Arvind Mills, Bengaluru Power To Women Corporate Self Defense Workshop We (Guru-ji Franklin Joseph & me Krystal Joseph) conducted this Power To Women Corporate Self Defense Workshop for the women factory workers of Arvind Mills in Bangalore. Talking in Kannada (Karnataka’s native language) has always been a challenge. I can speak Kannada well enough for general communication, but grammatically, I am not as fluent. So, when we had to do the Power To Women Corporate Self Defense workshop purely in Kannada, I was caught in ambivalence. As my father was born and brought up in Delhi, the job of conducting the workshop purely in Kannada fell on my shoulders. I was ecstatic because I was entitled to be the lead speaker in the Power To Women Corporate Self Defense workshop; yet at the same time, I was not very confident about the dialect and grammar of Kannada. So, the whole Read More

Balance between big sister & teacher in iTeachiPower.in
Need Base India Rainbow Home, Bengaluru iTeachiPower.in Girl Safety Empowerment & Military Girl Self Defense Education Workshop Teaching young girls is always a challenge as well as a learning experience. Kids get distracted easily and it becomes a fun challenge to keep their eyes on you as well as make them understand what you are teaching. I got a chance to work on this skill in Need Base India Rainbow Home, Bengaluru. I started the session with a short introduction about myself followed by a story. I told them the story of my first pushup and how hard it was for me in the beginning and my gradual improvement to doing 40 pushups. My father, Guru-ji Franklin Joseph told me to do a pushup as a demonstration of what I was talking about. One of the reasons why I think it is important to demonstrate me doing a push up Read More
My first solo iTeachiPower.in workshop with girls
Baale Mane, Gopalapura iTeachiPower.in – Girl Safety Empowerment & Girl Self Defense Wellness Education Workshop It is important to start somewhere. I started my journey as a solo instructor/mentor with iTeachiPower.in Girl Safety Empowerment & Self Defense Education through an online workshop with the Baale Mane, a non-profit organisation in Gopalapura. It was my first solo workshop because my dad Mr. Franklin Joseph was in Bengaluru taking his Krav Maga Israeli Military Self Defense classes. Despite taking many Krav Maga Israeli Military Self Defense classes in the past, I was a little nervous starting out, since this was the first time I was the teacher and mentor for a group of teens and kids. My syllabus and my years of training told me what I needed to teach. But at the beginning, I was a bit concerned that the girls might not enjoy my training. Despite this, I drew strength from Read More

“Be confident & tough” Krystal Joseph
On 30 October, 2013, I was doing Krav Maga training with my father Franklin Joseph who is a teacher in Krav Maga Israeli Self Defense. I was doing ‘Hand Release’ tactics with my father where he acted like a bad person holding my hand on the street and I am supposed to release the hand and run away. He was holding my hand very tightly so it pained a lot. It was getting harder and harder for me to release my hand repeatedly as I had to release it 30 times. So during practice and after the class, my hands pained a lot and they turned red as a tomato. I felt like crying also. After the training, I put ice packs on my hand to recover from the redness and the pain. After 20 minutes, I checked my hand and I was happy to see my hands recovering. It Read More
