Rahul Gandhi hints at Bharat Dojo Yatra after sharing martial arts video

Rahul Gandhi took to social media and posted a video of him teaching the art of jiu-jitsu - a form of martial arts - to kids during the Nyay Yatra as a form of self defence.

The video titled ‘seekhoge thoda martial, thoda gentle art’ showed Rahul Gandhi, a black belt in Aikido, and his trainer Arun Sharma, a jiu-jitsu black belt, training in the evening camps set up during the yatra in multiple states, teaching children martial art moves and self-defence along the way.

“During the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, as we journeyed across thousands of kilometers, we had a daily routine of practicing jiu-jitsu every evening at our campsite. What began as a simple way to stay fit quickly evolved into a community activity, bringing together fellow yatris and young martial arts students from the towns where we stayed (sic),” Gandhi posted on X.
