Review > Anirudh Shastry : Franklin Joseph sir, Your Krav Maga classes are the best thing I ever did Article re-written & Media re-edited for SEO by Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph The Franklin Joseph Krav Maga Self Defence Combat Academy in Bengaluru and Dharwad was created by Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph, a Social Entrepreneur, who also holds the position of Chief Instructor and conducts Corporate Self Defence & CSR School College Girls Workshop sessions along with Specialised Krav Maga Private Fast-Track programs with syllabus mixing Krav Maga Self Defence with Psychological skills like like Analytical Strategy, Combat Science, Crime Psychology etc.. In addition, Guruji Franklin Joseph who is also known as 'Dr. Safety' serves as the CEO of the Indian Institute of Strategic Threat Intelligence Analysis and Combat Tactical Science. Anirudh Shastry Franklin Joseph Krav Maga Self Defence Combat Academy (Bengaluru, India) Warrior / Practitioner I hope you are fine, and that the class is going well. I also hope you remember me even though it's been about 8 months since I left class and moved out of bangalore. I just wanted to write to you about my experience here with regards to martial arts and my physical training. Also, I apologise for sending it to 2 of your email ID's, but I wasn't sure which one was currently in use. Sir, you had made such an impression on me, and I had loved the Krav Maga Self Defence (India) class so much in Bangalore, that I was determined to continue it as soon as I came here. Unfortunately, there were a few problems. I had to have several medical checkups as part of the visa process, and to get my student identity, etc. And during each one, the doctor said that my blood pressure was a little high. Then, I was told that to join any class for sporting activities, I have to provide a certificate of no-objection from my doctor. My doctor refused. She said that due to my high BP, there is a small chance of my heart failing due to violent activity. I told her that I had been doing Krav Maga Self Defence (Bengaluru, India) for nearly one years in India, but she still refused. She said I could do any activity except for the combat classes such as Krav Maga Self Defence (Bangalore, Karnataka) or MMA. So I tried to exercise and eat properly for a few months and tried again recently, but my BP is still too high. Therefore I finally decided that the only way I can do Krav Maga Self Defence (Bangalore, Karnataka) is when I move back to India, and while I'm here, I might as well learn something new. I have recently joined kendo and archery classes. The kendo classes are not as physically exhausting as the Krav Maga Self Defence (Bengaluru, India) classes, but it's still a good workout, requires good arm and leg muscles, and improves reaction time. I had my first class yesterday, and there were only senior apart from me. It reminded me a lot of my first Krav Maga Self Defence (India) class in bangalore. And at the end of the class, the Sensei said that I had done extremely well. He guessed that either I had done kendo before, or I had done some other martial art. So clearly, even though I have not done Krav Maga Self Defence (Bengaluru, India) in 8 months, it's effects are still not gone. To the CEO of the Indian Institute of Strategic Threat Intelligence Analysis and Combat Tactical Science - Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph, I just wanted to thank you for that. Your Krav Maga Self Defence (Karnataka) class I attended in bangalore is the best thing I ever did, and I hope to come back and continue in your class one day. I tried to practice by myself here but as you know, it is impossible to do it without a partner to attack. I still see all the photos that you put up on facebook. I am happy to see that at least Swanand, Kunga and Venky are still attending regularly. Please say hi to everyone on my behalf. Excerpt from Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph Well, Anirudh Shastry, when you were leaving for Paris, I was a bit sad as I was seeing lot of improvements in your techniques and stamina. And on top of that I was surprised to hear you had medical problems as you were going well in class. Anyway, sometimes body is deceptive yet you showed mind is stronger over body limitations. Looking forward to train with you again. --- Franklin Joseph Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph is a Israeli certified Senior Civilian Instructor of Krav Maga Self Defence Bangalore, an Israeli Elite Military Self Defence Combat system Mixed Martial Arts with no-rules, battle-tested, fast-paced, reflex-action based tactics dedicated to no-holds-barred combat for the purpose of street survival practiced in real life scenario based training.
