### My story

When we started, it was just our family and a dream - sport for all, not only city folks. Our kids, Ana and Siddhartha, learned martial arts right here in our own village. That’s the real Active Bharat. We built Rashtriya Samarik Kala Vidyapith, the National Martial Arts Academy, to bring back desi games like Gilli Danda and Mallyuddha. Empowering girls, giving everyone a shot at a medal, that’s what keeps us going. Recognition matters, but seeing kids grow - that’s the real win.

### My work

- **Courses for All Ages & Levels**: We teach martial arts, dance, fitness, self-defense, and Gilli Danda certification for everyone, from kids to adults.
- **Real-World Desi Training**: No fancy gyms. We mix science with desi ruggedness - open air, big tires, and true grit.
- **Path to Podium**: Join our National Martial Arts Games, start as a beginner, and aim for national-level competitions.
- **Certified Trainer & Coordinator Courses**: Get certified as a personal trainer or join our National Self Defense Mission for women’s empowerment.
- **Franchise & Network Opportunities**: Own an academy or club? Join our network for martial arts franchise opportunity and curriculum access.
