Dojo means a training center or school of martial arts, where different forms of martial arts are taught for self-defense. From this post, it is being speculated that Rahul is going to take some initiative for self-defense training soon. Rahul wrote – Jiu-Jitsu is a way to stay fit
During Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, when we were traveling thousands of kilometers, there was a routine of Jiu-Jitsu practice every evening in our camp. It was a simple way to stay fit. But it soon turned into a community activity. In the city where we stayed, people involved in the journey and young martial arts students of those cities used to join us. Our aim was to tell these youth the beauty of this gentle art. It is a combination of meditation, jiu-jitsu, aikido and non-violent techniques. We wanted them to have gentleness instead of violence, which will help them build a more compassionate and safe society. On this National Sports Day, I want to share my experience with all of you, hopefully some of you will be inspired to practice the gentle art. India Dojo Yatra is coming soon.
