- India's Research-Driven Self Defence System
About CTS Self Defence
Most people fail in real danger not due to lack of strength or courage — but because fear disrupts decision-making.
CTS was designed to function under real-world conditions, not controlled training environments.

Reality-Based Survival System
- Understanding CTS
CTS Self Defence is a reality-based survival system focused on lawful escape and personal safety, not performance, domination, or sport.
The system emerged from a consistent pattern observed in real incidents:
Instead of adding techniques, CTS focused on understanding:
How criminals initiate attacks
How people psychologically respond under threat
Why learned skills collapse under stress
Even trained individuals often freeze, panic, or apply ineffective responses during actual attacks.
Personal Safety Response Chain
Detect → Avoid → De-escalate → Escape → Report
Core Risk Factors CTS Is Built Around
Criminal Behaviour
Target selection patterns and attack initiation methods
Fear Response
Adrenaline effects and stress-induced cognitive changes
Ambush Patterns
Surprise attack dynamics in real public environments
Legal Framework
Self defence boundaries within Indian law
Structurally Different
- The CTS Framework
CTS operates under a strict system framework. Every technique, drill, and instructor must pass all five principles.
01
Indian Threat Reality
Designed specifically for Indian public spaces, transport systems, workplaces, and residential environments — without imported assumptions.
02
Stress Validation
If a response fails under fear or adrenaline, it is removed — regardless of how effective it appears in practice.
03
Simplicity Under Pressure
Gross-motor, instinctive actions that work across age groups and fitness levels.
04
Personal Safety Responsibility
Legal awareness and proportional response are built into every program.
05
Instructor Accountability
Teaching authority is earned through evaluation — not purchased through certificates.

- The CTS Story
Born From Real Incidents, Built for Real Survival
CTS was born from the real-world experiences of its founder, Master Arvind Khaire, who discovered:
Real attacks are not like martial arts.
They are chaotic, fast, aggressive and emotionally overwhelming.
People—even skilled fighters—freeze under threat.
Criminals don't follow rules or patterns.
Beyond Techniques
CTS trains determinants, not memorisation.
Criminal mindset recognition
Surprise reaction conditioning
Fear and adrenaline management
Verbal boundary setting
Scenario-based decision making
Post-incident awareness
More than techniques. Real preparedness.
