Chennai, Dec.2 (ANI): Police personnel and allied paramilitary forces are being trained in special martial arts techniques here, intended to equip them on arresting criminals and restraining more persons who may block them.

“We are giving special training to our Tamil Nadu commandos. Already, we are giving training to the NSG Black Cats. Our main instructors in Delhi they are teaching them in self defence techniques. We are teaching the personnel from CRPF, Assam Rifles, Indo-Pakistan border police and Border Security Force,” said Karate Thiagarajan, Vice President, Commonwealth Karate Federation.

Under this special training being offered under the guidance of Kyoshi Jamal Maesra, an ace martial arts instructor coached in Germany, the uniformed personnel are learning latest Kubodo methods.

Maesra, stated to be one of the best international martial arts masters with experience of over 50 years, is assisted by Sensai Monika.

This workshop is an extended part of an international Kubudo seminar that was held under the aegis of the All India Kubudo Federation.

You can teach karate and do something on street but then it is a very long way. All they need is simple self-defence course,” said Kyoshi Jamal Maesra, ace German trained Kubodo instructor.
