Its been 2 years since I became a Krav Maga Self Defense (Bengaluru, India) Practitioners and when I look back what a wonderful fruitful journey it has been for me as an individual. Initially I was attracted towards the statement said by Grand Master Imi Sde-Or “…. So that one may walk in peace.”. Yes this was the one reason I started training in Krav Maga Self Defense Bangalore. I value peace, but to have peace we need to prepare for war. Weak cannot find peace for that you have to be strong mentally and physically. Need to find the balance. Krav Maga Self Defense (Bengaluru, India) is helping me in that quest for peace.
About my Sifu Franklin Joseph
Your life speaks louder than any words I can describe. In-spite of accidents that nearly crippled you bounced back harder and has conquered everything that is thrown at you. Looking at you we get inspiration to keep visiting the dojo every week. Your guidance and words of wisdom are enlightening. They keep us focused on positive approaches to a problem. I do stray off sometimes but every visit to the dojo and I get reminded every time and I am slowly focusing back on the right path again. Your straight on the face talk about the harsh realities of life keep us sharp and self aware. I am happy about my decision to make you my Teachers. Please keep guiding.
One of the main aspects that I like about Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph training is his analysis on the scenarios how a particular sequence of actions can be used. His motivational talk and sharing of real life experiences also has helped us in mapping what we learn in class to the outside world. His approach to imparting the knowledge is as a guide and a mentor. All these makes be want to keep visiting the dojo every Sunday morning. I am happy doing it. Now its become a way of life for me after 2 years of training under Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph.
With deep respect from the heart, God bless,
Your student
Excerpt from Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph
Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph is a Israeli certified Senior Civilian Instructor of Krav Maga Self Defense Bangalore, an Israeli Elite Military Self Defense 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 practised in real life scenario based training.:
Nyjil, to be honest I, under-estimated your spirit. I remember the first day when you came for class, it was tough training that day and I think you fell sick also. But, today, I am amazed to see the progress in combat you have made. It would not been possible without the your extra determination, dedication, sweat, pain and hard work you put in your training. Whenever, we are taking the roll call, I see most of the people would have left, you would be there still sparring with Kunga or Swanand and you will test and polish your techniques. Even though, we all are quite hungry at that time, I always love to watch you practice and learn from you. You have been as usual, honest and straight forth in your options and feedback about our training, good or bad, a true testimonial to your personality. As we talked about last time, we both need to work on our arms strength, and we will use the sledge hammers to help us with this issue. We all have our mini-battles to fight in our lives, yet, we all come together for three hours every Saturday and Sunday, and kind of forget that battles, step into warrior shoes and fight an other battle with our fears and insecurities. You have shown me, that we can win these battles. Always going to be proud to call you as a friend and a comrade. God Bless. — Franklin Joseph
