My Coaching Credentials & Awards

My journey in martial arts started from humble beginnings, or what people call badatanada nadeveyu (through poverty), and I have spent 22 years ensuring my students have the discipline I lacked early on. I have been recognized with the Taekwondo Kridarathna Karnataka Lifetime Achievement Award (2023) and the Dakshina Patheshwara Immadi Pulikeshi Award (2024), but these trophies are not the end goal. They serve as a benchmark for the standards I maintain at Panthers Combat Club.

Whether you are looking to learn Taekwondo, Boxing, or self-defense, my teaching methods are rooted in the same principles that earned me recognition as a state coach. I do not believe in shortcuts or steroids. I believe in grinding through the basics, shadowboxing, heavy bag work, and intense conditioning, until they become second nature.

When you join my club in Jayanagar 7th Block, you are joining a proven system. I personally oversee my students’ development, ensuring they are mentally and physically prepared for tournaments, marathons, or personal fitness goals. My focus remains on the athlete’s transformation, not just the physical output. If you are serious about your development and want to train under a coach who is deeply invested in the local Bengaluru martial arts community, you are in the right place.
