When we take a fighter to a venue like MFN or an international camp in Thailand, I’m not just their coach, I’m their manager, travel planner, and corner support. You’ll see that process here: the real-time adjustments we make in the cage, how we manage pre-fight injuries, and the hard truth about why some fighters succeed where others plateau. Building a pro fighter is 10% the win and 90% the preparation you don't see on the broadcast. My goal with Team Dojang is simple: I want the first Indian UFC champion. To get there, we don't take easy paths. We take tough fights, even when the odds are stacked against us. We learn as much from a loss in a high-stakes bout as we do from a knockout win. ### The Reality of the Pro Circuit We don't believe in shortcuts. Whether it's our international camps at places like Bangtao or Phuket Grappling Academy, or local events like MFN and the Dojang Fight League, the focus is always on getting real experience. If we lose, we analyze the technical gaps. If we win, we look for the next challenge. ### What Training Looks Like - **Weight Cutting:** This is the most dangerous part of the job. You will see how we handle the scale, the hydration protocols, and the times when we have to pivot because of a glitching scale in Nagaland or a tough weight cut. - **Corner Strategy:** Fighting is chess. You will see how we talk fighters through breathing patterns, cage reversals, and takedown defense mid-round. - **Logistics:** Building a pro career means managing sponsorships, travel to Nepal or Mumbai, and dealing with fight organizers. It is a full-time job for both the coach and the athlete. This isn't a hobby. It's a career path. If you are ready to sacrifice comfort for progress and want to fight in the pro circuit, we will provide the infrastructure, the connections, and the brutal honesty you need to get there. ## About Manas Daimary I’m Manas, and Dojang is the gym I built from a balcony with eight students.
