About Representing India

You see the medals and the Team India tracksuits in these photos, but the real work happens in the math of the fight. Before I step onto the mat, I am already calculating my opponent's reaction time and adjusting my stance to remove any telegraphed moves. Winning at the Asian level is not about just working harder than the next guy. It is about understanding the science of the sport, controlling your weight category, and mastering WKF point scoring until it becomes absolute reflex.
