“No, never”, said Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph, Chief Instructor & Founder of Franklin Joseph Krav Maga Self Defence Combat Academy in Bengaluru and Dharwad, his eyes never leaving his Krav Maga Bengaluru practitioners fighting dirty on the terrace floor overlooking a picturesque graveyard in Wilson Garden (Now in Wilson Garden), “for I know I can do serious damage.

I would do it only as a last resort.” “Deadly!

Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph quickly demonstrated a skilful manoeuvre to victimise an eve teaser in a jiffy. All one has to do is to hold the fellow’s wrist, twist his arm, exert one’s full body weight inflicting pain on his helpless offending appendage to set the violator scampering away. Sounds simple but we have yet to take a class. What we saw was serious street fighting amongst the males.
Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph can make you love yourself, for he can teach you to tackle an armed six and a half foot man single handedly. Game? Four assailants attacking you on the floor as you fend their punching – bag blows with your kicks. Round and round you go like a turntable, elbows prancing above your face, shielding it from their padded sticks, with mock-real intentions to hurt you, they keep at it.

“Yes”.
