SELF DEFENSE WORKSHOP As said by Rorion Gracie, “Self-defense is not just a set of techniques; it's a state of mind, and it
begins with the belief that you are worth defending.”
Keeping this in mind, a self defence workshop was conducted by Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed
to be University), IMED, Pune on 5th March, 2020. The workshop was conducted from 4:30 pm
and continued till 5:30 pm at BVDU volleyball ground. We had two guest trainers amongst us
Mr. Sachin Mahajan and Mr. Madhav Jori. They have an experience of more than 20 years in the
same field.
It was a very beneficial and interesting workshop where students and teachers of IMED actively
participated. The workshop was attended by about 50 girls and 10 boys. They were taught some
basic moves of martial arts and judo karate such as some punches, chops and kicks. They also
taught us some defending tactics. The girls definitely got to learn a lot from the workshop. It also
taught them that they need not be dependent on anybody for their protection, they themselves are
enough for that.
Self-defence not only allows us to tangibly defend ourselves against physical attacks, it also
sparks various benefits to us in everyday life. Important values and principles can be learned,
such as hard work, dedication, and perseverance, as well as the importance of maintaining
personal relationships.
It was a great workshop which gave lots of learning to the girls to protect themselves from the
demons in our country.
