At Gojudo Karate, I keep it practical - no fancy movie stunts, just street-smart self defense that actually works when things get tough. Hum sirf punches aur kicks nahi sikhate (We don't just teach punches and kicks), I want you to walk out more confident and ready. ### Who Can Join Self-defense is for sab log (everyone). I've run workshops for women, corporate teams, and even the visually impaired. For women's safety training, I focus on simple moves anyone can use. Corporate team self-defense session? I bring the action to your office, and it’s always a solid ice-breaker. For NGOs and community groups, I adapt the lessons so everyone feels included - feedback is usually “mast!” (awesome). ### What You’ll Learn My sessions are hands-on, thoda fun bhi (a little fun too), but when it’s time to train, we get serious. You’ll pick up: - Basic strikes and blocks - Escape moves for common grabs - Tips to spot trouble before it starts - Info on emergency helplines We train at our Prabhadevi dojo, or I can come to you. Free community workshops bhi hote hain (we do free ones too), especially for special events. For me, safety is not just a skill, it's a mindset. ## Highlights Browse through Gojudo Karate's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/gktalalbaugdojo/self-defense-workshops/featured) - [Video: (Hero Item) Hear directly from the participants of our self-defense workshop for visually impaired women and girls.
