Here is a summary of the event:

The Women's Self-Defense class was conducted to equip female students with valuable skills that enhance their personal safety and well-being. Mr. Umesh Babu N, a seasoned trainer from Zen Academy, Davangere, led an engaging practical session, focusing on self-defense techniques and Martial Arts. During the practical session, Mr. Umesh Babu N conducted an interactive and hands-on workshop, demonstrating essential self-defense techniques that included an open hand strike, a 360 or outside defense maneuver,a kick to the groin, and effective strategies to counter an attack from the ground. These techniques were meticulously explained and practiced, providing students with a diverse set of skills to enhance their personal safety.

The inclusion of Martial Arts in these maneuvers not only offered a holistic approach to self-defense but also allowed participants to develop a well-rounded set of physical and mental skills. These techniques are designed to empower female students, enabling them to defend themselves effectively in various situations. The emphasis goes beyond physicality, fostering self-confidence and a heightened sense of security. Dr.Mouneshachari S, Professor and Head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering(CS&E), graced the event as the presiding officer. His presence not only added a sense of authority but also underscored the department's commitment to equipping its students with practical and valuable life skills. The coordination of the event was skillfully overseen by Prof. H S Saraswathi from the Department of CS&E. Her efforts ensured the smooth execution of the workshop, creating a positive and engaging learning environment where participants could actively learn and practice these self-defense techniques. This comprehensive approach to women's self-defense not only addressed various potential threats but also empowered the participants with the knowledge and confidence to navigate and overcome challenging situations effectively. The success of the workshop lies in its ability to provide practical skills that extend beyond the theoretical, contributing to the holistic development and safety of the female students and faculties of JIT, Davangere.
