Practical Self-Defence & Safety Workshops
I take self-defence skills beyond the gym floor. Whether it's a corporate team-building session, a school anti-bullying seminar, or a public safety event, I teach practical, street-ready skills that actually work in real situations.

About Community Workshops & Events
In these sessions, I strip away the fancy tournament moves. Whether I am with a corporate team or a school group, I teach how to use body mechanics and everyday objects to create space and escape. It is about being practical, not flashy—because when you are in a real spot, you need reactions, not rules.
My workshops for schools, colleges, and corporate houses are not about sport. They are about survival and confidence. When I conducted the session for 250+ girls at GL Bajaj or the training at XDBS, the goal was the same: to turn fear into action.
What I Bring to Your Event
- Practical Self-Defence: We focus on the 'stop' signal, verbal de-escalation, and identifying threats early.
- Everyday Item Defense: You learn how to use a bag, a pen, or your environment to create space.
- Corporate Fitness: We mix high-energy drills with team-building exercises that get employees moving and shaking off stress.
- Awareness Programs: Essential for schools and residential societies, covering anti-bullying, 'Good Touch vs. Bad Touch,' and situational awareness.
Why It Matters
I have seen how a few hours of training can change someone’s body language. At events like the Max Life Insurance Run, I saw hundreds of people realize that defending yourself is not as complicated as the movies make it look. It is about mindset, discipline, and basic motor skills. If you are a company, a school, or a group looking to empower your people with real tools for safety, stop talking about it. Let’s get to work.
Maafai
I founded MAAFAI because I believe self-defence is a basic human right, not a luxury. I take the combat skills I teach in my academy and simplify them so that anyone—from CEOs to school students—can use them to protect themselves and stand tall. It is my zimmedari (duty) to spread this.
