Testimonials

We have worked with plenty of amazing people

“Defence mate (formerly Judo Pal) courses are top-notch. The material is superb and easy to follow. The instructors are intellectual and highly educated. Varun was instrumental in helping me understand what self- defence really is. The psychology aspect was very unique and turned out to be an eye-opener for me. Would recommend all friends to go for Judo Pals training sessions.”

“The self-defence seminar was truly an eye-opener. It taught me that self-defence is not just about physically protecting yourself; it's also about being mentally aware of everything happening around you! Great session!”

Lakshita Srivastava
Student, Hindu college.

“I got a fresh perspective about self defence. Defence Mate trainers are clearly different from the rest of the trainers. I am now more confident, understand my fears better and feel stronger. As someone who has always been concerned about personal safety, this training opened my eyes to a whole new world of knowledge and skills.”

“It has been a life altering moment after training with Varun Sir. He has not only motivated, and inspired me but also gave me the confidence to see what I was really capable of. In every way possible, real definition of a GURU!”

“When I attended the seminar with Aashima, she very beautifully explained how intuitive we women are, we are blessed with sixth sense and how simple it is to tap into the wisdom of our bodies. I got to know that self defence is about awareness first, standing up for yourselves and giving yourself priority. It was a wonderful session and a life long learning experience.”

“One of the best sessions i've attended so far! It was extremely extremely important and useful for a woman living in Delhi. Ashima conducted the session really well, she really helped us learn how self defense isn't necessarily physical and awareness is equally useful. We were so grateful to have had her as a part of our campaign.”
