Every Hindu must be a soldier.
Every Hindu must be a sanatani.
Pujyapad Puri Shankaracharyaji emphasises the importance of martial training.
In challenging times, all varnas must have the training of a soldier and the ability to fight with arms at any stage (even vanaprastha). This has also been mentioned in the Mahabharata. It is important to be able to protect ourselves. Women must also learn self-defence and must train to fight in times of war.
Hence, if you are in good condition of health, it is a must to train yourself in order to protect yourself and family.
