on "Self-defense techniques"
A
lecture on "Self-defense techniques" was organized on
16th October 2010, where in Ms Jignyasa was invited as the chief
guest to create awareness about the importance of self-defense.
Appropriate self-defense techniques teach us how to size up a
situation and help us to decide what we can do. In general, people
think of self-defense as a karate kick to the groin or jab in
the eyes of an attacker. But self-defense actually means doing
everything possible to avoid fighting someone who threatens or
attacks you. With this aim the function was inaugurated in the
Patanjali Sabhagriha. Around 10 staff members. and 50 students
were present.
In the first session, Ms Jignyasa gave a brief introduction about
TARA (TATA RALLIS), the company she works for. Further she introduced
everyone to the term "Self defense". According to her
self defense means protecting oneself from physical, emotional
or mental problems. She also stressed on the 3 basic steps of
self defense, which are being aware, being confident and being
calm & cool person. Using verbal skills and other techniques.
Using physical techniques. Her advice to everyone to avoid a potential
attack before it happens was to trust one's instincts.
The second session of the function was organized in the Yoga area
near Patanjali Sabhagriha where Jignyasa madam demonstrated the
7 basic techniques of Self Defense. Thereafter students performed
all the different techniques under her guidance.
By the time session came to an end she also taught special techniques
for breaking an attacker's grasp and various other things that
one can do to break free.
