I believe in training alongside my players, showing them the right moves and correcting techniques in real time. You can hear me giving specific feedback in Kannada, like “aa jump hodiyoga neenu kai support thagobeku” (when you jump, use your hand for support), because small details make champions.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/f57c11f8-b1fc-4735-9e53-eb547515c85c) - [Video: My journey started in a small village, Subedarpalya, with a big dream: to see the tiranga fly high.

Whether we are practicing on mud grounds for raw strength or on mats for tactical speed, you will see me in the center correcting your posture. My focus is on the small details—like the exact moment to use hand support during a jump—that differentiate a good player from a champion. My coaching philosophy is simple: kabaddi is a legacy, not just a game. When you join my sessions in Bengaluru, you aren't just learning moves; you are learning the discipline that took me from a small village field to the Asian Games podium. **Mud vs. Mat Training** Many academies focus only on mats. I believe in the traditional mud court (mitti ground) to build raw leg strength and gripping power, balanced with technical sessions on standard EVA foam mats. This dual approach ensures you are prepared for any arena, whether it is a village tournament or a professional league trial. **Core Skill Development** I personally oversee the curriculum, covering: * **Defensive Fundamentals:** Mechanics of ankle holds, thigh holds, and chain formations. * **Raiding Strategy:** Breath control (cant), footwork shuffles, and hand touches. * **Advanced Tactics:** Specialized drills for the Dubki, Toe Touch, and Scorpion Kick. **Mentorship** I work with juniors, pros, and aspiring coaches. My goal is to build your game intelligence. I do not just tell you what went wrong; I analyze your movement and show you the correction. If you have the passion, I will provide the discipline and the technical foundation to help you find the champion within yourself. ## About C Honnappa Gowda I am Honnappa Gowda.
