Krav Maga practitioner :: Nallathambi Perumal K

Cisco Systems, Bangalore

My name is Nallathambi Perumal K, fondly called as Nalla by friends. I am 30 year old, family person, working for Cisco Systems, Bangalore.

When I first heard the two words “Krav Maga”, i was obviously unaware of the meaning. The word “Maga” here has no relation with the kannada slang which means son/boy. My first class was a great experience, i remember that i was having lots of apprehensions about it.

The very fact that i am a peace loving person and have never got into a physical fight so far, added to my apprehensions. This is where ’s explanation helped wherein he explained about the various crimes which are happening involving victims which are techies like us. He clearly articulated that KM fighters need to behave like a common man and not pickup a fight unless it is life threatening. He also warned that we should not show off our heroics and try to become good Samaritans in hostile situations.

In the first class we learnt basic techniques and exercises to increase our stamina level. We were asked to punch, kick the punching bag as long as we can. To our astonishment we couldnt last more than 20 seconds !!!

I was really shocked as i use to consider myself to be decently fit as i take stairs everytime instead of lifts and was pretty proud about my stamina levels. Things improved drastically as we put on more hours of training. We were about to clock more than a minute of aggressive attacks on the punching bag from our 3rd class onwards.

In KM (short of Krav Maga), its all about tackling strength of opponent with technique and agility. Its about knowing the weak points of human body and how to inflict maximum damage to opponent with minimum energy spent in doing so.

carefully delivers a bearable amount of pain to us to experience the nature of attack and understand the lethal blows that a attacker can deliver. This is enough to bring your assumptions of fighting out of the reel life (as seen in movies) to real life.

I am gaining more confidence as each class progresses.

I am very grateful to my employer Cisco Systems; Ashish Puri and the rest of Gym committee of cisco to arrange for all the logistics support for conducting KM classes at our facility.

Last but not the least, special thanks to , our KM instructor, for coming all the way to our facility to teach us.
