For us, it's about finding your own strength and learning how to handle yourself when things get real. Our sessions are totally hands-on - you’ll actually use what you learn, not just watch and hope for the best. ### Who Can Join - We work with all kinds of folks - single participants, big groups, even full institutions. - Women’s self-defence classes are a big deal here. We make sure the space feels supportive, and we’ve run special camps just for women, like with the Bengaluru City Women Police. - Got a group at college or work? We set up group self-defense training that fits your crowd. ### What We Cover - Basics first: stances, balance, drills - all that to get your body used to moving right. - Real, practical self-defence skills: strikes, blocks, holds, and takedowns that work in real-life attack scenarios. - You’ll get to practice with partners, not just hit air. ### How We Train - Demos from both men and women instructors. No confusion, you see it up close. - You try, we watch - and we’ll jump in to fix your form if something’s off. - Our place is safe. Mats everywhere, good gear, so you can focus on learning, not worrying. Just ask our past participants - “ellam vishayamum alagaa engalukku solli kuduthaanga... romba romba nalla enjoy pannom” (they taught us everything beautifully… we enjoyed it a lot). ## Highlights Browse through General Thimayya National Academy of Adventure's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/gethnaa_gok_official/self-defence-training/featured) - [Video: We believe in the power of group energy to build confidence.
