Whether it’s kettlebell swings for explosive hip movement or deadlifts to anchor your stance, every movement in my circuit has a specific purpose in a real self-defense scenario. In the dojo, you realize quickly that technique fails if your body can't execute it under pressure. My strength and conditioning routines aren't about aesthetics; they are about functional capability. I focus on hybrid training—mixing explosive plyometrics, heavy lifting, and bodyweight control—so you are never the weak link in a fight. ### The Why Behind the Weight When someone grabs you, it’s rarely a gentle push. You need grip strength to break away and core stability to stay upright. My classes in Gurgaon use kettlebells for that exact explosive hip power, and weighted carries to ensure you can move under load. It is about preparing your nervous system and muscles for the unexpected. ### My Training Philosophy * **Foundation First:** Before we hit pads, we condition the muscles. Strong shoulders block strikes; strong legs keep your balance. * **No Excuses:** Whether we are doing wall walk-ups or circuit training, the goal is mental toughness as much as physical gains. One rep at a time, even on the days you feel like skipping. * **Adaptability:** I design circuits that mimic the fatigue you’d feel in a real confrontation. You aren't just working out; you’re pressure-testing your body. Join me at the Sanshinkan MMA Studio or Kombat Hall for sessions that prioritize practical, raw strength. We do, we learn, and we grow. ## About Anamika Singh Kalsi I am Anamika, a mother and martial artist who believes in being ready for anything.
