Nationally Recognized Practical Self-Defense Systems
We do not train for medals, we train for survival. See why our practical self-defense methodology is trusted by national security organizations and educational institutions across India.
In this clip from my ABP News podcast appearance, I discuss my journey from training elite forces to founding Kavach for civilians. I realized the skills I taught were most needed on our streets, not just on the battlefield.
I was honored to be selected as a finalist for the OSPAs (Outstanding Security Performance Awards) 2024. This recognition from the top of the security industry validates our mission and the effectiveness of the Kavach system.
Receiving a certificate of appreciation from ASIS International, a global leader in the security profession. This was for a 3-day self-defense program we conducted for underprivileged girls, a cause very close to my heart.
Being felicitated at AnonOtsav 2023. It is a privilege to be recognized by organizations like the Anon Global Foundation, who share our commitment to social welfare and empowerment.
A short clip of me on stage at the Anon Global Foundation's annual event. Being given a platform like this allows me to spread the message of empowerment to a wider audience.

About this collection
True self-defense is about survival, not trophies or belts. When we conduct training—whether it is a corporate workshop or a university seminar—my instructors, who are mostly ex-military or specialized security experts, focus on the reality of street threats. We do not just show you moves; we show you how to identify a threat before it escalates, giving you the tactical awareness to walk away safely.
Kavach is not a typical gym or martial arts school. Our system is built on a simple premise: if you are a civilian, your battlefield is the street, the office parking lot, or a crowded metro. That is why our training has caught the attention of national security leaders like ASIS International and industry platforms like the OSPAs.
Why the Industry Trusts Our Approach
- Real-World Reality: We strip away the flashy martial arts routines. Everything you learn, from hand-to-hand strikes to situational awareness, is vetted by my 22 years of experience in the Indian Armed Forces and with elite police units.
- Focus on the Vulnerable: Our programs, including those conducted for underprivileged girls and university students, are designed to make you feel empowered regardless of your age, height, or previous physical experience.
- The Warrior Mindset: We teach you to manage fear. In a crisis, your mind is your first weapon. Our conditioning helps you override the 'freeze' response, giving you the clarity to act decisively.
Whether it is a 90-minute townhall for corporate employees or a multi-day workshop for university campuses, our 'Kavach Warriors'—my team of commandos and experts—bring the same level of discipline and attention to detail. We are not just creating fighters; we are building a safer community, one session at a time. If you want training that is backed by professional security standards rather than just 'sport' logic, you are in the right place.
Kavach
I am Varun Rawat, and for 22 years, I have served in the armed forces. I founded Kavach because I realized civilians need the same tactical mindset to stay safe that soldiers do, and I am here to bring that specialized, real-world training to you.
