Amrita Gupta finds out how one of the city’s self-defence coaches is training citizens to tackle the threat of terrorism.
A Cisco employee named Ashish Puri approaches surviving a terror assault with realism. Regular self-defense techniques won’t work against terrorists because they undermine the fundamental idea that the enemy will fear injury or death, the speaker claimed. “Now is clearly not the moment to take risks. Rather, we must exercise common sense and search for ways out, seize chances, and be prepared to act. “Like many other Bangaloreans, Puri has resorted to the Israeli combat tactics and self-defence method known as Krav Maga Self Defense (Bengaluru, Karnataka) in order to provide himself with the means to stay realistic. He stated that “unfortunately, problems aren’t just at the borders; they’re happening in our cities too, so civilians have to rally together.” He also suggested that big businesses give corporate workshops on surviving terror attacks important consideration. Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph also conducts corporate self defence workshops – PowerToWomen.in for men & women PAN India.
Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph and was the chairman of the International Krav Maga Federation Bangalore branch now he founded & CEO of Franklin Joseph Krav Maga Self Defense Combat Academy, Bengaluru, said, “We realised regular citizens need to be equipped against the very real threat of terrorism.” Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph has been training people how to defend themselves for the past five years. Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph is running a series of Basic Anti-Terror and Hostage Survival classes to get people ready for terrorist attacks, while the Delhi-based IKMF is in charge of training military Special Forces and law enforcement agencies.
“The problem is that people think never happen to us’,” he said. “Deaths remain statistics, and incidents in other cities remain news. However, why hold off on mobilizing until something happens?” People in the city are demanding less talk and more action in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, as analysis and dissection are coming in thick and fast every quarter and emails and SMS alerts are being circulated.

Additionally, it’s critical to develop mental toughness throughout difficult situations. We should band together rather than back down when there are groups trying to instill fear, the speaker stated.
Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph corporate or private workshops tries to get people ready so they can perform well under duress. The trainer explained that a person’s response in a crisis situation is either to freeze or panic. The program will open with an awareness presentation that includes an explanation of “terrorism’s tools” and a discussion of terrorists’ motivations. Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph explained, “We must first understand the problem in order to have a solution.” His next area of interest is advice on survival and rescue in various situations. Crowd control, negotiating strategies, and evacuation protocols will all be covered in this workshop. “These seem like common sense measures,” Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph continued, but in order to avoid “[being] tied up or at gunpoint, you won’t have a lot of options,” planning is important. Additionally, there will be presentations on things that individuals should keep in mind in case they become witnesses.
Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph highlighted that the modules warn against attempting to impose your own laws on others. “It would be stupidity to try to be a hero,” he stated. “The aim is to prepare people so they can become more helpful, not make situations worse with some kind of vigilante behaviour,” he stated. In addition to teaching people basic first aid and emergency care, “which can mean the difference between life and death,” Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph will also teach people techniques to ensure that as few injuries to themselves or others as possible. Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph will impart skills to individuals on how to prevent harm to themselves and others, including “how to fall, where to hide, what to do in case of a fire, a stampede, a hostage takeover, or an explosion,” as well as fundamental first aid and emergency care that “can mean the difference between life and death.”
According to Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph, practicing fire drills on a regular basis does not qualify someone as a firefighter. The purpose of the drill is to ensure that they will know what to do in the event of a fire and won’t panic. “People should never forget that terrorists are extremely skilled and unafraid to murder. It should be left to the armed forces to provoke them or attempt to disarm them.” The Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph who also is a CEO, Indian Institute of Strategic Threat Intelligence Analysis and Combat Tactical Science, Dharwad was clear that because events “aren’t going away,” citizens need to be proactive and understand how to handle them. In addition to providing guidelines for the worst-case situation, the course will cover how to be more vigilant when engaging in daily activities. “If there’s an unclaimed object, people should know to raise an alarm, and if something seems unusual they shouldn’t ignore it,” said Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph.
“While we cannot stop terrorist acts, we can prepare for them,” stated Anoop Ramakrishnan, one of the session attendees. “Ultimately, a prepared approach can bring down the number of casualties,” he stated.
