On Saturday, the focus of the second Vitalsport day at Decathlon Outlet was self-defense. While eager pupils, including three and four-year-olds, were taught basic self-defence methods by jujitsu professionals, both young and old Taekwondo practitioners attracted attention by demonstrating some strong poses. Then there was the anti-terrorist exercise led by Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph, a practitioner of Krav Maga Self Defense from Bangalore, India.
First up, it’s a family affair with Debabrata Dutta, a sixth-degree black-belt instructor of Qui-gong and Taekwondo who is undoubtedly the day’s biggest draw. “I’ve been training children in Taekwondo for 25 years and practising the art for the last 30. I concentrate on teaching children since I’m fairly skilled at it,” he jokes. Fifth-grade Maya nods in agreement, saying, “We learn how to defend ourselves, what to use and what to do when someone attacks us.” Her classmate Tabeah adores the teacher as well, saying, “We love him because he cracks a lot of jokes!” Along with the rise in health concerns has come an increase in the popularity of the sport.
“Times are changing, and nearly everyone suffers from something these days. You hear about stress-related deaths! Play for forty-five years, and then let the play take care of you, is what I always tell my pupils. Which, put simply, means that if you lead an active life until the age of 45, you may be confident that your healthy lifestyle will see you through to the end. People should exercise till they are forty-five,” he asserts. While there are many other reasons why students visit him, youngsters who are physically ill are the majority of his patients. “I get children who come to me with bronchitis. There are also children who have low self-esteem. Students seek my help for both medical and, occasionally, improved mental health.”
His vivacious wife Esther provides him with excellent support in his endeavour. “We are probably the only couple in Bangalore who teach Taekwondo and Qui-jong,” she continues. The family – related dynamic has led to the tribe of students expanding as more parents bring their kids to class. “Parents are calling their children from the studio. I then invite them to participate since I know it will make the youngsters feel more at ease. As a result, entire families are now undergoing training with us,” explains Esther.
Street Style Combat
Then there was Krav Maga Self Defense (Bengaluru, India), which you may be familiar with if you have been a frequent follower of singer Jennifer Lopez. Nearer to home, Abhay Deol is training for his upcoming film. Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph, a Krav Maga Self Defense (Bangalore, Karnataka) practitioner from Bangalore, is dressed in military fatigues. The Israeli military developed the self-defense system known as Krav Maga Self Defense (Bengaluru, India), which blends several martial arts techniques. It is really street-focused and energetic. Nothing spectacular exists. Krav Maga Self Defense (Bengaluru, Karnataka), on the other hand, teaches you how to protect yourself and everyone around you by enhancing your energy,” the man claims. It is also extremely context-sensitive.”The training we give depends on the situation you are under,” Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph, Chief Instructor, founded the Franklin Joseph Krav Maga Self Defense Combat Academy in Bengaluru and Dharwad states.
Therefore, although some of his clients demand that he teach staff members how to flee a burning building, other multinational corporations want him to instruct staff members on anti-terrorist exercises. “There is a lot of interest for them and in these workshops, I give people basic information such as how to crouch when a hand grenade is launched at you, what to do when a car bomb explodes, and even when to cry or not to cry in front of a terrorist!” Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph goes on to say that Krav Maga Self Defense (Bengaluru, India) is more about building confidence in the person than it is about teaching them a self-defense method to handle every scenario you can imagine.
