Mumbai, March 8 : On the occasion of Women's Day, actress Samikssha Batnagar has talked about how empowering women about self-defence is important.
“Self-defence begins with awareness,” said Samikssha, adding that “being mindful of one's surroundings and recognising potential threats. This awareness enables individuals to anticipate and avoid dangerous situations whenever possible. Additionally, being mentally prepared to defend oneself instills confidence and assertiveness, qualities that can deter potential attackers.”
Samikssha said: “Learning physical self-defence techniques equips individuals with the ability to protect themselves if a threatening situation escalates. These techniques include strikes, blocks, joint locks, and grappling maneuvers designed to incapacitate an attacker and create an opportunity to escape safely.”
“Proper training under the guidance of experienced instructors ensures that individuals develop the necessary skills and muscle memory to execute these techniques effectively," she added.
