Rhea Chakraborty trains for self-defence with Krav Maga

Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty, last seen in films like 'Sonali Cable' and 'Mere Dad Ki Maruti', who works long hours on shoots or assignments, had once faced a threat to her safety close to home.
In an interview to a tabloid, she recalled how a stranger had groped her in the elevator of her society building in broad daylight, despite it being guarded. So, to build her self-defence and gain strength, Rhea is training in Krav Maga.

A mixed martial art that utilises the strength of a person’s body to fight, Krav Maga was developed in Israel as a fitness regimen. A global rage with stars like Daniel Craig, Tom Cruise and Hillary Swank, this fitness and self-defence technique sets Rhea apart from contemporary female actors; for it also trains her in action.

On her part, the 23 year old is giving her training her complete attention. She said, “I'd say Krav Maga is more mind than body. You need to quickly assess a situation and modify whatever you have into a potential weapon. Your mind needs to be sharp, so it can match the blows the body will receive to the blow you will deliver,” she says. “This translates to improved stress-management skills in the real world,” she adds.
