Street Survival

Well the days are getting from bad to worst! Every other day we read about street brawls, quarrels, fights and even murders. Fortunately, those who make news are not part of our units or families but unfortunately it turns us oblivious to the facts.
Spending money & time on things we enjoy doing or providing us satisfaction is a good idea but we forget to invest some time to our safety & longevity. We have time for crazy office hours, movies, friends, even gymming for some but we forget to spend time on learning & internalising survival skills which can not be complimented for any thing else.
Your insurance policies or proximity to a politician or cop may not help you when you have a moron pointing a gun to your forehead while you drive down back from office or a family get -together. What will actually help you is to understand that a knife can injure from from 4 directions & a gun can only fire straight @ 500 to 800 ft per seconds. Simple awareness and sensitivity may help you avert a dangerous situation.
Do you know that if a knife is held against your neck & you just hold the assailants wrist & press the blade to your chest, he WILL NOT be able to cut you?? Similarly, it is not so tough to get out of an armed attacker pointing a gun at your head. If a gun can touch you then you too can touch it or TAKE IT!

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 ...

Covid19 and Virtual Learning

"The ones who will stay in the game will be those who survive." Its time that we endure the testing times and sustain to be able to bounce back. Times are tough, though it could have been prevented but... As a matter of the fact ,history has proven that we as human beings never learn from our mistakes and keep reinventing the wheel of destruction. Having said that it is imperative that we 'adapt and survive' , its NOW that we must carry our detailed analysis and introspection of what we do and more importantly how we do. I have come across a lot of so called professionals who have switched from one trade to another, nothing wrong in it . Then there were host of individuals turned entrepreneurs who got into ppe's probably with an intent to survive or if it may not sound rude make some money out of the situation. Expertise or no expertise , some just tried to ride the wave but every wave settles down sooner or later . People realized that dupattas , scarves , hankey...

Krav Maga : The Real Story

Krav Maga as a system of self defence has suddenly gained a lot of significance in India, couretsy media and those in the business. Well, nothing bad about it .....amrketing is good & is very much needed in every thing one does. This highly effective & practical system is slowly getting tarnised, read on .............. In the late 1980s, Krav Maga was also being taught to the Israeli public.Since almost everyone in that society serves in the military, most of the population had been exposed to it anyway.In fact, the name of the art became so common that it was used as loosely in Israel as the word “karate” is used in America. Variations sprang up everywhere.By the 1990s, everybody was claiming to be a Krav Maga master or a 10th degree black belt.Some of the original instructors of Krav Maga—men like Dennis Hanover —got so fed up with people claiming that their Krav Maga was the “true version taught to elite units” that they dropped the term Krav Maga from their vocabulary altog...
