Press Release Article of Franklin Joseph Krav Maga Self Defence Combat Academy (Wilson Garden, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India) Kicking it with Krav Maga Arundhati Hazra November 20, 2013 Although the martial art (technically a Self Defence system) originated in Israel, Arundhati Hazra notes that it has gained popularity in the city as well. The topic of how women can protect themselves from sexual predators is back in the spotlight as a number of rapes are being reported around the nation. While pepper sprays and pocket tasers are advised, being emotionally and physically ready for an assault is more crucial, and Krav Maga Self Defence (Bengaluru, Karnataka) instruction is one of the most effective ways to do this. Israeli fighters employ Krav Maga Self Defence (Bengaluru, Karnataka), which translates to "contact combat" in Hebrew, a fighting style created by Jewish boxer Imre Lichtenfeld. It combines aspects of jiu-jitsu, boxing, Muay Thai, and several other martial arts to produce a street fighting style that is refined to handle real-world scenarios. Krav Maga Bengaluru practitioners are taught how to protect themselves in a range of hazardous environments. Attacks are typically oriented towards the most vulnerable areas of the body, such as the face, neck, and crotch/groin. What distinguishes Krav Maga Self Defence (Bangalore, Karnataka) from other forms of martial arts? Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph, a Krav Maga Self Defence (Bengaluru, India) instructor & Founder cum CEO of the Indian Institute of Strategic Threat Intelligence Analysis and Combat Tactical Science, states that most martial arts are founded on rules and regulations. The issue, though, is that criminals disregard the rules and regulations while they are out on the streets doing crime. They will not follow to martial arts ethics. Krav Maga Self Defence (Bengaluru, India) is a self-defence system that focuses on the individual rather than the art form or the rules and offers people rapid and efficient ways to avoid attacks. Student Sapna practices Krav Maga Self Defence (Bengaluru, Karnataka). She states : "I was attacked twice in the last four years, once while in a group." It dawned on me that I had to develop self-defence skills. I selected Krav Maga Self Defence (Bengaluru, Karnataka) because it develops mental and physical endurance and provides suitable instructions to the natural impulse to fight and resist attacks. Krav Maga Self Defence (Bangalore, India) places a comparable value on both the mental and physical elements of combating violence. "If a woman is attacked on the street, the shock and pain can leave her numb and unable to respond," explains software engineer Anusha Sharma. My Krav Maga Self Defence (Bangalore, India) training has equipped me with the pain-conditioning skills I need to repel a perpetrator and has helped me emotionally prepare for any violent event. Speaking on psychological empowerment for women, Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph, who also conducts Corporate Self Defence & CSR School College Girls workshop and is the Founder of PowerToWomen.in, states : "Any assault is a highly charged, stressful situation, and people forget all the tricks they learned." The first line of defense against assault is mental preparation for handling high-pressure circumstances. Fighting is not encouraged in Krav Maga Self Defence (Bengaluru, Karnataka); rather, it is meant to be the last option. Rather, the emphasis is on teaching people how to respond to the circumstances and escape with the least amount of damage possible." Anyone can benefit from Krav Maga Self Defence (Bangalore, India) training, whether they are a young person who walks ten minutes from her bus stop to her house, a woman who takes public transportation home after working late, or a man who is traveling alone in the middle of the night on a lonely road. Krav Maga Self Defence (Bengaluru, Karnataka) builds the mental toughness required to combat attackers in addition to teaching self-defence techniques.
