## Meet your expert

### My story

Hey, Sensei H here, or just call me Hemaal if you like. Fighting Fit is more than a gym. It's about facing your own battles, not just punching bags. On my 53rd, I rode 1200 km with my students, fell off the bike, busted my knee, but had zero regrets. Been learning and teaching martial arts for 28 years, still believe anyone can get fighting fit – young, old, doesn’t matter. We’re all students, all warriors.

### My work

- **Personalized martial arts and fitness training**: We mix kickboxing, MMA, Kali stick fighting, Krav Maga, Japanese Jiujitsu, Silambam, and Mudgar for a unique approach.
- **Self-defence for all ages and abilities**: Doesn’t matter if you’re 18 or 80, I’ll help you build a step-by-step plan that fits your strength and needs.
- **Outdoor martial arts classes**: Sometimes we train in nature, like Powai Forest Park, for a fresh mind and stronger body.
- **Real-world street defence focus**: We teach what works outside the dojo. No sports fluff, just practical skills for unpredictable situations.
- **Blending traditional and non-traditional styles**: We break the rules, mix arts, and adapt so you’re ready for anything. One system doesn’t fit all.
