It's about having the power to protect yourself, feeling confident, and being ready for the unexpected. I want people to walk tall, not scared. ### What Happens in My Workshops - We keep it real. Everything I teach is about practical self-defense skills you can actually use. - You’ll practice effective, simple moves that work under pressure - nothing fancy, just what gets the job done. - My workshops always include some real-world threat response drills, so you know how to react if something ever happens. - I mix in a bit of fitness and a lot of situational awareness, because you can’t fight what you don’t see coming. - Confidence is a big deal here. Most folks leave standing a little straighter than when they came in. ### Who Can Join? - Anyone, really. I run group self-defense sessions for kids (as young as 4), adults, schools, companies, even housing societies. - For companies, I offer corporate safety training tailored for your team at your office. - Schools and colleges call me for student batches, including special sessions for girls and NSS volunteers. ### Where We Train - I travel all over Mumbai and suburbs for workshops - your place or mine. - You can also book at my dojos in Malad, Borivali, Virar, and a few more spots. I learned from the best, and I teach with heart. Safety is your right, not a luxury. ## Highlights Browse through Amit Khatri's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/sensei_amitkhatri/self-defense-workshops/featured) - [Video: This is what dedication looks like in our dojo.
