💬 Because Your Safety Should Never Be a Question

Every woman has faced a moment when her heart raced walking alone at night…

A moment of uncertainty while travelling…

Or that uneasy feeling in a parking lot, lift, or deserted street.

But imagine this instead —

You walk with calm confidence.


You know how to read danger before it reaches you.


And you have the skill to defend yourself — not with fear, but with control and strength.

That transformation is what the Women’s Self Defence Course by Arvind Khaire & CTS Self Defence delivers.

Mumbai, India – Women’s safety and empowerment took center stage recently in Wadala as Arvind Khaire, Martial arts black belt and founder of the CTS Self Defence System, conducted a hands-on women’s self defence workshop designed for real-world situations. The event highlighted practical techniques to protect women from everyday threats and enhance confidence in public spaces.

“The time has come for women to be equipped with self defence techniques that actually work in everyday scenarios,” says Arvind Khaire, founder of CTS Self Defence System.

CTS Self Defence System: Designed for Real-Life Threats
The CTS (Combat Tactical Self Defence) System focuses on fast, forceful, and practical defensive actions. It emphasizes awareness, tactical withdrawal, and quick neutralization of threats, helping women react efficiently in confined or unpredictable environments. The system moves beyond traditional martial arts by teaching skills that are immediately applicable in streets, public transport, and homes.

Workshop Highlights

  • Practical self-defence demonstrations using everyday objects.

  • Techniques to handle multiple attackers and escape unsafe situations.

  • Focus on confidence-building and situational awareness.

  • Tailored exercises suitable for women of all fitness levels.

Why CTS Self Defence System Works
Unlike conventional martial arts classes that focus on forms and rituals, CTS Self Defence is pragmatic, scenario-driven, and tailored for urban India. Arvind Khaire ensures that participants not only learn techniques but also understand how to apply them under stress, making them safer and more confident in real life.
