Raw and unfiltered. This is the reality of building India's most active fight team from the ground up, one drill and one lesson at a time.

A day in my life as a coach. From sponsoring an athlete to BJJ class and technical drills, this is what it's all about. My goal is to help my athletes every way I can, because every day is a chance to get 1% better.

What does it take to run a business and be India's most active fight team? This vlog shows a day of strength and conditioning, a promo shoot for a fighter, and me jumping in to train with the intermediate group to help them level up.

A special day for our team as one of our fighters, Nazret, gets a feature with a clothing brand. His story from a truck driver to a top MMA prospect deserves to be heard. But no matter the fame, training always comes first.

Sparring day is my favorite day. In this vlog, I also share one of my craziest experiences as a coach, involving a pro fight in Uganda, gunfire, and an Ebola outbreak. The life of a coach is never dull.

A special day for the gym as we finally get AC installed. This vlog shows me running between our branches, coaching the fight camp, and taking a personal training session. The grind never stops.

After a fight night, I reflect on what success in martial arts really means. It's not just about winning or losing, but about completing the journey with discipline and sportsmanship.

A vlog from my seminar at our Bongaigaon branch. I explain how we teach MMA, from boxing basics to advanced back control techniques, and the importance of meditation for fighters.

This is what heart looks like. One of my fighters apologized for losing, but I'm just proud of his courage. In a world of excuses, this kid is an inspiration. Failure is just a part of the process.

My obsession is to create a UFC champion from India. I chose the hard path, taking tough fights to level up my athletes. Failure is a part of that path, and we use it to learn and grow stronger, ignoring the trolls.

People ask why I quit fighting to coach. It's for this feeling: helping a deserving fighter get the platform they've earned. Bringing fighters from all over India to train with us in Guwahati is a dream come true.

About My Coaching Journey (Vlogs)

If you are looking for a commercial fitness gym with fancy gadgets, this is not it. Here, we prioritize the grind. What you see in these vlogs is exactly how we train: heavy focus on technical drills, intense sparring, and building the mental conditioning required for real MMA. If you want to learn to fight or just push your limits, you have to be ready to put in the work, period.

I started Dojang in a balcony with 8 students. Now, I am obsessed with building India's first UFC champion. I am not here to sell you a standard gym membership; I am here to train you if you are ready to actually put in the work.
