They document my ongoing training in the Shatrunashak System of Krav Maga under Master Vicky Kapoor. If I expect my students to push their physical and mental limits at Fighting Fit, I must be doing the exact same thing. ### The student mindset I have spent nearly three decades in martial arts, yet I am constantly returning to the mat as a student. The training you see here—specifically my Practitioner Level F-4, F-5, and Graduate Level W-1 certifications—is part of my commitment to staying current in real-world combat techniques. Krav Maga is not static. It evolves, and so do I. By training consistently at high levels in Delhi and Mumbai, I bring back fresh, tested drills to our sessions at the Bandra dojo and Powai Forest Park. This isn't about collecting titles or building a trophy case. It is about ensuring that when you train with me, you are learning methods that are practical, updated, and proven. ### Why this matters to you Whether you are interested in our group kickboxing sessions, private coaching, or the intensive weapons defense course, you can trust that the foundation is solid. I don't teach theory I haven't pressure-tested myself. When we work on stress testing or 4-direction movement, it is because I have walked that path myself, fallen, and got back up to learn more. That is the Fighting Fit way. ## About Hemaal Shah I’ve been learning and teaching for 28 years, but I’m a student first. When I train under my masters in Delhi, I’m not 'Sensei', I’m just a guy on the mat pushing my limits. You deserve an instructor who is actively testing his own skills, not just recycling old moves.
