MARTIAL ARTS for girls in Parivaar Bengal
We have introduced Martial Arts (Karate, kick boxing & Self-Defence Techniques) for the girls at Parivaar Sarada Teertha, our Girls’ residential institution in Bengal. It is being conducted by experts from Shivaji Gaanguly’s Academy (shivajigangulyyacademy.com), a premier academy in Kolkata for training in martial arts. There are 1000 resident girls at this campus.
Trainers come every Saturday and Sundays. The girls who have been selected are above 10 years of age (we have children from age 4 to 21 on this campus). The intent is to train them and make them ready for age-specific tournaments and competitions in the state (and then nationally). There are also various levels of cerifications which they will attain to – like being presented with particular Martial Art ‘Belt’.
We hope that our girls will bring accolades in this space too like they have brought in Basketball. At the same time they shall be acquiring self-defence techniques which too are of no less importance.
