Stop Me if You can !!

On 24th Feb 2016, a man tries hard to sleep at his home in posh Vasant Kunj area but for the loud music his next door neighbour is playing. He decides to walk up to him to tell him to 'stop' the loud noise as it was already past midnight.This leads to some heart burn and altercation & the man returns back to his home.
After about 30 minutes the man playing loud music knocks at the door of the complainant along with his friends to settle the score.The group of hoodlums start pounding the guy & finally draw out a gun & fire 2 shots in his abdomen to lay him to rest forever.
Well, such a trivial issue which ended so gory and inhuman! This is the reality & shutting our eyes to incidents like this wont help, we must prepare so that we are not next!
Witnesses said that the accused would hold such loud noise parties very often & it is evident that none in the past objected to it which would have definitely made the accused think that it was ok.
Now the question arises as to what to do in a situation like this :
1.Inform the local police of a loud music / noise if it continues beyond 10:00 pm.
2.If the police fails to respond or you feel that you could handle it yourself then walk up & gently ask them to lower the sound & keep it to themselves.
3. Carry a small tool of safety like a baton , knife or tactical torch which can not be seen with you.
4. If you are confronted then strike the closest person in his vitals & move out in open or where there are people raising an alarm simultaneously.
5. When a gun is drawn, the best solution to the problem is to run away zig zag but for that you should follows point no. 4.
6. Lastly 'if a gun can touch you then you can touch it too' meaning, there are ways to defend but it needs awareness & practice.
Till next time, stay safe & be a hard target !

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...
