Meet Your Coach: Siddharth Varma
I’m not just an instructor; I’m a fighter with 157 amateur matches and a national career behind me. At my academy, we drop the fluff and focus on real technique, discipline, and the mental strength it takes to win.

About Meet the Coach: Trained by a National Champion
I don't just teach the standard syllabus. Because I've fought 157 amateur matches and competed professionally in the USA, I catch the small errors in your footwork before they become bad habits. When you train with me, you’re learning what works in a high-stakes ring, not just what looks good for a video.
My journey in the ring isn't from a textbook. Since 1997, I have lived the grind—from local bouts to fighting internationally alongside Manny Pacquiao. When I opened the Marine Centre Boxing Academy (MCBA) in Vashi, I had one rule: no reels, no shortcuts, and no fancy machines. Just boxing.
The MCBA Way
We focus on the fundamentals that actually work. Whether it is perfecting your Jab-Cross combination, your defensive slipping, or getting that footwork right, I am personally supervising your progress. We use traditional Indian floor exercises, dand (pushups), and heavy bag work to build functional strength.
Why Train With Me?
- Real Experience: I’ve seen the inside of the ring over 150 times. I know exactly what panic feels like and how to train your mind to stay calm under pressure.
- Confidence First: I take the shy kids and the introverted teens and turn them into fighters. Boxing is a tool for mental toughness; you walk out of here with more self-belief than when you walked in.
- No Nonsense: We don't mix karate, kickboxing, or aerobics. This is a pure boxing academy. If you want to get fit, we make you work. If you want to compete, we prepare you for the DSO and National championships with the same intensity I used in my own career.
Every student starts at zero. If you are ready to stop looking for excuses and start sweating, step into the ring. We train Monday to Friday, and if you have the discipline, I will make sure you get the results.
Marine Centre Boxing Academy
I’m Siddharth Varma, and my boxing ring is my classroom. I’ve fought 157 matches, lived the grind, and now I’m here to make sure you don’t repeat my early mistakes. I don't just teach boxing; I build champions.
