Madonna fed up with Guy's fighting
Madonna has revealed that she is sick to the teeth of her husband Guy Richie's obsession with martial arts.

A source close to the star revealed to The Daily Mirror that Madonna is annoyed at the time that Guy spends practicing arts such as jiu-jitsu and Judo and does not want her children exposed to such violence.

The source is quoted as saying: "Guy says Madonna always complains that he spends every spare second down at his local centre fighting - but he'd never give it up."

The source also revealed that the couple's bodyguards also used jiu-jitsu and often Guy would practise with them at his house in Marylebone.

"He turns up at the martial arts centre at the end of the very hardest class - just for the fights. He says it's the only thing that de-stresses him," added the source.

In a previous interview Guy had admitted that he had tried more passive forms of exercise, but found they did not suit him: "I tried yoga for six months and it's not for me.

"I do judo or Brazilian jiu-jitsu, where men grapple one another while wearing Speedos in mud. No, that's not true, but it's a sort of sophisticated wrestling."
