Assault is an immense issue. Especially in India. Having trained Kung Fu for 6 years, I set a personal mission to teach 1100+ students vital self-defense techniques in December 2022.


After getting to know that my close friends and family themselves have had unsettling experiences on the street, I published โ€œKung Fu – Everyone’s Invited: 8 Smart Self-Defence Techniques You Must Knowโ€. I am extremely grateful that the book has already helped hundreds of people. However, I believe that in-person teaching is more effective and impactful. Thatโ€™s why I launched the โ€œShakti Roadshowโ€, a project that aims to boost the confidence and power of young students in India through Kung Fu.

In addition, with the support of my network, I raised more than $3650 for โ€œPrathamโ€, a charity that supports education for poor students in India.

Everyone deserves the chance to learn self-defense, no matter their upbringing or conditions. For this reason, the last two schools I decided to teach at were founded/ supported by the charity “Jagriti“.

Jagriti provides opportunities for the education of students from slum areas, for free, ensuring that they are provided with the best quality clothing, textbooks, food etc. 99% of the students in the photos above, from the last two schools, live in slum areas. Following the training sessions, I visited the slums where they live, to learn more about how they are raised and understand how much impact “Jagriti” is creating for them.
