Post Delhi gang rape, Many Indian girls gaining confidence by learning Kung Fu
by Guest Tue Feb 12, 2013 2:15 pm
LUDHIANA: Post the Delhi gang-rape incident, self-defence has become the crying need of the hour. The city-based instructors of various martial art have witnessed a boost in the numbers of women and young girls enrolling for a course.
While many working women, parents and colleges are now taking self-defence seriously, including basic learning courses in the schedule, some others are going for full-time programmes to gain expertise in martial art.
For Ravneet Kaur, 22, who resides on Dhandra Road, her frequent travels alone were the reason why she chose to learn a martial art for self-defence. "I joined classes to learn martial art last month as I travel a lot and mostly alone. I can feel the confidence building though I have just picked up the basics so far," she says.
"I have realized after getting enrolled in the self-defence course that I can use even a safety pin as a weapon when need be. I was not confident I would be able to hold myself together in a situations where I am attacked upon," says Avneet, a resident of Model Town. Founder of Wushu (Kung-fu) Association of Ludhiana Pradeep Yogi agrees the number of female students who want to learn martial arts have increased, "But, it is not a child' play that can be learned in a day or a week," he says.
"About 60 girls are learning kung-fu under our association. I find it strange when people say learning basics of the art would help them defend themselves. A kick or a punch will be capable to injure the opponent only when the person is under continuous training," he says.The kung-fu master adds that a well-trained girl can defend herself against two men with ease and with a weapon, she can force at least six to seven men to leave their ground or surrender.
'Instills confidence among girls' Ludhiana: Like the rest of the country, the recent happenings have turned the women and girls in the city safety conscious. In an effort to ensure they can fight back an adverse situation or a surprise attack, more and more of the fairer sex are turning up at martial art studios in the city.
Aditi Singh, 23, a student residing in Model Town, says, it is not worth taking risks when training in self-defence builds some reassurance among girls and instills a confidence in them. "There is nothing to lose here. But, if you ever face a situation where you have to save yourself, you would be grateful you learned martial art," she adds. Rather than waiting for an incident that shakes them to the need of being equipped with self defence, the girls should realize the worth of training in a martial art, says Sanjeev Jain, a member of International Taekwondo Federation. "Women should be proactive when it comes to their safety and train in a martial art with the same enthusiasm as they show when learning an activity of their choice," he adds.
