Sports run in my veins, from MMA to cricket, even PlayStation games back in the day—man, I ruled at Burnout! Now, I’d rather hit the court than hit the gym. Nature keeps me grounded, and dogs, especially Pit Bulls, teach me about real love and loyalty. Mindset is everything, in fights and in life. Stay true, stay wild, bring it on. ### My work - **Personal & Group Training**: Kickboxing (kids & adults), MMA group classes, BJJ, strength and conditioning, self-defense, weight loss. - **Mindset Over Muscle**: Boxing is like chess - strategy matters more than brute force. Calm mind wins, violence loses. - **Open To All**: Kids kickboxing training, beginners, students, employees, anyone from age 4 and up. No age bar. - **Skill & Stamina Building**: We do drills, push comfort zones, and grow stronger together. Martial arts means respect and discipline. - **Focus On Progress**: Not just about winning. Build skills, punch harder, defend yourself, and get fit in body and mind. ## Book To book Shiljith, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20Shiljith.)
