How I Train You to Be Your Own Bodyguard

I’m not here to make you just look fit - I want you to feel strong inside out. I believe in being 'Fighting Fit': ready for anything, not just the gym mirror. My training is about unlocking that hidden potential you probably ignore most days.

My Style - The Fighting Fit Method

I mix things up. We use traditional martial arts but in a way that actually works outside the ring. You’ll see bits of Kickboxing, Krav Maga, and Kali in every session, because real life isn’t predictable. What matters is that you learn what actually helps you if things get messy.

What Happens in Sessions

  • Combat Kickboxing & High Intensity Cardio: We throw punches, block, kick on focus mitts and pads. Expect sweat, sore arms, and serious confidence. Sometimes we bounce on mini-trampolines, because why not?
  • Strength Desi Style: I love using Mudgar and Gada - old school Indian gear that builds proper functional strength for everyday life. It’s low impact, boosts your joints, and makes you feel solid inside.
  • MMA Inspired Fitness Routines: We use stress drills so your reflexes kick in when you need them, not just when you’re calm.

Who Can Join?

Don’t stress about your age, fitness, or injuries. You want to move, I’ll help you move. I make the plan fit you, not the other way round.

Where We Train

Most classes happen in my Bandra dojo. Sundays, we take it outdoors at Powai Forest Park. Sometimes, we chill in the trees too - shinrin-yoku, boss style (forest bathing, for the city folks).

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.
