## About Martial Arts & Combat Sports Training

### My Way: Fighters, Not Just Fitness

Navve geddiroru, navve gelloru. Here, I don’t train people just to get fit. We train to win. I’m not chasing medals for myself or looking to be the ‘best coach’ in India. My focus is simple - my student becomes the champ, I stand by them. I don’t do sullu (lies) or mosa (cheating).

### What We Train

- Muay Thai is my core - punches, kicks, elbows, knees, clinch - full real fight style. If you want the Art of 9 Limbs, this is it.
- Kickboxing and Boxing - we drill footwork, striking, and ring-craft from scratch, in a proper boxing ring.
- BJJ & Wrestling - the ground game is serious here. We work on takedowns, submissions, control - with the Gi for BJJ.
- For those wanting more roots, we go into traditional Muay Boran techniques too.

### How We Build You

- It’s tough. Group classes mean you bleed and grow together. No shortcuts.
- Technique comes first, then live sparring. Group sparring sessions are the real test.
- Hardcore combat sports conditioning drills: cardio, tire work, shin hardening, core. Not a fancy gym, just honest grind.

### Who Fits In?

Anyone with discipline and fire. Doesn’t matter if you’re a total beginner, a chota champ (kid), a woman wanting self-defense classes, or a pro looking for real training. Just bring your will. I’ll handle the rest.

### My story

People see me - tall, tattoos, bit rough - and think street fighter. But Muay Thai is my life, not just a sport. Kannada Premi, that’s me. My strength? Madeshwara, always with me, gym and home. My grandfather shaped me, my family is everything. I’m a World Champ, Kru, but watching my students win, that’s the real prize. I fight, I protect. Faith is my backbone. Uge Madappa!

### My work

- **Martial Arts Training**: I teach Muay Thai, boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, BJJ, MMA, and Muay Boran classes.
- **Direct Coaching Style**: Ninge enu beko, adanne helodu. I push, I shout, I make you work till perfect.
- **Train Like a Fighter**: We do Indian desi conditioning, heavy bag work, and technical fight training. Not just fitness, real fight skills.
- **Ring Discipline**: The ring is sacred. We do Wai Kru, learn respect, discipline. It’s a temple for warriors.
- **Open for All**: Kids, adults, anyone with fire. Karnataka champion coaching, medals to prove it. Thunder Martial Arts is our team.
