This is a Guest post by Gowrav Shenoy ( @gshny) who was one of the Hosts for our #Bangalore Power To Women Corporate Self Defense Workshop with Psychological Women Empowerment on Warrior Leadership, Stress Resilience and Conflict Management Wellness Training. It was conducted by ‘Dr. Safety’ Franklin Joseph, women safety empowerment specialist and Krav Maga Israeli Military Self Defense Chief Instructor.
I recently came into a post promoting the opportunity for women nationwide to participate in a self-defense course organized by Justice for Women, a nonprofit. Since we are friends, I decided to help the organizer in any way I could. I was asked to co-host the workshop today in Bangalore with Nabeel on behalf of Justice for Women. Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph, CEO of Power To Women Corporate Self Defense Workshop with Psychological Women Empowerment on Warrior Leadership, Stress Resilience and Conflict Management Wellness Training and Chief Instructor of the Franklin Joseph Krav Maga Self Defense Academy in Bengaluru, led the program. These are a few memories about what happened at the workshop.
Most attacks on women are not planned out in advance. Being predators, they are constantly searching for prey to attack. For them, appearance, dress, or height are all meaningless; body language is everything. If you are alert, there is a 78% chance that you won’t be attacked. As Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph made clear to us, anything can be dangerous, including cow dung and race vehicles.
“What if your luck turns against you and you end up in the 22%?” is another question you may have. In the event of an attack, you still have two choices, according to Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph: you can decide to become the victim or the survivor. The first thing we do determines whether or not we survive to see another day. When someone approaches you, try to keep talking and maintain eye contact. When you experience anxiety, you give in to fear and turn into its victim. What then is the process of becoming a survivor?
Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph maintains that proper use of your head and body are more important for self-defense than physical characteristics like strength or height. He explained a few very basic methods that take advantage of the many laws of physics to do maximum damage to the attacker with the least amount of movements. He explained the pressure points on the human body and which ones to use in an attack. But what he suggested was just a precautionary measure until you could plan your escape. Fighting should only be done as a last resort, according to Guruji Franklin Joseph, since it is ineffective. The more power an assailant applies to you, the greater the likelihood that he would break his own bones, according to the technique he taught everyone today.
Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph provided guidance on what to do if someone tries to choke you, take your hands, or even put a knife to your neck. The most important lesson is to be vigilant, talk non-stop, keep your hands free to defend yourself, move fast if someone tries to grab you, and examine your surroundings for an escape route. During the same session, they were kind enough to give us some pretty great presentations.
He told us that 92% of crimes against women are committed by someone they know. About 45 percent of it is related to domestic violence. Guruji Franklin Joseph, a Safety Specialist, came to the conclusion that women need to speak up, show that they can defend themselves, and refuse to keep quiet. The Indian Institute of Strategic Threat-Intelligence Analysis and Combat Tactical Science‘s CEO, Guruji Franklin Joseph, is keen to hold Power To Women Corporate Self Defense Workshop with Psychological Women Empowerment on Warrior Leadership, Stress Resilience and Conflict Management Wellness Training more regularly. We ought to invite our friends, family, and coworkers when these events are organized once more, in my opinion.
