About

We see self-defence as more than just throwing a punch. For us, it's about finding your own strength and learning how to handle yourself when things get real. Our sessions are totally hands-on - you’ll actually use what you learn, not just watch and hope for the best.

Who Can Join

• We work with all kinds of folks - single participants, big groups, even full institutions.
• Women’s self-defence classes are a big deal here. We make sure the space feels supportive, and we’ve run special camps just for women, like with the Bengaluru City Women Police.
• Got a group at college or work? We set up group self-defense training that fits your crowd.

What We Cover

• Basics first: stances, balance, drills - all that to get your body used to moving right.
• Real, practical self-defence skills: strikes, blocks, holds, and takedowns that work in real-life attack scenarios.
• You’ll get to practice with partners, not just hit air.

How We Train

• Demos from both men and women instructors. No confusion, you see it up close.
• You try, we watch - and we’ll jump in to fix your form if something’s off.
• Our place is safe. Mats everywhere, good gear, so you can focus on learning, not worrying.

Just ask our past participants - “ellam vishayamum alagaa engalukku solli kuduthaanga... romba romba nalla enjoy pannom” (they taught us everything beautifully… we enjoyed it a lot).
