What is &#8220;Wushu&#8221; for you Fareeha?<\/h3>\n<p>Wushu, a form of martial arts that originated in China in the 1940s, was brought to the school to teach self-defense to the girls to protect themselves from the gender-based violence that is constantly on the rise.\u00a0After learning it for three years, I got very good at it and there was hardly anyone in the state who could beat me. I eventually went on to become the\u00a0state champion in 2016.\u00a0Despite covering myself with a veil every time I do\u00a0Wushu, for me, Wushu-ing is the ultimate form of liberation.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"383974\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/fareeha-tafim-14-year-old-indian-wushu-waarior-ss-interview\/fareeha-tafim\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125207\/Fareeha-Tafim.jpg?fit=680%2C453&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"680,453\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Fareeha-Tafim\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125207\/Fareeha-Tafim.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125207\/Fareeha-Tafim.jpg?fit=680%2C453&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-383974 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125207\/Fareeha-Tafim.jpg?resize=680%2C453&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125207\/Fareeha-Tafim.jpg?resize=680%2C453&#038;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125207\/Fareeha-Tafim.jpg?resize=680%2C453&#038;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125207\/Fareeha-Tafim.jpg?resize=680%2C453&#038;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125207\/Fareeha-Tafim.jpg?resize=680%2C453&#038;ssl=1 470w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125207\/Fareeha-Tafim.jpg?resize=680%2C453&#038;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125207\/Fareeha-Tafim.jpg?resize=680%2C453&#038;ssl=1 130w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125207\/Fareeha-Tafim.jpg?resize=680%2C453&#038;ssl=1 187w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>2. What was the initial struggle you had to undergo in your desire to learn this self-defense\u00a0mechanism?<\/h3>\n<p>It was one thing to learn Wushu as self-defense and fight girls in the school, but neither my family nor my community approved of my\u00a0traveling all the way to Assam for the national championship. My mother believed that by doing this I would bring dishonor to the family. Following are the words she said, &#8220;If you show your face you will be called shameless because you will be performing in front of thousands of people&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;Fareeha is the subject of London-based filmmaker\u00a0Jayisha Patel&#8217;s documentary\u00a0<em>India&#8217;s Wushu Warrior Girl<\/em>. &#8220;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>3. Who was your biggest support on your this journey of becoming a national champion?<\/h3>\n<p>Though the entire family was against me, it was my father who supported me vehemently. He was an illiterate who grew up living on the streets; hence, he wanted his child to have a chance at anything that could make me independent irrespective of my gender. With him by my side, the rest of the family had to eventually give in, albeit halfheartedly.\u00a0Against all odds, I want to become a police officer so that I can protect young girls like me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_383977\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-383977\" style=\"width: 929px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-attachment-id=\"383977\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/fareeha-tafim-14-year-old-indian-wushu-waarior-ss-interview\/fareeha-tafim-31\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125513\/Fareeha-Tafim-31.jpg?fit=929%2C607&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"929,607\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1517057501&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Fareeha-Tafim-31\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125513\/Fareeha-Tafim-31.jpg?fit=300%2C196&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125513\/Fareeha-Tafim-31.jpg?fit=929%2C607&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-383977 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125513\/Fareeha-Tafim-31.jpg?resize=929%2C607&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"fareeha-tafim-i14-year-old-indian-wushu-waarior-ss-interview\" width=\"929\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125513\/Fareeha-Tafim-31.jpg?resize=929%2C607&#038;ssl=1 929w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125513\/Fareeha-Tafim-31.jpg?resize=929%2C607&#038;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125513\/Fareeha-Tafim-31.jpg?resize=929%2C607&#038;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/27125513\/Fareeha-Tafim-31.jpg?resize=929%2C607&#038;ssl=1 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 929px) 100vw, 929px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-383977\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">DEFYING ALL ODDS, FAREEHA TAFIM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALSO READ : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/100-scuba-dives-checked-dheeraj-m-nanda-ss-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">100 Scuba Dives Checked Out From Bucket List!

I am sure many young girls will now go for it as it kind of breaks the taboo around it. I look up to Mary Kom for inspiration and would want to spread the sport as much as I can.<\/p>\n<h3>5.
