No rules, no points, just survival. I keep things straight - I train you for what actually happens out there. Samjhe? (Got it?) - Grappling is at the core, because most fights hit the ground. My system mixes BJJ, wrestling, and MMA - not for sport, but to control and protect yourself. - You'll learn takedowns, takedown defense strategies, chokes, submissions, and ground control techniques. It's all about leverage, not brute strength. ### My Method: Basics, Repeated No shortcuts, no fancy tricks. We drill solid basics till you can do them without thinking. Discipline is key - motivation comes and goes, but showing up is what makes you tough. Tagde banoge (You'll become strong). ### Training Options - Personalized adult self-defense coaching. One-on-one, any gender, any level. We focus on practical grappling for self-defense, with or without a Gi. - Kids at-home self-defense classes. I come to you, keep it friendly, and make sure your child is learning useful skills while building confidence. ### Mindset Needed Leave your ego at home, seriously. Apne ego ko ghar pe rakh ke aao (Keep your ego at home). You'll tap out, you'll mess up. That's normal. If you want to get better, be ready to work hard and learn. ## Highlights Browse through Gaurav Gulliya's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/gulliyagaurav/self-defense-training/featured) - [Video: This is what I mean by practical self-defense.
