Jaden Smith, who recently starred in the new Karate Kid movie, has said publicly that he will go to Hong Kong to deepen his understanding of martial arts through further training.

Karate Kid brought in $56 million in its first weekend and before the film is out of the theater Smith will begin work on the next installment, reported Teen Hollywood.

Smith’s mother Jada Pinkett Smith, who is married to Hollywood heavyweight Will Smith, commented on the young actor’s plans to strengthen his abilities as a fighter.

“Now he’s asking to send him to Hong Kong for two months so he can continue his training. So I'll probably go to Hong Kong for two months and do that,” said Smith.

While Sony makes preparations for the production of the next Karate Kid film, the company is facing criticism from The Australian Council on Children and the Media. The council believes that the Karate Kid film was too violent for children. The film was originally rated M for mature but was then changed to PG, reported ABC News.

“Parents are always the front line on this, so they do have the ultimate responsibility,” said the council’s vice president Elizabeth Handsley.
