This is the moment. The catch that helped win the gold medal for India at the 1998 Bangkok Asian Games. This single action represents years of mehnat and dedication, a moment of pride for the entire nation.
Receiving the Arjuna Award from the President of India was a dream come true. This award is not just a personal honor; it is a recognition of my dedication to Kabaddi and a symbol of the heights any player can reach with discipline and hard work.
Here I am with the next generation of coaches at the Sports Authority of India in Bengaluru. It was an honor to meet these coaches selected for the NIS Diploma Course, who will be responsible for training future champions.

About Kabaddi Coaching for Players

Why I Coach Kabaddi

Kabaddi has been my junoon (passion) from the days I played barefoot in the gaon (village). My journey from those fields all the way to the Arjuna Award and Asian Games gold wasn’t easy - lots of sangharsh (struggle). Now, my goal is simple: help naya players (new players) find their own path in this game.

How I Train

I see Kabaddi as more than just a sport. It’s about building character. You’ll see me right there on the ground, not just shouting instructions but showing you moves, correcting you in real time.

  • Discipline and respect come first, always.
  • Teamwork is non-negotiable. Nobody wins alone.
  • Mehnat (hard work) and lagan (dedication) - I push every player to find the champion inside.
  • Courage (himmat) is something we grow together, session by session.

What You’ll Learn

My sessions focus on both defensive Kabaddi drills and raiding techniques. I’ll give you feedback like “aa jump hodiyoga neenu kai support thagobeku” (when you jump, use your hand for support) - small details that make a big difference.

  • We train for both mud and mat, so you’re ready for any arena.
  • Fitness conditioning is built into every session - stamina, speed, and strength matter here.

Who Should Join

I coach juniors, pros, and entire teams. Beginners get a strong base, pros get international-level drills, and teams get help with strategy and unity. If you’ve got the passion, I’ll help with the rest.

My Story

Namaste, I’m Honnappa Gowda, from a tiny village near Yeshwantpur, Bangalore. Life wasn’t easy - lot of kashta, but kabaddi kept me going. That first Karnataka jersey, I still get goosebumps. 1998 Asian Games, gold medal, me as vice-captain - what a day! Arjuna Award in 2000, felt like all those tough days meant something. I owe it to every coach, every teammate. Dreams do come true, with guts and discipline.

My Work

Kabaddi Coaching for All Levels - We train juniors to pros at Honnappa Kabaddi Academy, plus guide other coaches too.

Hands-On Training Style - We focus on kabaddi front charge coaching and inside charge kabaddi skills. I always say, 'ಆ ಜಂಪ್ ಹೊಡಿಯೋಗ ನೀನು ಕೈ ಸಪೋರ್ಟ್ ತಗೋಬೇಕು' (use hand support when you jump).

Discipline & Teamwork First - Kabaddi is a legacy, not just a game. I teach respect for the sport, not just winning.

Future Champions Welcome - Looking for kids with real junoon for kabaddi, whether just starting or already playing.
