Sanda & Practical Self-Defense Training in Delhi
Learn real-world combat skills from a 34th Generation Shaolin Warrior Disciple. We focus on Sanda, striking, and grappling, all built on a foundation of discipline and authentic martial arts.
I am demonstrating a Qi Xing Quan combat application. Observe the sequence of blocking an incoming strike, trapping the arm, and delivering a counter punch. This is how forms are translated into practical self-defense.
Here, I am teaching a student a basic blocking and trapping drill. We start with the first step, repeating the motion to build muscle memory for real-world Sanda applications.
Repetition is the mother of skill. The student practices the same fundamental blocking drill, learning to react instinctively to an opponent's movement.
This is a two-person drill focusing on footwork, blocking, and counter-striking. Training with a partner is essential to understand timing, distance, and the flow of combat.

About Sanda & Practical Self-Defense
In these sessions, you aren't learning flashy movie moves. We break every Sanda movement down to its base: stance, weight distribution, and timing. When you train here, you repeat the same fundamental drill until your body knows the counter-strike without you needing to think. If you come here, prepare to focus on the basics first.
Sanda is not about showing off. It is about practical self-defense. At my Shahpur Jat studio, we train students to handle real-world scenarios through a mix of striking, blocking, and takedowns.
The Methodology
My approach is rooted in my training at the Shaolin Temple in China. You will learn to use your body weight efficiently, keep your guard tight, and maintain distance. Beginners often try to rush the process, but as I say, repetition is the mother of skill. We emphasize stance work and muscle memory so that when a situation arises, your reaction is instinctive.
What You Will Train
- Striking and Blocking: Learning to parry incoming attacks and deliver accurate counter-strikes.
- Takedowns and Grappling: Understanding leverage to unbalance an opponent and control the space.
- Combat Flow: Moving from defense to offense seamlessly through partner drills.
This is not a gym for fitness fads. It is a place for disciplined Shaolin Kung Fu practice. Whether you are a total beginner or an experienced practitioner looking to refine your combat knowledge, the curriculum is adjusted to your pace. If you are serious about building real fighting capability and are ready to put in the hard work, this is the environment for you.
