This is what it takes to train with me. ## Photos and videos - ![This is me in my element. Wrestling and jiu-jitsu teach you to push past your comfort zone.

I watch every student during sparring to see if you are getting frustrated or learning, because the moment you stop learning, you stop growing. I spend as much time fixing your mindset as I do your jab, because true strength starts from within. People often ask me if MMA is dangerous. I tell them being weak is dangerous. We train to be capable, not just for show. In my classes, whether it is BJJ, kickboxing, or wrestling, we are not just building muscle. We are building the ability to stay calm when things get chaotic. My approach is simple. Technique beats brute force every single time. If you see the 'oss' in our group, that is just us showing respect for the work we put in. I want my students to be better than they were yesterday, not just better than the guy next to them. We are a crew, and we push each other to break through barriers. You will sweat, you might get tapped out, and you will definitely be sore. But you will also understand why you are doing it. If you are ready to actually show up and do the work, come through. If you are looking for a fancy gym with AC and mirrors, look elsewhere. We train for real life. ## About Shiljith I am Shiljith. For me, MMA, BJJ, and boxing are not just sports, they are how I live my life. I am always on the mats, training hard with my crew and pushing everyone to be better than they were yesterday.
