This is a state of the art self protection course that has been tailor made to suit the needs of the Sikh Community. Since 9/11, turban-wearing Sikhs have suffered a great deal of verbal and physical abuse so it was deemed necessary to address this issue.

Furthermore, Sikhs are taught to be warriors of justice, as well as spiritual saints, so the skills of combat and martial arts are given great importance in the Sikh religion.

Unfortunately, with busy lives etc, many Sikhs find it difficult to commit to a regular martial arts class. However, this short ten week course has provided the participants with all the skills that they are ever likely to need to defend themselves. Not only that, all of the participants have reported that it has been a great experience, both lots of fun and very realistic, using lots of modern scenario training methods.

Given the overwhelming popularity of this course, SCYS hopes to organise more courses like this for the future.

This course is full and not open to new starters. However, feel free to contact us to register your interest and put your name down for the next course.

Other aspects of Mel Milaap include trips, walking and other physical activities. In addition students are motivated to volunteer, erase fear, explore their own talents such as writing, singing, dancing and poetry.

Yoga brings balance among the body, mind and soul and provides contraction and relaxations of the muscles, which removes tension and stress from the bones, muscles and skin.

Our Regular Yoga sessions makes one flexible, energetic and strong both from within and physically and works inside the body system, so glands produce and secrete the right amount of juices to keep the body fit.

Our sessions also involve breathing exercises, which helps to calm down the mind and helps to increase the lung capacity. This exercise helps to take in more oxygen throughout the body and removes carbon dioxide from the body, mind and soul.

We also concentrate on meditation. Meditation helps to control unwanted thoughts by training the mind.
The mind always takes us to the future or past, but does not stay in the present. Therefore through meditation, one learns how to be in the present and enjoy their present life fully and happily.

Through Yoga, one can see physical, mental and spiritual results. The most important part of our Yoga sessions is to teach how to change habits, behaviour, attitudes and how to be more vigilant about eating habits, sleeping times, recreation time and how to enjoy a happy and grateful life amongst the beautiful world and its people.
