Karnataka Muay Thai medalist, yeah, but it’s more about dhairya (courage), ekagrata (focus), shakti (strength). Had a shoulder busted up, surgery, rehab – boring as hell, but you keep moving, inch by inch. When I’m not training, I’m messing with my keyboard, or hanging with my crazy husky Obhi and my burger joint Ramary Crumb. Life’s a grind, but I love the fight. ### My work - **Kick Boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, Self Defense, Functional Fitness**: I train folks in personal and group setups, whether you want to fight or just get strong. - **Mental Fortitude & Persistence**: Dhairya, ekagrata, shakti. We chase progress, not perfection. Show up, even when it sucks. - **All Levels Welcome**: Corporate folks, moms, fighters – if you’ve got will, I’ve got your back. Age doesn’t matter. - **No-Nonsense Training**: I push hard. You’ll learn the sweet science and build real resilience. No magic, just sweat. ## More services from Prakash Ramakrishnan - [Personal Fitness Training](https://mytribe.in/muay_prakash/personal-fitness-training) · ₹12-22K per month (estimate) ## Experts similar to Prakash Ramakrishnan on mytribe - [Martial Arts & Combat Sports Training by Madan Gowda](https://mytribe.in/madan.gowda1/martial-arts-combat-sports-training) · ₹2.8-12K per month (estimate) · Thunder Martial Arts - [Fitness & Self-Defense Training by Panthers Combat Club](https://mytribe.in/pantherscombatclub/fitness-self-defense-training) · ₹2.5-15K per month (estimate) · Panthers Combat Club (R) - [Mixed Martial Arts & Combat Sports Training by Bengaluru MMA](https://mytribe.in/bengalurumma/mixed-martial-arts-combat-sports-training) · ₹2,500-3,800 per month (estimate) · Bengaluru MMA Jalahalli - [Combat Sports Training by MultiFit](https://mytribe.in/multifit_bengaluru/combat-sports-training) · ₹299-1,500 per session (estimate) · MultiFit - Gym in Kalyan Nagar - [Combat Sports by Namma Training](https://mytribe.in/nammatraining/combat-sports) · ₹3,800-4,800 per month (estimate) · NAMMAxFit - [Combat Sports Training by The Fit Nation](https://mytribe.in/thefitnation.in/combat-sports-training) · ₹10.5-13.5K per quarter (estimate) - [Combat Sports & Martial Arts by Raw Combat Fitness](https://mytribe.in/rawfitnessindia/combat-sports-martial-arts) · ₹4,500-5,500 per month (estimate) · Chaayos Cafe at Kammanahalli - [Combat Sports Training by Tiger Tongue](https://mytribe.in/tigertongueforyou/combat-sports-training) · ₹2,800-3,500 per month (estimate) · CrossFit Yuva - [Combat Fitness by Bangalore Boxing Club](https://mytribe.in/bangalore-boxing-club/combat-fitness) · ₹1,800-6,000 per month (estimate) · Bangalore Boxing Club HENNUR Cross - [Mixed Martial Arts & Combat Sports by Bold MMA](https://mytribe.in/boldmmaandfitness/mixed-martial-arts-combat-sports) · ₹2.2-11K per month (estimate) · BOLD MMA & FITNESS GYM ## Book To book Prakash Ramakrishnan, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Combat%20Sports%20%26%20Self-Defense%20by%20Prakash%20Ramakrishnan.)
