reported Sun Online.

"One of the first things they learn is I promise I will not use this on mums, dads, grandmothers, grandads, cats, dogs or goldfish... I will use it purely for self defence," he said.
"It's all about that and learning a skill, which brings confidence. We're going to be doing quite a lot. It's going to take some time. I can't wait," he said.
The 'Mysterious Girl' hitmaker revealed that learning to protect himself has given him more confidence in dealing with day-to-day confrontations and difficult situations.
"I will still try and talk my way out of any situation but it's given me that sense of knowing if I'm in a situation I can't get out of I know what to do, and there's a good feeling about that.
