Competitive Speed Skating Training in Bengaluru
Train with a 9-time national champion. We do not just teach skating; we build athletes ready to fight for the podium.
This is how we build explosive power. I use parachute training to create resistance, strengthening the key muscles needed for powerful starts and maintaining speed. It's a core part of our high-intensity interval skating drills.
The result of dedicated training. Here I am with my student after he won gold in the 1000m at the 6th National Ranking Championship. This is what we work for.
This is what race day feels like. A clip from the 59th National Championship, showing the tactics and split-second decisions needed to secure a gold medal finish. I teach my skaters how to be not just fast, but smart.
Perfecting form is everything. We use slide boards to lock down skating posture and technique, ensuring every movement is efficient and powerful. I always push for "innondu round" to build muscle memory.
My club is a team of champions. This collage from the 61st National Championship shows our skaters with their haul of gold, silver, and bronze medals. We train together, we win together.
My passion for skating goes beyond the roller rink. I've had the honor of representing India and winning medals in international short track ice skating, an experience that brings a unique depth to my coaching.
Skating is a family affair. This is a proud moment for me, both as a father and a coach, after my daughter and I both won gold medals at the district championship.
The pride of representing Karnataka. A victory moment from the 59th National Championship, holding our state flag high. This is the passion I instill in all my athletes.
About Featured
We go beyond the basics with high-intensity drills like parachute resistance skating, specifically designed to build explosive leg power. In my sessions, we focus on every detail—from your aerodynamic speed tuck to that critical last-lap maneuver—ensuring you are physically and mentally ready for race day.
Success on the track is not accidental. It is the result of 'innondu round'—doing that one extra round when your legs are burning. My training philosophy is simple: we train like machines. Whether you are aiming for district championships or national glory, I apply the same competitive techniques I used to become a 9-time national champion.
Our Training Focus
- Technical Precision: We use slide boards to lock down your skating form and posture, ensuring your stride mechanics are efficient and powerful.
- Race Strategy: It is not enough to be fast. I teach skaters how to read a race, navigate corners, manage pack dynamics, and execute drafting breakaways.
- Physical Conditioning: From core-strengthening dryland training to endurance laps, we build the foundation needed to sustain high speeds.
We offer structured pathways for skaters at various stages, from intermediate speed programs to our intensive National Level Elite Squad. We train at multiple venues, including Skater's World in Rajarajeshwari Nagar and Chennammana Kere Grounds in Basavanagudi. If you are serious about taking your skating to the competitive level, I am here to help you navigate the pressure and the politics to reach the podium. Let us work together to make your skating dream a reality.
