Self defence has become a necessity in today's crime filled world even for a five year old child to eighty years old woman. With this in mind, Podar World School, Sherkhi was the first school in Vadodara to train the students from class I to IX in self defence for 4 days. Physical self-defense is the use of physical force to counter an immediate threat of violence. Such force can be either armed or unarmed. A combination of martial arts styles and techniques are customised into self defense techniques.
Blocking technique - upper block, lower block and down block- were taught to defend against attacks from an unexpected corner. They are called inside blocking techniques. Comb technique, pen/pencil technique, stick technique, chop technique, upper and middle thrust technique and escape technique were a few of many techniques students learned. The escape technique using pin, dust, key rings etc can be used even by a 3 years old defender to escape from an unexpected dangerous situation created by a miscreant.
The training has boosted the confidence level of the students and staff. Now Podar World School students know how to deal an unexpected situation safely and manage themselves. The training was conducted by experts from the field of self defence. The training was attended by teachers too.
