Practical Weapons Training and Martial Arts Competitions
From mastering Filipino Kali and Indian Lathi to competing on the world stage, I help you build real-world confidence through weapon-based arts.
This is what high-level competition looks like. Footage from the blade fight nationals in Delhi, a new sport we are helping to grow in India.
It's not just about training, it's about testing your skills. Here is our team after winning medals at the Silambam district championship for long stick fighting. I am proud of their hard work and performance.

About this collection
You will start with the fundamentals using wooden training blades and sticks—we hand-paint these ourselves to ensure every detail reinforces your grip and stance. My goal is not to just teach you how to swing, but how to handle the tool as an extension of your own body, whether for self-defense or competitive sparring.
I do not believe in training only for the ring. My weapon-based arts curriculum—covering Filipino Kali, Indian Lathi, and blade fighting—is designed for the reality of the street. Whether you are a beginner looking for a weekend workshop or a practitioner aiming for national-level competitions like the Silambam championships, the focus remains on practical, effective movement. We are not just about winning medals, though my students have brought home gold and silver in recent championships. We are about building the grit required to step into a ring. I have helped introduce platforms like the International Blade Fight Federation (IBFF) here in India because I believe we need to push our limits. If you are serious about taking your skills to a competitive level or just want to learn how to defend yourself with a stick or blade in any situation, let us train.
