Step into the gym with me. These vlogs are not highlights—they are the unfiltered reality of running Dojang, prepping fighters for the cage, and the grit behind every session in Assam.

This vlog takes you on the road with me to an MMA seminar in Bongaigaon. I show how we teach technical drills like back control, run sparring sessions, and even help general fitness clients, spreading the art of MMA across the region.

I discuss the harsh reality of Indian MMA, where a top-ranked fighter gets little media attention until they reach the very top. This vlog shows our Muay Thai clinch work and the importance of having a strong team in your corner.

A raw look at the challenges of fight preparation. This vlog documents a stressful situation where my fighter missed weight due to a faulty official scale, showing the unpredictable nature of competition.

In this vlog, spoken in Assamese, I break down a typical training session focusing on boxing counters, takedowns, and endurance drills. It also highlights the importance of our post-workout stretching and recovery routines, featuring our team's recovery specialist.

For those who don't have access to an MMA gym, I explain how to start your journey by focusing on foundational arts like boxing, wrestling, and Wushu. This is my advice for building a solid base for a future in mixed martial arts.

A look inside the final days of a fight camp for a major event. This vlog shows the intensity of a professional fighter's weight cut and a glimpse of our gym's anniversary celebration.

Even a flood won't stop our training. This vlog shows a morning of Muay Thai sparring before the city's traffic and weather made it impossible to get to the gym, highlighting the dedication required to keep going.

About The Coach's Vlogs: A Day in the Life

In these vlogs, I don't sugarcoat the process. You will see exactly how we handle high-stress weight cuts, the reality of teaching boxing counters in a non-AC facility, and why our recovery specialist is just as critical as our striking drills. This is a real, transparent look at what it takes to build a competitive fighter from the ground up, whether we are training in Guwahati or Bongaigaon.
