I’ve taken my Team India experience from Gulmarg to Singapore, and now I bring those exact international techniques to our rinks in Bengaluru. ## Photos and videos - ![My expertise covers both roller and ice skating.

When I train my students, I teach them to master their center of gravity and edge control, the same skills I refined while winning my 9th national title. You aren't just learning to skate; you are learning the biomechanics of speed that I use at the international level. In India, people see skating and think it’s just a weekend activity. But when you step onto the ice, every mistake is amplified. My journey started with rollers, but my heart found its rhythm on the ice. Winning golds at the 15th Nationals in Gulmarg and bringing home medals from the SEA Games in Singapore taught me one thing: technique is king. We don't just teach 'how to skate.' We use dry-land drills—slide boards, parachute resistance, and core conditioning—to simulate ice conditions right here in our Namma Bengaluru rinks. Whether you are a beginner or looking to compete, I translate these international methods into simple steps. Innondu round (one more round) is our mantra because that is how we break the barrier between a participant and a champion. My team in Rajarajeshwari Nagar and JP Nagar operates on one principle: grit. My wife Swathi ensures every student gets personal attention, while I push the competitive skaters to think about their aerodynamics and posture. If you want to train with someone who has actually been on the podium representing India, let's talk. We turn potential into performance, one stride at a time. ## About Raghavendra Somayaji I'm Raghavendra, and I live for this sport. My wife Swathi keeps our academy on track, and together we treat every student like family. We don't believe in shortcuts, just hard work and the same grit that got me on the podium.
