Mumbai, India – In an age where women’s safety remains a vital concern, safety expert Arvind Khaire, founder of the CTS (Self Defence System), continues to inspire women to transform their fear into strength. A philosophy he has taught for decades — first featured in The Free Press Journal on August 26, 2002 — still defines his mission today: empowering women with practical, real-world self-defence skills.

Turning Fear into Strength

As highlighted in The Free Press Journal, Arvind Khaire urged women not to be victims of fear but to convert it into power through self-defence training. His approach emphasizes awareness, mental readiness, and the ability to act decisively during emergencies.

“Fear is natural — but training converts fear into focus, and focus into power,” says Arvind Khaire, Founder & Chief Instructor, CTS Self Defence System. “Self-defence is not about aggression, it’s about survival, awareness, and smart responses.”

CTS Self Defence: Practical Training for Real-Life Situations

The Combat Tactical Self Defence (CTS) System, developed by Arvind Khaire, is based on efficient, no-nonsense techniques derived from real-world encounters. Designed for women of all ages, CTS focuses on:

• Empowerment through awareness – teaching participants to recognize and avoid danger.

• Realistic defence drills – responding effectively to grabs, harassment, or sudden attacks.

• Confidence building – transforming hesitation into calm, controlled action.

• Adaptability – using everyday objects for protection in public or private spaces.

A Continuing Legacy of Empowerment

Since that early 2000s coverage, Arvind Khaire has expanded CTS into one of India’s leading self-defence initiatives, training over 30,000 women and 600+ instructors nationwide. His team continues to work with schools, corporates, and community groups across Mumbai and Maharashtra, spreading the message that preparedness is the first step to empowerment.
