Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:28

Times of India Newspaper They Are Taking Self-Defence Lessons To Fight Attackers Sinchana B A Bangalore: The number of aggressive crimes against women in the city is on the rise, a case in point being the spate of home-alone murders.

With this view, several institutes in the city have begun self-defence classes specially tailored to suit the safety needs of women. These programmes focus on making women more alert and aware of their surroundings and impending danger.

Tehelka Magazine :: The Tel Aviv Tango

Saturday, April 5, 2008 16:25

Tehelka Magazine April 2nd, 2008 The Israeli Defence Forces have a gift for the world. Sanjeev Bery takes a closer look at the spread of Krav Maga martial arts in India Israeli's Arms sales may capture the headlines, but they aren’t the nation’s only export to India. In south Delhi’s upscale Saket neighborhood, a small but growing number of residents are learning Krav Maga, the hand-to-hand combat system of the Israeli Defence Forces. A big man with a gruff demeanor, Vicky Kapoor is the one responsible for bringing Krav Maga to India. He describes the martial art in clipped phrases: “Combat fighting — a system which is quick — easily retained.” Kapoor himself came to Krav Maga after decades of experience in karate, judo, and other martial arts. “What I saw was that Krav Maga is the most practical self-defence system,” he says.

Why Krav Maga??

Tuesday, March 11, 2008 16:15

Krav Maga Practitioner : Anoop Ramakrishnan March 11th, 2008 Learning KM has been one of the major decisions that I have taken in life and I can safely say that, it has been the best decision of all. One may ask, is a military based martial art relevant to a common man?? The answer is a big YES. How?? I shall tell you that. With a lot of untoward incidents happening all around us, the issue of safety has become paramount. Everyday we come across a few incidents that have resulted in loss to property or even worse, loss to life. A lot of those could have been avoided/minimized, with the knowledge of self-defense. That is where KM comes in handy, in real scenarios (more than any other martial art).

LiveMint.com :: Welcome to Reflex City

Saturday, February 23, 2008 14:07

LiveMint Newspaper, Bangalore February 23rd, 2008 Why would an anti-Nazi combat technique be relevant to our times? The answer, in the Garden City, is Krav Maga. Make no mistake. Traditional martial arts techniques don’t prepare you for the real world. Krav maga—the Israeli hand-to-hand combat technique made famous by Hollywood actors Jennifer Lopez and Angelina Jolie and, more recently, by Matt Damon in The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)—does. When you see Damon battle armed and unarmed attackers with lightning-fast hand movements, you see the most advanced form of krav maga in action.Now, we Bangaloreans can aspire to be Jason Bourne too.
