About Self-Defense Workshops
Why I Run These Workshops
Most of us have worried about what we'd do in a dodgy situation. I’m not here to make you a fighter in one class. What I want is for you to walk out knowing you can handle yourself - with confidence, not just theory.
What I Actually Teach
- No movie stunts or faaltu (useless) drama.
- Real life self defense training for stuff you might actually face on the street or at work.
- Simple ways to break free if someone grabs you - wrists, arms, whatever.
- What to do if someone tries to take you down or hug you from behind.
- Basics on defending yourself if things go to the ground.
- How to spot trouble early and avoid it, because self-defense starts before anything physical happens.
Who Shows Up
- Beginners self defense classes are our jam - if you’ve never punched before, you’re in the right place.
- Women's safety workshops led by our top female coaches - safe, supportive, and zero judgment.
- Corporate self defense sessions for teams, NGOs, friend groups - we can come to your office or community.
Who’s Training You
My team and I are not just random trainers. We’re national-level MMA, Jiu-Jitsu, and wrestling competitors. We live this every day, bhai.
What To Expect
Workshops run at our HSR Layout gym, or we travel for group sessions. Small batches only, so everyone gets real attention. Maza aana chahiye (it should be fun), warna kya fayda? (otherwise, what’s the point?)
