My training combines the ancient footwork and weapon control of Silambam with modern combat techniques. When you train here, you are not just learning to punch; you are learning how to move with purpose and control, the same way I prepare for the octagon. I started my journey as a 10-year-old in Kerala, and I took that same fire to the international octagon. At BFC Bodyforce, we do not believe in shortcuts or flashy fitness trends. We believe in the foundational strength provided by our traditional arts. ### The BFC Approach My coaching philosophy is simple: Nammal oru team aanu (We are one team). We train in an industrial gym setting in Bangalore, equipped with professional MMA mats. We do not have AC or fancy lights because real fighting does not happen in a climate-controlled room. ### Why Tradition Matters We integrate Kalaripayattu and Silambam because they provide physical conditioning that a standard gym cannot replicate. - **Kalaripayattu:** Our ashan, Moideen Rafi, teaches the original style to build extreme flexibility and body control. - **Silambam:** This is not just stick fighting. It is the secret to the footwork, balance, and agility I use in my own boxing and MMA fights. ### Your Commitment Whether you are a beginner or a fighter, the expectation is the same. We focus on rigorous conditioning, pad drills, and honest technique. This is for people who want to reconnect with their roots and build true fighting basics. If you are ready to put in the work and respect the lineage, you belong here. ## About Abdul Muneer I am Abdul Muneer, known as The Cut Man.
