Students call me Anna, and I make sure nobody leaves my workshops with only theory. Everything I teach is tested in real fights and works under pressure. ### Our Approach - My workshops use Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. These are what my fighters use when the stakes are high. - No textbook kata or "movie stunts" - just practical martial arts for safety. I focus on skills that help you stay safe, not just look good. ### Who Can Join - School and college students: I run large group programs like RAKSHANE (Protection), especially for self-defense for women workshops. - Corporate teams: Our corporate self-defense training is all about building confidence and keeping your team secure. - Families and individuals: Men, women, and kids - everyone’s welcome at our Vidyaranyapura gym. You can join group self-defense classes or go for one-on-one sessions if you want more focus. ### What You’ll Learn - Proper punching, kicking, and striking with knees and elbows. - How to escape grabs, holds, and what to do if things go to the ground. - Conditioning drills to build strength and stamina so you don’t freeze when it matters. ### Why Us With us, it’s not about being perfect.
