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. ## About Raghavendra Somayaji I am Raghavendra, and for me, skating is how I have lived my life. Whether I am training on the ice or the rink, I push my students to be relentless, just like I was while fighting for my own national titles. My wife Swathi and I run this academy with one goal: making sure you have the grit to win.
