People see the highlight reels, but I manage the entire ecosystem that makes those moments possible. Whether it is sourcing sponsorships, managing pro fight camps, or choreographing action sequences for web series like FISAA, I treat Dojang like a professional management firm. This is not just a gym; it is a platform where our athletes get the support they need to compete at the highest level. When I started the Dojang journey in a balcony with just 8 students, I realized that talent alone doesn't create champions—infrastructure does. I didn't just open a space to train; I built a brand. Through 'TKO Talks', our podcast, I give fighters like Mridul a voice and show the real, gritty mindset required to win in a sport that rarely gets mainstream support in India. We handle the details that nobody talks about: * **Fighter Management:** We take care of fight selection, sponsorship deals, and the logistical nightmare of international travel for camps. * **Film & Action Work:** My MMA background translates directly into reality. I choreograph fight scenes for productions like 'FISAA,' treating it with the same discipline as a match. * **Refereeing:** I step into the cage as a referee for promotions like the Nepal Warrior Championship. It is not just a role; it is my way of understanding the sport from every angle—fighter, coach, and official. This full-spectrum approach is why our fighters are the most active in the country. We don't wait for opportunities to knock; we create the business infrastructure that lets our athletes stay focused on their craft while we handle the strategy. If you are serious about making this your life, you are not just signing up for classes—you are joining a team that knows exactly how the fight game works. ## About Manas Daimary I am Manas. I founded Dojang to build India's first UFC champion, but I realized early on that to get there, we had to control our own narrative. I coach, I manage, and I fight for my team's future both inside and outside the cage.
