Summary: Specialist Franklin Joseph analyses real-world violence, including recent tragic knife attacks, to extract practical self-defence lessons. He emphasises pre-crime awareness, avoidance, and fast escape over traditional martial arts fighting techniques for professionals residing in Wilson Garden, Kengeri, and across Bengaluru.
Case Study 1: The Mohali Corporate Knife Attack
A woman working at a private company in Mohali, Punjab, was stabbed to death by her colleague, believed to be her ex-boyfriend. The tragedy occurred in the office after an argument over their relationship status. The accused, identified as Harvinder Mann, later attempted suicide by stabbing his own throat repeatedly.
The gruesome incident was captured on a CCTV camera installed in the office. The accused entered the office around 7:40 PM and stabbed the victim, Dimple, from behind while she was sitting at her desk and working. As she tried to run and save herself, the accused dragged her by the hair near the door and kept stabbing her.
Around four to five employees tried to stop him but were unsuccessful. The accused stabbed Dimple over 20 times. He then went inside the office and stabbed himself in the throat over 30 times.
Case Study 2: The Office Parking Ambush
A software engineer was walking to her car in a basement parking area when a man grabbed her bag strap and caused her to fall. He tried dragging her into a dark corner. She screamed, bit his hand, and kicked backwards. A security guard heard the commotion, and the attacker fled.
Case Study 3: The ATM Confrontation
A businessman was using an ATM late at night when two unarmed men demanded cash. He verbally complied while covertly hitting the emergency button, threw his wallet at one man’s face, shoved the other, and escaped shouting for help.
Case Study 4: Multi-Attacker Street Assault
A student enrolled in the Private Fast-Track for NDA, CDS, AFCAT was surrounded by three men. One asked for directions while grabbing his bag. The student instantly released the bag, shoved the man to create space, and sprinted away.
Case Study 5: Domestic Violence Spillover
A professional was confronted by her abusive husband at her office reception. Her colleague recognised the threat, stood between them, and called security while stating firm boundaries. Security removed the husband safely.
Why Franklin Joseph Krav Maga training / workshops are different from martial arts?
- Most Crime is a trap.
- Some crimes are planned.
- Some crimes will have weapons or multiple attackers.
- All crime do not care about fitness or stunts and will not give you time to recover the chaos.
- Group Training is more focus on prolonged fights which is not smart as weapons, multiple people and no time to recover or stop in street crime.
- Private Fast-Track is more focused on pre-crime prevention and avoidance and fast simple easy escape techniques before crime violence can escalate.
- We customise the Private Fast-Track for doctors, pilots, lawyers, women or IT engineers to address real professional risks. For this programme, the trial is held in Wilson Garden. Actual training happens either in your house, a room rented in a Majestic hotel where Specialist Franklin Joseph stays, or a costly fitness studio you can rent. In both the Majestic room and fitness studio options, the client pays the rental bill and travel expenses for Specialist Franklin Joseph.
Key Takeaways: What Real Violence Teaches
Before Incidents:
- Awareness in places like Wilson Garden or Kengeri prevents most street attacks.
- Varying your daily routines reduces the risk of planned ambushes.
- Support systems and buddy systems change outcomes entirely.
During Incidents:
- Property is never worth your life.
- Escape is victory. Survivors do not win prolonged fights; they escape or de-escalate.
- Simple instinctive actions work better than complex martial arts techniques under stress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you focus on escape rather than fighting back?
Because escape works and fighting often fails. Fighting multiple attackers or armed individuals is extremely risky. It is always better to escape around violence rather than fighting through it.
What if I cannot run? I am not fast or athletic.
Escape does not require Olympic sprinting speed. It requires commitment and moving towards safety. Moving while creating barriers and calling for help is highly effective.
Can women really defend themselves against larger male attackers?
Women’s self-defence is not about matching male strength. It is about targeting vulnerabilities, using leverage, screaming to attract help, and escaping before attackers can utilise their strength advantage.

Student Reviews
I recently enrolled my kids in the Krav Maga self defence training program with guruji Franklin Joseph and have been thoroughly impressed. Not only do my kids enjoy the program and look forward to attending each session, but I have also seen noticeable improvements in their physical abilities and overall fitness level.
It is essential that we all know how to defend ourselves. For professionals hard pressed for time, this has to be done in as short a duration as possible. Self defence always had interested me. When I went through the options I realised that Krav Maga is the simplest and most practical option for me as it goes straight to the point. The courses by Mr Frank are very practical and are oriented towards what we face in real life.
Franklin Sir's classes are the real deal. I know because I spent years trying out various martial arts. Krav Maga under Franklin Sir goes one step further with capsules for specific situations like dealing with an ATM robbery, a home burglary, etc. But more importantly, he trains you on mindsets.
