Bangalore: The city is seeing an increase in violent crimes against women; the recent wave of killings that have occurred at home alone is one example. It is now vital to practice self defense in addition to intensive policing and home security. With this in mind, a number of institutions in the city have started offering self-defense courses that are especially designed to meet the needs of women who want to be safe. The goal of these programs is to increase women’s awareness of their surroundings and potential threats. Attack victims and self-defense instructors say that the biggest error women make is believing that “it cannot happen to me.”
“These programs alter this mindset and increase women’s awareness of potential risks. The emphasis is on teaching women basic, doable skills that enable them to defend themselves, rather than intricate, acrobatic routines, according to Manasi Mohan of one of the city’s top self-defense training facilities. Many businesses have found favor with these sessions, which are more similar to workshops, and are encouraging their female employees to enroll in them. Asthithva is a five-year-old institute that hosts ‘Give It To Them’ (GIIT) courses. Ashwin Mohan, a city-based kickboxing and martial arts expert, teaches these four-hour lessons. “We’ve conducted 950 classes this year, and in each class we train 30-35 women.” stated Manasi Mohan.
Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph, Chief Instructor, founded the Franklin Joseph Krav Maga Self Defense Academy in Bengaluru explains that their class, which lasts three hours and is specifically designed for ladies working in corporate settings, “focuses on knowing who the attacker is, why he is attacking and what his game-plan is.” Several large corporations, such as Cisco, are among his clientele and other institutions have conducted numerous corporate self defense workshops on Krav Maga Self Defense as well as Psychological Empowerment Wellness Training. While the regular weekend lessons at Franklin Joseph Krav Maga Self Defense Academy in Bengaluru involve hard training, the Corporate self Defense workshops (PowerToWomen.in) teach pupils fundamental Krav Maga Israeli Military Self-Defence methods.
According to Jagruti, a trainee there. Additionally, some institutions offer specialized training on how to protect oneself in confined spaces like cars or while wearing sarees or other tight clothing. In addition to teaching students self-defense techniques against attackers, these institutes also include smart situation avoidance training in their curriculum.
SAFETY FIRST
- Women who live alone are considered soft targets, so do not publicize the fact that you live alone.
- If you are being followed, do not lead the follower to your home unless someone else can handle the problem.
- A fistfight pits power against strength, and since men are stronger than women, the odds are stacked against you.
- Your fingers in his eyes, neck, or crotch would be examples of strength-to-weakness.
- Keep penknives, pepper spray, and chili powder on hand. Deodorants are also effective distractions.
- Consider every item to be a weapon. Throw the object at the attacker and utilize the extra second to strike if you are unable to use it to hit him.
- Don’t dress restrictively until there’s no reason to fear for your safety. If not, dress in a way that maximizes your range of motion.
- There is no such thing as fair combat. Make every effort to safeguard oneself.
