In a bid to raise awareness about the need for women to know self-defence, Tamilnadu bride P Nisha wielded sticks and weapons to perform a set of martial arts.   Nisha, who, draped in her silk wedding saare, took weapons in her hands to perform 'Surul vaal veechu' besides performing 'Rettai Kambu' with silambam sticks in front of a wedding hall at Thirukolur village in Tuticorin district in Tami Nadu.

Nisha said that she performed the stunts dressed in her wedding saare to create awareness among girls about learning self-defence. The video of the woman performing the stunts have gone viral on social media.

The bride says that it was not easy to perform martial arts in the wedding saree and heavy make-up. Nisha, who is a BCom graduate and aspiring to become a police officer, said that she had started learning traditional martial three years ago as a final year college student.  She has been practicing martial arts for many years now, Nisha revealed. She said she took interest in the sport after her mother urged the importance of self-defence for girls. As a commerce student, Nisha began learning the sport and is now a pro at it, especially in the South Indian ‘silambam’ style of weapon-based martial arts.
