Self-defence skills give women something no one can take away: confidence backed by capability. Our Women’s Self-Defence Program applies Varmakalai principles to real, everyday situations — and it is one of the most popular courses at JADMAA.
Built for Real Situations
The program focuses on practical scenarios: awareness, escapes from common grabs, using leverage instead of strength, and creating the opportunity to get to safety. Techniques are chosen so they work regardless of size or strength.
More Than Technique
- Personal safety awareness: reading situations early and trusting your instincts.
- Confidence: carrying yourself with assurance changes how you move through the world.
- Fitness: every class doubles as a full-body workout — strength, stamina, and flexibility.
- Community: training alongside other girls, students, professionals, and homemakers in a supportive environment.
Who Joins This Program?
College students, working professionals, homemakers, and school girls (12+). No prior fitness or martial arts experience is needed — the 6-month curriculum starts from zero and progresses step by step.
