School /Campus Violence

What causes killings on campus / school?
It has been found during investigations that the killers are "very self-centered, very self-centric, volatile youngsters who derive sadistic pleasure from savage vengeance
they wreak on one another.
The mental world of these young killers is "all about I , Me & Myslef. They're
frustrated, angry, in some pain, not getting everything they want, they feel
like victims, hence have no concern for others -- they don't think about
others.
Dorothy Lewis, professor of psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine, told a PBS Frontline
documentary that pathological aggressiveness is rooted in abuse and pain. "Probably the
most powerful generator of aggression in living beings is pain... Animals that have been
tortured and children who have been severely and repeatedly abused often become
extremely aggressive. Animals and humans being raised in the company of violent adults
is associated with the development of aggressive behavior patterns."
"when you don't have the problem-solving means of talking, negotiating, when you can't
get what you want." – You turn aggressive.
The responsibility lies with us as parents, we need to focus on upbringing our children in more placid, caring and sensitive ambience , where it is more about love, symapthy and mental toughness. Our children ape what we do, if at all we have to fight lets learn to fight for a cause .........a larger , just cause & not just for self, me & I.

Till then .......Stay Safe !!

Fair Sex is not Fair

 The euphemism uses this adage to denote women as some one who is petite , lovable , needs to be handled with caress or simply said , a softer version of Gods creation . Though it is absolutely fine to extend respect and courtesy but it is dogmatic to  have this mindset exclusively for women. In the last 11 years I have had a great experience of having come across over more than 50,000 women and girls who I had the pleasure of intervening with in the domain of empowerment and self defence. Believe you me , I found most of them very high both on mental and physical robustness with utter disregard to the heresy that haunts them. Whether it was the posh training hall of a big 4 corporate or an open ground in sweltering heat where scores of rural girls were rearing to learn to be able to stand up in the face of an adversary, the 'josh' was nowhere lacking. Not only the enthusiasm , they have always displayed higher conviction towards learning and bestowed highest level of respect t

Survival is Prime

'Safety Needs' to be addressed before you reach 'Self Actualization' Survival has been the oldest forte of human being. Since the evolution of mankind we have primarily been working around 'Survival' , fending off threats from wild animals , humans and natural catastrophe. History has enough evidence to prove that the first invention was 'Fire' which was primarily done to survive against wild animals , to keep warm and later to cook. Invention of tools and weapons evolved alongside where we used sticks , stones , bones & other hard objects to make equipment which could cut , hammer and much more. Well we are not dwelling upon the inventions which human beings made since their inception but that the basic skill set which has helped us stay safe and secure is 'survival'. The paradigm of 'Survival' has always been of prime significance. From stone and fire we have evolved to nukes and drones, our genre of being a food gath

Krav Maga in Israel

Shalom (Peace always!), Israel is the home to Krav Maga , in hebrew it stands for Contact Combat . This unique and effective fighting system's origin dates back to the 1940's when the holy land was fighting against its oppressors - Kapap, Haganah etc. The Israeli military developed this unique fighting form picking the best of the techniques from boxing, jui justsu, muay thai etc. My trip happened as part of the IKMF (International Krav Maga Federation-Imi ), which organised a Tour & Train session from 14th to 22nd May 09. The entire land smells of high voltage 'security' with gun totting soldiers (both men & women) with stylishly fitted uniforms & hair do's but thorough professionals to the core. The feel of the strict security systems can be sniffed right at the Tel Aviv Airport where waves of security personnel scan your entry into the Holy Land & ensure no mishap. We had proffessionals from the US, UK, Spain, Portugal, Germany, France & Indi
