But as the classes progressed, I slowly started overcoming my weaknesses. I hope that, with time, I will become mentally stronger and more courageous. For me, this has been one of the biggest challenges of my life. Along with building my mental strength, the self-defense training is also making me physically stronger and more capable day by day. Everyone at this academy—Arunava Da, Arun Da, Shuddhanya, Urvi, and all the others—has been extremely helpful, kind, friendly, and supportive. Above all, I am deeply grateful to Akash Sir. At this point in my life, he is nothing short of a blessing to me. Everything he teaches has opened a completely new path for me, helping me grow both physically and mentally. In my eyes, he is truly the best. Thank you, Sir, for guiding me, motivating me, and helping me become a better version of myself. 🙏 "SHIELD" Best self defence training academy in Howrah...

Pehle Maine socha k, kya main ek class mein kuch sikh paungi, phir Aakash sir ne mujhe self defence ke crash course k baarein mein bataya, jisme kum time mein kuch important techniques, awareness knowledge aur street survival sikha ja sakta hai. Mere papa ne v mujhe bahot support kiya, aur unhe v ye training bahot pasand aayi. Main bas yehi kehna chahti hoon k sabhi ladkiyon ko self defence sikhna chahiye, kyunki aajke samay mein self protection sabhi ko aana chahiye. Aakash Sir ka sikhane ka tarika mujhe bahot acha laga, unhone saare steps ekdum details mein samjhaya. Thank you Aakash Sir, mera confidence badhane k liye. Ab mujhe pehle se zyada confident mehsoos ho raha hai 🙏 Shield Self Defence, howrah ka best Self Defence academy hai. Thank you Aakash Sir 🙏 (Translated by Google) I took a self-defense crash course with Sir, which was great. At first, I wondered if I could learn anything in one class. Then, Sir told me about a self-defense crash course, which teaches important techniques, awareness, and street survival in a short amount of time. My dad was also very supportive and really enjoyed the training. I just want to say that all girls should learn self-defense because everyone should know self-protection these days. I really enjoyed Aakash Sir's teaching method; he explained all the steps in great detail. Thank you, Aakash Sir, for boosting my confidence. Now I feel more confident than before. 🙏 Shield Self Defence is the best self-defense academy in Howrah. Thank you, Aakash Sir.

But I cannot be with her all the time and the growing crime rate in India is a matter of concern. That is why I decided to enroll her in Shield self defense classes and it has been one of the best decisions I have made. In just a short time I have noticed significant improvement in my child's confidence, awareness and discipline. The classes are practical, engaging, and focused on real life situations rather than just techniques. It's reassuring as a parent to know that my child is learning skills that could truly make a difference in real life situations. I would highly recommend every girl child parent to enroll their girls in Shield self defense classes, it's one of the best self defense classes in Howrah.

As a female, I personally feel that Safety must not be taken for granted. We all need to learn and must have the basic knowledge and the most important thing is awareness, prevention without getting it to physical level. Our presence of mind is more important. It's upto us whether we want to be a hard target or an easy prey for the attackers out there. Every female from pan India, not only West Bengal, must visit this Self Defence Training Academy and feel the real difference that this training can provide.

To conclude, I must say that this is the best self defence training academy in Howrah. Best of Luck Regards

Read moreRead lessI’ve been training at this self-defense institute for a few weeks now, and I couldn't be more impressed. This isn't just about learning standard martial arts; it’s practical, real-world training focused on situational awareness, de-escalation, and handling high-pressure scenarios in any environment. ​The instructor is incredible—he’s firm and strong in his methods, yet consistently polite, inclusive, and free of any discrimination. He goes beyond physical moves to incorporate meditation and psychological training, which has been truly motivating and helpful for my lifestyle. While I think the fees are slightly higher, but the quality of instruction and the unique focus on life skills make it worth every penny. If you are an adult looking for a serious, effective, and supportive place to train, I highly recommend this institute. Best Self Defence Training in Howrah.

Read moreRead less⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Self-Defence Training Experience! I had an amazing experience training with Sir Akash. He is an exceptional teacher—highly skilled, patient, motivating, and genuinely dedicated to helping every student build confidence and practical self-defence skills. This was one of the most valuable learning experiences I’ve had. The sessions were engaging, well-structured, and focused on techniques that can be used in real-life situations. I left feeling stronger, more confident, and better prepared to protect myself and others if ever needed. I strongly believe that self-defence should be a mandatory skill for everyone, especially for women and girls in India. In my opinion, learning self-defence is even more important than activities like dance or singing, because it teaches you how to stay safe and respond effectively in dangerous situations. Every woman should have the confidence and ability to protect herself. At the same time, these classes are equally beneficial for men, helping everyone develop discipline, awareness, and mental strength. Thank you, Sir Akash, for such an inspiring and empowering training session. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to become stronger, safer, and more confident. Everyone should learn self-defence—it is a life skill that can truly make a difference. 💪🔥🥋
