Rahul wrote- Jiu-Jitsu is a way to stay fit During the Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra when we were traveling thousands of kilometers, our camp had a jiu-jitsu practice routine every evening. It was an easy way to keep fit. But it soon turned into a community activity. Every city we stayed in was attended by participants of the Yatra and young martial arts students from those cities. Our aim was to convey the beauty of this gentle art to these youngsters. Meditation is a combination of jiu-jitsu, aikido and non-violence techniques. We want them to adopt gentleness instead of violence, which can help them build a more compassionate and safe society. On this National Sports Day I would like to share my experience with you all, hopefully some of you will be inspired to practice the gentle art. India Dojo Tour coming soon.
