I teach you 'Tharkappukkalai enbathu suvasathin ozhukkam', which means self-defense is the discipline of breathing. In our sessions, we focus on stance, awareness, and simple, effective movements you can rely on when pressure hits. You are not just learning to strike; you are learning to keep your calm when it matters most. ### More Than Just Fighting When people come to me looking for self-defense, they often expect just fighting techniques. They are wrong. My academy focuses on building character and situational awareness. Whether you are a woman looking for safety skills or a parent enrolling your child, you will learn to face fears and walk straight. We teach the fundamentals of traditional Kung Fu and Praying Mantis styles, known for their effective grabs and strikes. ### How We Train Our classes are direct. Expect to hear 'One! Two! Next!' because I believe in constant repetition to build muscle memory. We start with conditioning, move to basic blocks, and then practice under controlled pressure. We have facilities in Chennai and Bengaluru, ranging from open-air grounds to specialized halls where we use focus mitts and shields. You will work hard, you will sweat, and you will learn. ### Real-World Application We do not sugarcoat the reality of danger. Our self-defense drills for women and kids focus on wrist releases, creating space, and using your voice effectively. We also teach the 'Tiger Style' hand forms to develop power and focus. If you are looking for a place that treats martial arts as a way of life rather than a weekend hobby, you have found it. My brother is a cop and I have been teaching for 20 years, so I know what works on the street and what does not. Come join our family if you are ready to put in the work. ## About Core Power Kung Fu Academy I am Sifu G Francis Aaron. I started this academy on a beach 20 years ago, and today we are a family spread across Chennai and Bengaluru. I do not care about fancy titles as much as I care about seeing a student walk into a room with their head held high.
