About this collection
Please note that our diploma programs require a committed 12-month tenure. This is not a weekend workshop but a rigorous academic and physical syllabus designed for those aiming to teach professionally or manage a sports academy, so expect regular assessments and demanding outdoor conditioning alongside your classroom theory.
Professional Certification Pathways
Our diploma programs bridge the gap between passion and professional credentialing. Whether you are aiming for a career as a fitness instructor or want to revive traditional arts, our curriculum is recognized by the National Martial Arts Committee India, ensuring your certification holds weight for future employment in PE departments or private coaching.
Specializations
You can choose to focus your 12-month diploma on modern Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) or delve into the rich heritage of India's traditional martial arts. We offer specialized training in:
- Mallyuddha: Ancient Indian wrestling techniques.
- Kalaripayattu: The martial art of Kerala.
- Gatka: Traditional Sikh martial arts.
- Silambam: Stick-fighting techniques.
Curriculum and Training
The 12-month Diploma in Martial Art (DMA) and Diploma in Traditional Martial Art (DTMA) cover comprehensive sports pedagogy, advanced combat drills, and club management. Training is hybrid, combining online theory modules with offline practical sessions at our Hapur and Greater Noida campuses. We emphasize 'sab kuch hands-on'—you will participate in outdoor conditioning, including tire flips and mud pit work, alongside standard indoor mat drills.
Important Considerations
- Career Support: We provide placement mentoring and business skills training for those planning to open their own studios.
- Costs: Uniforms (Gi) and protective gear are self-funded.
- Assessment: Every student must pass both theory and practical examinations to receive their diploma with official affiliation seals.
