The primary objective of the newspaper article was to demonstrate the basic scientific components of Krav Maga Self Defense (Bengaluru) training, which even a little schoolgirl could learn. The man posing as the opponent was Guruji Franklin Joseph, a man at least three or four times older, bigger, and stronger than the schoolgirl in the picture, who was his student. It also shows women defending themselves against a larger, more powerful adversary.
There should be no barriers standing in a woman’s way while she pursues her objectives. But in order for her to succeed in a society where men rule, she will need more than just bravery. Krav Maga, an Israeli Defense Forces method of military self-defense, was thus developed. It combines elements of many other martial arts, with a focus more on technique and agility than strength. For this series, we met with an expert to teach you self-defense tactics.
People tuck pepper spray or knives into the backpacks they carry. The umbrella or the key is a more practical object to have in your hands for instantaneous and effective usage as “weapons.”

After the initial push, start by stabilizing yourself and grasp the hand that is choking you.
Step 2 ~
Raise the same hand as the assailants so that your ears and biceps come into contact. You should have your forearm parallel to the floor.

In this manner, you counter his arm strength with the strength of your core, which consists of your thigh, back, and stomach muscles.
Step 4 ~
He gives way under your strain, releasing his hold on your neck. Additionally, it causes him enough pain to become paralyzed for a brief period of time, allowing you to flee or ask for assistance.

According to Franklin Joseph, a tool is only useful when the person holding it understands when to use it. He illustrates in the image how, in the wrong hands, even a key may become lethal. He also endorses the humble umbrella because it can appear threatening on its bearer.
The Umbrella ~
If you notice him coming toward you in a threatening manner, extend the umbrella in the direction of his soft target—your throat. In order to add energy, it must be swift and precise while twisting your body.
Make sure you are forming an imaginary 8 or X when you strike the assailant with your umbrella if you wish to hit them. It’s challenging for him to grasp your hands because of his unpredictable behavior.
Use the umbrella as a baton if the opponent is approaching, gripping it with both hands at either end. Drive the central section deep into the assailant’s neck.

Take matters into your own hands

Tighten your fist and raise your wrist. This will indicate to your assailant that you are not someone who will give up easily.
Step 2 ~
To help stabilize your upper body, make a triangle with your other hand and grab your own wrist.

Utilize the strength in your lower body to twist, lift, and move the leg 90 degrees in the direction of the attacker’s thumb, all the while maintaining the triangle. In this manner, your larger muscles — your back, stomach, and thighs — create enough force to break free of his hold.
Step 4 ~
Once you’ve released the hold, turn your palm toward the person who attacked you, shielding your upper body and getting ready to fight back. Take a quick look around and get out of there.
