The mission to empower India has just shifted into high gear.

Under the visionary leadership of Grandmaster B.S. Handa (9th Dan Black Belt, 53 Years Experience), the Project 1 Lakh Mission has officially secured three massive partnerships in a single week. We are proud to announce that CGC Landran, CGC Mohali, and Quest Group of Institutions have all joined forces with us to make their campuses “Fearless.”

1. CGC Landran: The Green Signal for Student Welfare

Our journey reached a milestone today at CGC Landran. After a high-level meeting with Dr. Gagandeep Bhullar (Director, Students Welfare & Alumni Affairs), we received the official “Green Signal” to launch our specialized Self-Defense Seminars and Nunchaku Workshops.

Dr. Bhullar’s commitment to student safety aligns perfectly with our goal of training the youth in Situational Intelligence and the “3-Second Rule.”

2. CGC Mohali: Strengthening the Sports & Safety Bond

The momentum continued at CGC Mohali, where Mr. Satish K. Sarhadi (Senior Director of Sports) gave his enthusiastic approval for our project. With his deep background in sports leadership, Mr. Sarhadi recognizes that self-defense is not just about physical strength—it’s about the mental discipline and lightning-fast reflexes that our EMA (Explosive Martial Arts) system provides.

3. Quest Group of Institutions: Building a Secure Future

Completing this historic “Hat-Trick” of approvals, Dr. Harish Chander Mohindroo (Campus Director, Quest Group of Institutions) has officially invited the Project 1 Lakh Trust to train their students. Dr. Mohindroo’s vision for a holistic education includes the “Safety Sense” that every modern student needs to navigate the world confidently.

Why These Institutions Chose Project 1 Lakh

It’s not just about “learning to fight.” Grandmaster B.S. Handa’s curriculum is built on 53 years of mastery, focusing on:

• The 3-Second Rule: Decisive action when every millisecond counts.

• Applied Self-Defense: Practical techniques that work in street clothes, not just the gym.

• Nunchaku Mastery: Featuring our Nunchaku Queen, Rashi, to show that speed and skill have no gender or age limits.

What’s Next for the Students?

Students at these campuses will soon see our “Big Banners” and QR codes appearing across their grounds. By scanning these codes, they can:

1. Join the Project 1 Lakh WhatsApp Community.

2. Download our Free “Safety Sense” PDF Guide.

3. Access the Nunchaku Basic Actions course to start their journey from home.

A Message from Grandmaster B.S. Handa

“Our mission is to move safety from the ‘dojo’ to the ‘doorstep.’ With the support of these three prestigious institutions, we are now closer than ever to our goal of training 100,000 protectors. We thank Dr. Bhullar, Mr. Sarhadi, and Dr. Mohindroo for their trust and vision.”

Are you ready to join the mission? Whether you are a student, a parent, or a business leader, there is a place for you in Project 1 Lakh.

It is a difficult time to be a parent in the Tricity. Between digital screens, fast food, and academic stress, every parent asks: “How can I build my child’s body and mind?” While ordinary gyms offer a basic class, Extreme Martial Arts (EMA) offers a Legacy.

This March, families are moving to our elite headquarters at Sector 86 and our massive 3,000 sq. ft. facility at Legacy Martial Arts World (inside ProUltimate Gym, Sector 72, Mohali).

Here are the 3 reasons why EMA is the Tricity’s first choice for children:

1. 53 Years of ‘Safety Intelligence’

An ordinary gym teaches a child how to punch a bag. At EMA, we teach them how to think. Grandmaster B.S. Handa brings five decades of expertise directly to the curriculum at both our Sector 86 and Sector 72 centers.

• Our “3-Second Rule” is a game-changer for bully prevention.

• We don’t just teach kids how to fight; we teach them Safety Intelligence—how to avoid a fight before it starts.

2. A “Military-Grade” Break from Screens

Screens are the enemy of focus. The EMA centers are sacred spaces of discipline. Whether it is the Morning Playway (9:00 AM – 12:30 PM) or the Evening Activity Club (3:00 PM – 8:00 PM) led by Nancy, we provide a structured, screen-free environment.

• We build core strength and coordination that ordinary playways cannot match.

• We are fully inclusive, supporting children with ADHD, Anxiety, and Autism through a disciplined “Military Regime” at both locations.

3. Joining the EMA National Movement: Project 1 Lakh

At EMA, your child isn’t just a student; they are a Protector. By enrolling at our Sector 86 or Sector 72 facilities, they become part of our mission to train 100,000 citizens in Self Defense across India.

• Led by the power duo of Grandmaster Handa and Nancy, we are building a safer India.

• Every child at EMA learns to be a leader and a role model for their generation.

📍 Our EMA Locations:

• EMA Sector 86 (Legacy World): Our dedicated center for elite training and discipline.

• EMA Sector 72 (Legacy World): 3,000 sq. ft. of excellence inside ProUltimate Gym.

Securing the Future:

Securing the Future:

The Vision of a Safer Campus When we think of a university, we think of degrees, careers, and the future. But at Project 1 Lakh, we believe that the foundation of a great future is a Safe Present. Recently, Chandigarh University became the epicenter of a safety revolution as we conducted our “Safety Intelligence” masterclass for its vibrant student community.

Bridging the Gap Between Education and Security Following the visionary guidance of Brig. Brar Sir and the support of Prachy Mam, I brought 53 years of martial arts wisdom to the CU campus. The goal was simple yet profound: Safety is being ignored because of a ‘lack of time’—and that is exactly where the danger lies.

We taught the students that they don’t need to spend years in a gym to stay safe. They need to master the first 3 seconds.

Highlights from the CU Masterclass:

• Breaking the ‘Freeze’: We demonstrated live how to stop the brain from locking up during an awkward or dangerous situation.

• Mind as a Weapon: Students learned that ‘Safety Sense’ is 90% mental awareness and 10% physical action.

• The Digital Leap: Using the Exly Platform, we moved away from old-school paperwork. Hundreds of students joined our digital community instantly, gaining lifetime access to safety tips and their Official Certificates of Participation.

A Commitment to Every Department The response at CU was overwhelming. From the Health Department to the engineering blocks, the message is clear: students want to feel empowered. We are now preparing to take this seminar to every single department across the university to ensure CU remains the safest campus in India.

The Mission Continues Chandigarh University has set the gold standard. We are now inviting more institutions and corporate partners to join Project 1 Lakh.

“Education empowers your mind; Safety Sense empowers your life.”

3 Seconds to Safety:

3 Seconds to Safety:

The Reality Check Is our education truly complete if we don’t know how to protect ourselves? At GGDSD College, we recently asked this critical question. In a world where “lack of time” is the biggest excuse for ignoring safety, we proved that you don’t need hours to learn survival—you only need to master the first 3 seconds.

The Event: Project 1 Lakh Hits GGDSD The energy was electric as students gathered to move beyond textbooks and into the world of Safety Intelligence. I was honored to lead this seminar, sharing the culmination of my 53 years of martial arts experience with the next generation of leaders.

What We Taught: The “Switch On” Mindset Most people think self defense is about 10-minute fights or complex moves. We corrected that myth. At the GGSD seminar, we focused on:

• The 3-Second Rule: How to stop the “freeze” response and take action immediately.

• Situational Awareness: Training the eyes to see a threat before it arrives.

• Self Defense (Not just Survival): Moving from a victim mindset to a warrior mindset.

A Digital Mission To make safety a permanent part of their lives, we introduced the students to our Exly Digital Platform. We are removing all barriers—no paperwork, no long wait times. By scanning a simple code, students joined our lifetime community, ensuring that the lessons learned in the seminar stay with them forever.

The Road Ahead GGSD was a massive success, but the journey to 1 Lakh has just begun. We are taking this mission to every department, every college, and every corporate office.

A Special Message to Students: Your safety is your responsibility. Don’t wait for an emergency to realize you should have been prepared.

Have you ever watched a self defense video, thought it was great, but then forgot the move just ten minutes later?

You are not alone. In my 53 years of martial arts, I have seen thousands of people go “blank” when a real awkward situation arises. They forget the “steps” because fear takes over.

The Problem: Complex Moves Most classes teach you how to fight like a pro athlete. But a mother, a student, or a working professional doesn’t have 10 years to practice. They need safety now.

The Solution: The Handa Safety Instinct Through Project 1 Lakh, I am not teaching you how to win a trophy. I am teaching you how to survive. We focus on three things that your brain already knows how to do:

1. Awareness (The Eye Test): Spotting a bad situation before it touches you.

2. The Voice Shield: Using your words and posture to stop a person in their tracks.

3. Simple Triggers: Using natural body movements (like escaping a thumb-grip) that are impossible to forget.

My Mission I was once a weak child struggling with asthma. I found my strength through these simple instincts. Now, my goal is to create 100,000 Safety Leaders across India.

Self defense is 90% mental and 10% physical. If your mind is ready, your body will follow.

Don’t wait for a bad situation to happen. Start trusting your instinct today.

In 2025, parenting in the Tricity comes with new challenges. From the rise of screen addiction to concerns about school-yard bullying, parents in Chandigarh are looking for more than just a hobby for their children—they are looking for a “shield.”

At Extreme Martial Arts (EMA), we have been teaching children in Chandigarh (since 1984) and presently at Sector 26, Chandigarh. We’ve seen that while sports are great, Self-Defense is a life skill that every child needs. Here is why self-defense training is growing faster than any other kids’ activity in Chandigarh this year.

1. Real-World Safety, Not Just Sport
Unlike competitive sports where the goal is to win a trophy, our kids program is about Safety. In 2025, parents want their children to be “Bully-Proof.” We teach kids how to recognize “stranger danger,” how to use their voice to de-escalate a conflict, and—only as a last resort—how to use physical techniques to escape a grab and get to safety.

2. Replacing “Screen Time” with “Focus Time”
The biggest struggle for Chandigarh parents today is the digital world. Martial arts training requires total presence. When a child is practicing their blocks or balance at EMA, they aren’t thinking about a phone or a tablet. This “brain training” improves their attention span, which leads to better performance in school and exams.

3. Building “Internal” Confidence
Confidence doesn’t come from being the strongest kid in the room; it comes from knowing you can handle a difficult situation. By learning traditional self-defense values, children at EMA develop a quiet, steady confidence. They learn to carry themselves with respect, which naturally discourages bullies from targeting them.

4. Discipline and Respect (The Traditional Way)
As the oldest academy in Chandigarh, we stick to the core values of martial arts: Respect, Discipline, and Humility. In our classes, kids learn to bow to their seniors, follow instructions instantly, and value hard work. These are the “Old School” values that are more important than ever in 2025.

5. Fitness with a Purpose
While our students get a fantastic physical workout, they don’t even realize they are “exercising.” Through agility drills and self-defense movements, they build coordination, strength, and flexibility. It is fitness that serves a practical purpose: keeping them safe and healthy for life.

Start Your Child’s Journey at EMA Chandigarh
Your child’s safety and confidence are our mission. With over 40 years of experience in the Tricity, we provide a safe, family-friendly environment where every child is treated with care.
