Helloo 🙂 @uncut merlin

I know of no good martial arts gyms in Yelahanka 😦

Here's a list of good ones in case you can travel far or ever shift your house 😅

1. Kia Kaha
2. Reign MMA - Kalyan Nagar
3. ICSA
4. The Dojo BLR (does jiu-jitsu)
5. Raw Combat Fitness India
6. T99

Btw, listing these 'cus some people travel from far off places to go to these schools 'cus they're supposed to be good 😶

Another option - you can go for boxing to the Cult Fit gym that is closest to you!

[uncut merlin]

Hey, thanks for recommending

But travelling all that far isn't in my mind rn, I've got holidays and i was looking to utilise it properly without sitting home

[umbral portal]

The only problem with this is that this is for fitness and not technique.

But you can always ask the coach to teach you properly because you care about not just fitness, but also boxing!

The trainers are always enthusiastic to teach proper technique to folks who are really into it!

[umbral portal]

Cool, then try Cult 🙂

[uncut merlin]

They have self defense related plans and everything?

And what's the affordability like? How much can i expect to spend?

[toxic wagon]

boxing, last i remember

there's a difference between self defence and martial arts

the latter is an art and a sport, some arts are more violent like muaythai and krav maga which can be used for fighting haha

I know a good taekwondo institute with reasonable fees, lmk if you're interested. Note that it's an art and a sport (primarily)

also for Cult, you can check their website for fees

[uncut merlin]

@toxic wagon Will do

So if I want to just be fit and be able to defend myself in case of any fight, what should I learn?

[toxic wagon]

Boxing or self defence itself

[uncut merlin]

Okay

[toxic wagon]

anyway the best way to win a fight is to not get into a fight, but if you can’t help it, knowing how to land a punch (and fast) + taking down a person using weak spots is the only important thing

[uncut merlin]

You're not wrong

But sometimes there are situations you might have to encounter a fight, in those times it's helpful

And also, learning self defense will improve my discipline which I suppose I could have a lot of improvement in.

[toxic wagon]

back and forth fighting is useless, a good self defence instructor will always emphasise efficiency and being able to incapacitate a person

Fighting someone? throw dirt in their eyes. Simple
No sight = lost fight
Once partly blinded, it’s easy to run away or do whatever you want to them
