Sultanpur: You must have heard that some families belong to doctors, some are connected to the army and some teachers. But there is a family in Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh, which can be called ‘Martial Arts Family’ in the true sense. The two generations of this family are not only carrying forward the tradition of martial arts, but are also creating new history by transporting it to the next generation. First father, then son and now daughters- all three have mastered this art and illuminated the name of Sultanpur.
This is how the beginning
We are talking about the family of Girja Shankar Pandey, resident of Karaundia, Sultanpur. He entered the world of martial arts in 1984. In the initial stages, he trained in the Madras style and started teaching it in Uttar Pradesh from 1989. Till now he has trained hundreds of children, many of whom have won medals at the national level. Girja Shankar Pandey himself has won a gold medal at the national level six times and is a black belt. He said that once during a quarrel in Ayodhya, he realized the importance of self -defense, which was inspired to decide to learn martial arts.
All family members are expensive
Girja Shankar Pandey’s son Rahul Pandey is also proficient in this art and the government has given him the charge of Ayodhya Mandal. Not only Rahul, but his three sisters- Kajol, Vibha and Komal have also won many national and state level medals in martial arts.
Story of struggle and dedication
Komal says that it was not easy to take training in the early days. His father used to pick him up at 3 in the morning and take him by bike due to the ground being away from home. Many times she used to sleep on a bike on the way. Kajol said that hard work and restraint is necessary to learn martial arts, as well as diet also has to take special care.
Self -defense and confidence with martial arts
Rahul Pandey believes that nowadays children do not pay attention to their health and self -defense. Martial arts helps in making daughters self -sufficient. Vibha says that in view of martial arts in the family environment, he also adopted it as his career.
This family is not only touching the new heights of success itself, but is also teaching the importance of self -defense and discipline to the coming generations.
