Serious Injury ? Give up OR Create Something Huge?

Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph began training under the tutelage of Sir Vicky Kapoor, since 2004 which was when Krav Maga Self Defence (India) was first introduced in India.

Also having become immobile due to his chest fracture, Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph personal recovery was made possible due to his fiance Sharon & Krystal, his would-be-daughters and family friends Mahesh & Vijay who took care of him in his hours of need.

The resources gained from his web design business and various loans provided for the equipment which he would need to start the chapter in Bangalore. Within no time, Franklin Joseph Krav Maga Self Defense Academy , Bangalore became a reality and was officially added to the Krav Maga India family.
