SELF-DEFENSE TRAINING
Zindgi Smile Foundation (ZSF) conducts Self-Defense Training to build confidence, situational awareness and practical safety for women and adolescent girls. Sessions are delivered with certified coaches from the Pencak Silat Sports Association of Delhi, with a strong emphasis on hands-on practice and safety-first habits.
A compact 4-day intensive takes participants from awareness and stance to breakaway techniques, voice control and safe exit strategy—ending with a brief assessment and certificate of completion.
