About this collection
We do not train in a vacuum. Our "Boxing Club Wars" and consistent participation in sanctioned regional events like the Phenomenal Invitational Series ensure you experience real-world ring pressure long before you step into an official bout. You will learn to handle physical intensity, manage your breathing under observation, and fight opponents from other academies, rather than just training against the same familiar partners in your home gym.
Beyond Theory: The Competitive Pathway
Our approach is grounded in the belief that to teach or lead, you must be willing to step into the ring yourself. While we offer casual fitness programs, this cluster focuses on our competitive track. Whether you are aiming to become a certified boxing coach or want to test your skills in the ring, we provide the platform to do it.
Technical Officiating and Ring Experience
Unlike standard gyms that stop at bag work, we integrate the full spectrum of the sport:
- Judging and Refereeing: As part of our 2-year Diploma program, students learn the official rules of engagement, scoring criteria, and how to officiate bouts. This gives you a complete understanding of how fights are won and lost.
- Tournament Preparation: We regularly field fighters for events including the Bengaluru Open MMA Championship and regional kickboxing title fights. Our training methodology emphasizes tactical striking, defensive movement, and stamina, specifically tailored for 3-round or 5-round professional bouts.
- Facility Advantage: Classes are held at St. Francis High School grounds in Koramangala. This outdoor, cement-surface environment with heavy mats forces fighters to adapt their footwork and movement compared to cushioned indoor studios, preparing you for the reality of diverse fighting venues.
Why We Compete
Competition is the ultimate test of training. By consistently participating in events like the Phenomenal Invitational Series, our fighters gain the mental fortitude that cannot be taught through drills alone. You learn how to control your nerves, execute techniques under pressure, and respect the opponent across from you—the core pillars of a true martial artist.
The School of Martial Arts
I am Ashwin, founder of TSMA. I have been on this mat since 1998, and I still strap on my gloves to compete alongside my students. We believe that if you want to learn, you must be willing to step into the ring yourself, and I lead by example.
