The Department of Langauge and culture, Telangana Government is conducting a workshop for the women to teach them self defence techniques by using the sticks or lathis.
It may be noted that men and women use sticks to fight in rural areas. In the same fashion, Dr Akula Sridhar who has done PHD in the usage of stick for the self-defence will conduct the workshop for women here at Ravindrabharathi.
The workshop will begin from 20th of this month. In Telugu, it is called as Karrasamu. The workshop is being held in two different areas and in two different groups.
The women interested in learning the art of self-defence with the sticks can attend the workshop here in Hyderabad. The Telangana Government is organising the workshop here.
The idea is to see that women can defend themselves at home or if they are outside by taking a stick from the nearby surroundings. Perhaps for the first time, the Telangana Government is organising workshops of this kind to teach the women on self-defence.
Usually, young ladies and students are sent to karate classes for self-defence. But with a stick, you can keep the enemy at a distance.
