Speaking on the importance of self-defence, Kru Hemavi Aye, Head Coach, Strike Fit Academy, Nagaland, said self-defense is not all about punching and kicking or fighting back but the real essence of self-defense begins with self-discipline, awareness, courage, and to be bold to speak up.
Emphasising on girl power, Hemavi who is Nagaland State Muaythai Coach & Former National Coach, Indian Muaythai Team said many women become victims not because they are weak, but because they stay silent.
