Franklin Sir’s classes are the real deal. I know because I spent years trying out various martial arts. I wanted to feel like I could hold my own in a real-world fight situation. That didn’t come from Karate or Taekwondo. Krav Maga, in general, trains you to harness the best parts of all these traditions and apply them to combat situations. 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. Your own mindset as a warrior, and the mindset of criminals when they plan their attacks. He will teach you to push past your limits and summon that warrior when you are completely exhausted. Because guess what – that’s what a real fight demands (not like Jackie Chan or Tiger Shroff acrobatics). Franklin Sir, or ‘Guruji’ as we call him, is tough on his students. He took us to a training camp in Goa where we punched sand on the beach and looped all our arms together to face the incoming waves. In class, he had four other students pull my waist with a rope while I struggled to stay in place and keep hitting the punching bag. But he does this because he’s warm-hearted and genuinely cares for his students. And once you’ve earned his respect, there’s a lot of fun too, like a ‘villains’ event where we dressed up as Zombies and The Joker. Guruji’s classes aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. If you want to lose a few kilos, go sign up for kickboxing in your local gym. But if you want to walk the streets with confidence… if you want to feel safer for yourself and your family… and discover the hidden strength inside you… then you’ve found one of the best teachers in the world. I took years to find him and his teachings. He’s the real deal. Don’t miss this opportunity.

Learnt a lot from guruji.. amazing classes

Since I was a little girl, my parents always encouraged me to take part in some sort of self defense classes, but they never really excited me. Many years later I found Franklin Joseph Krav Maga Self Defense (Bengaluru, India) class and decided to join. In this class, we learned how to punch, kick, etc., but we were also taught how to use various tactics in different situations and what truly intrigued me is how our Teacher & Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph taught us about the psychology behind each tactic and also the psychology on how a criminals mind works and how we can use that to our advantage. My teacher always pushed me to be a better version of myself, and truly made me stronger both physically, and mentally I was never an athletic person, but when it came to Krav Maga, I found myself excited to attend the class every weekend.

Very good teaching, it’s my first month and my combat has improved a lot.

Great training for real life crime situations including techniques for offence as well.

Franklin Joseph has great knowledge about Krav Maga and self defense in general.

The mode of training here has a blend of physical as well as mental. With all practical reasons one should always assume that he/she may land up in chaotic situations even though unintentional.

And, that is what the training here prepares students for. Mental toughness, readiness to face unexpected and how to handle those are the key takeaways from each of the sessions here. I really enjoy training with fellow students with different age groups, including school going kids. And that keeps me even more motivated. The environment and the pace here enforces each of us to do even better in every subsequent session.

Just one comment about Guruji (Franklin Joseph Sir)… Believe it or not, it’s not easy to travel every weekend from Dharwad to Bengaluru, India’s for past more than 15 years consistently just with a passion to impart such trainings to people who have subscribed for this. Come, join us for few sessions and you may feel the difference.

Life-changing Krav Maga Experience with Franklin Joseph Guru Ji I had the incredible opportunity to learn Krav Maga from Franklin Joseph Guru Ji while I was in Bangalore, and I can confidently say that it was one of the best experiences of my life. Franklin Joseph’s unique approach to teaching seamlessly blends real-life challenges with Krav Maga tactics, providing not only self-defense skills but also fostering personal growth.

Under Franklin Joseph’s expert guidance, I learned to be functionally fit. He emphasised the importance of being prepared for any situation and ensured that his teachings would stay with me long after our sessions ended. Even years later, I find myself continuously applying the lessons I learned from Franklin Joseph Guru Ji in my day-to-day life. Although it has been a while since my last class with Franklin Joseph sir, his teachings remain etched in my mind, heart, and reflexes.

I am immensely grateful for the impact he has had on my life and cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking to learn Krav Maga or seeking a transformative experience. Do not hesitate to reach out to Franklin Joseph Guru Ji if you’re in Bangalore – it’s an investment in yourself that will pay off in countless ways.

Good training program. It was great getting my foot in the door. Looking forward to coming back for more.

I recently enrolled my kids in the Krav Maga self defence training program with guruji Franklin Joseph and have been thoroughly impressed with Guruji experience. Not only do my kids enjoy the program and look forward to attending each session, but I’ve also seen noticeable improvements in their physical abilities and overall fitness level.

The program is well-structured, with a variety of activities that keep my kids engaged and challenged. Guruji Franklin Joseph is well knowledgeable and supportive, and he works with everyone to ensure they’re making progress and achieving their goals.

I appreciate that the program not only focuses on physical fitness but also emphasises the importance of mental and emotional well-being. My kids have learned valuable skills such as mindfulness and self-discipline that will serve them well in all areas of their lives. Overall, I highly recommend the Krav Maga self defence training program under Guruji Franklin Joseph to any parent looking to help their children develop healthy habits and reach their full potential. It’s been a wonderful experience for our family.

Being able to defend oneself effectively while getting fit is the best gift one can have. Keep doing the amazing work you do Franklin Joseph sir.

It’s good, top quality training and very honest to students about cost and everything about Krav Maga. Gives no bs training, keeps it professional and serious at the same time.

Started my training with Franklin Joseph sir. He is an excellent teacher with real knowledge and experience. The classes are gripping and action -packed to awake the warrior within.

Self defence in today’s world is an absolute must for everyone. There is no excuse for not being able to take care of oneself and no better place to learn this than with Franklin Joseph.

I remember when I was working in bellary… way back in 2009.. I founded Franklin Joseph sir… teaching Krav Maga in Bengaluru, India….I came in contact with him… and started my training on every sundays… I used to travel every weekend to Bengaluru, India…but after super training session full of energy…… me and Franklin Joseph sir…. used to have lunch in restaurants….. then we go to different malls in Bengaluru, India….. as we have lot of time to catch our… trains….

sir… your training was fantastic…. I miss…. every class something new.. comes out… your training method are unique………. best thing I like is your attitude towards… training…… and everyone… whether he is fresher or old student… everyone feels same…..

We used to do basic attack and defence drills, power drills, chocking, bag work, locks, outdoor drills in the garden, stick, knife and gun training, ground fight, situational training, conditioning classes……..I remember my practise mates also… We used to enjoy a lot in training………

Sir, I hope…. I would get more chances to train under you…..I think I have been addicted to your training … but it’s good isn’t it… hahaha

Very effective training. Helpful in both ways physically and mentally. Frankly speaking training is worth the time, energy and Expenditure we are spending. Come here to develop the mindset of a warrior.

I have been training in Krav Maga for more than 10 years and these years were the best years of my life. Training in Krav Maga is perfect for fitness, self defence and many other things which help in this world a lot.

We get a lot of experience like we are actually in a crime situation. In this class we don’t only learn to fight but we also learn how to control our self and know exactly when to fight. We also get to go to bootcamps to places like jungles and other places with hardcore conditions. These trips help us get rough and tough and a lot more stronger than we are.

Thank you so much Franklin Joseph Guruji for making me the way I am today.

Positive : Communication, Professionalism, Quality, Value

I did this class for 6 months until I moved away from bangalore. I honestly miss these classes and Franklin Joseph sir. He is such a cool teacher! I had done kickboxing for a few months before Krav Maga and was disappointed because all I did was the same kicks and punches for 3 months and wasn’t learning anything.

But the Krav Maga class was amazing, everyday I was learning something new, either about a new technique, or about the human body, or how to handle different situations, or just getting a new perspective and outlook on your everyday life. It is very useful for women AND men. It not only improves your physical strength but also your mental strength and that is invaluable. It reinforces that all of us can always stand up to unfairness, regardless of where this is coming from. The teacher and all the students are very respectful and friendly.

I never ever felt uncomfortable, for being a girl or for being less fit than some others. The whole point to to get stronger! I highly recommend this class, so if you are reading this because you are unsure, don’t be, just try it.

Jai Hind! Franklin Joseph at Krav Maga is an awesome trainer. There is a drastic change in my son’s overall personality after being a part of this team.

It injects extreme confidence in an individual with a strong sense of self defense mechanism. Thank you and keep rocking with many more people in to the Academy !!

One of the easy and best self defense. Good for all age. All should learn at least some steps. Trust me , it helps!

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 Franklin Joseph are very practical and is oriented towards what we face in real life. I have liked it and learnt a lot.

Jai Hind

I would recommend this training to everyone out there to protect themselves and their families during any unpredictable situations. It also imparts discipline and helps in personality development.

Life changing experience. Best part is the combat science and building mental strength to deal with crime situations.

The best teacher in Krav Maga. Franklin Joseph Sir always explains the science, body structure and pain point to make an effective strike. The real life experience shared are invaluable lessons for life.

Highy recommend to join the class. A perfect combination of Mr Han and Master Shifu if you understand my reference. Thanks Sir. Jai Hind!

If you want to learn real self-defense then Guruji Franklin Joseph Krav Maga Self Defense (Bengaluru, India) Military Combat Academy is the best place in Bangalore. Guruji FrankLin Joseph and Mr. Swanand are passionate instructors, teaching their students skills that develop confidence & situation awareness, and that could potentially save their life.

The environment is very positive and the students and instructors support and encourage one another. There are no-nonsense tricks. You will be pushed out of your comfort zone to handle real life situations. I would strongly recommend this place to learn self-defense.

Jai Hind!

Great place to condition yourself mentally and physically to deal with the possible crime situations that can happen anytime.

The drills are great for fitness and flexibility and encourage a “never give up” attitude.

Overall emphasis on situational awareness and preemptively avoiding hazardous situations is an important skill to have.

Jai Hind !

Want to defend yourself or want to transform oneself as a warrior? Warrior doesn’t mean how it’s depicted in movie like trained to beat any or every!! It’s a journey to explore oneself like meditation or mindfulness, but in a tough way… You are in right place!

It is not easy, it’s a struggle and a constant learning. I’m 4 months old here, I feel I learnt so much at the same time its total void.

Guruji Franklin Joseph providing an opportunity to transform ourselves and fight for living – fight one’s – insecurities, comfort, pain, fears, stress and one’s own filthy wicked mind.

His teaching is different, not only teaches the technique but also the science, impact, pain and effects. Prepare you to face real life instances, to tackle situations on street – it’s all in our mind. This will have an impact on your personality!!

For a woman like me, this helped me to be vigilant about the situations and surroundings. Different capsule training helps you to self defend against different types of crimes. I got trained along with men, combat with men, this helped in breaking the comfort, build confidence, strength to deal with any kind of person. You get educated about the crimes etc and prepare you to be strong for the worst. Women need these trainings to come out of the comfort zones considering the crimes happening.

Sometimes in the training, you would be exhausted with the drills or motivated by the talk. Everyone has a fair amount of exposure towards “Bad”, but there is whole lot of different ways to be “BAD” he throws light on what is being “Bad” and how dark it is !! What is required to beat the Bad, u have to be KICKASS Strong !! mentally!!

This training would prepare you to a level, at least, one can face “Bad”, one’s mind is ready for it. You will feel good doing it, cry with pain, body will ache, your mind will shout to give up, but trust me you will end up loving this dynamic feel.

Pain will be your friend, chaos will be comfort well comfort is so annoying 😊 I wish I had this class daily.. Weekends, even I feel lazy, for after effects of 2 hrs class and to let my week’s stress/frustration out – I did not give up. This training helping me explore myself – one class I’ll be confident next day I’m a loser.

Guruji Franklin Joseph, keeps you motivated not being nice, hitting hard on your pain!! 😊It’s fun and painful at the same time. Don’t come with an expectation that u will be a warrior with 2-3 months, it’s a slow and steady process !!

THIS KNOWLEDGE DOES NOT TELL YOU TO FIGHT ON THE GROUND INSTEAD HELPS TO JUDGE THE SITUATION – HOW TO TACKLE IT, EVEN IT COULD BE WITH A TALK OR A HUG. Trained doesn’t mean you are ready to hit anyone, its situation judgement to react or respond – very important!

Guruji Franklin Joseph I wish for your long life and keep training people who seek this combat knowledge. Thank you for coming to Bangalore and teaching us “civilians” these techniques which are only meant for privileged Group of people.

Jai Hind !!

I believe if you have to learn self defence which works, this is the place to be.

The teaching is very practical and Guruji Franklin Joseph is an excellent guide in this regard.

Every tactic and move is explained in a scientific way and no matter how many times you approach Guruji Franklin Joseph, he is very keen on teaching the right way.

The training involves warm ups, power drills, tactics and sparring which all prepare you for self discipline, calmness, alertness and reacting to the uninvited stressful situation in a proper way. I have thoroughly enjoyed the classes so far. It surely makes a difference in your life.

Jai Hind !!!

This is an excellent place for learning Krav Maga self-defense. The classes are very diverse with different age groups so would fit anyone of any age.

Guruji Franklin Joseph is an excellent teacher with good heart and passionate about Krav Maga. He really knows his stuff! Directions are always clear and he explains each step with truck load of information in a very scientific way. He toughens you up and gets you used to real life situations as real life situations are simulated regularly.

All seniors and fellow students are very approachable like family and will help guide you when you may not be getting a move correct.

If you are looking for a self-defense class or a way to get fit and learn something new then this is the place to go to.

Jai Hind.

I have known Guruji Franklin Joseph for the past six months now and about to start my fourth month in training here . Guruji is very practical and tells you in the face on the first day itself that he is preparing you for the real life situation on the streets. Right from the warm up, power drills and the various tactics involved, he teaches you about the various science involved behind each and every thing.

Tactics can be learnt by anyone but along with the teaching of science involved and the hard core training that goes along with it, it will be imbibed in our muscle memory forever. Also after learning from a personal point of view, I can see a drastic change in how I look and decipher things now. I have become more self disciplined and calm simultaneously and know when and where to channelise my aggression. Also the sparring sessions after classes helps us in our own learning on what mistakes we can do while looking at others.

I would urge everyone out there who wants to learn self defence to please come and try learning from Guruji. Jai Hind.

Best place to learn n most importantly understanding the science behind every technique behind a move and best part is no prerequisite knowledge about any martial art Or any physical fitness. Perfect for a common man/women /any human to deal real life unexpected crime situation with proper knowledge.
