Martial arts vital for self-defence, says Commissioner of Police
The Commissioner of Police Ramesh Banoth, said here on Sunday that martial arts should be part of the curriculum as it was vital for self-defence. He was speaking after inaugurating ‘Karate for Self-Defence’ organised by Mysuru Karate Association as part of World Karate Day 2024.
The Commissioner said though there was an uptick in the number of people learning martial arts, the numbers were low compared to its popularity in south-east Asian countries.
Mr. Ramesh said it was crucial for girls to learn self-defence too. “Apart from ensuring a healthy body and physical fitness, it also paves the way for mental strength. Martial arts help in shoring up confidence level as well,” he added.
The Commissioner also viewed the demonstration by karate students and expressed his appreciation of their interest in martial arts.
