About this collection
You do not learn fighting from a textbook. When you join our programs, you train with instructors who are active competitors, holding national championship belts and maintaining current fight records. My team and I lead by example, ensuring that the techniques you master in our classes are proven in the ring, not just discussed in theory.
Experience That Speaks
Martial arts is a discipline defined by action, not just words. For over 26 years, The School of Martial Arts has operated on the philosophy that to teach effectively, one must stay connected to the sport. Whether it is our founder, Ashwin Naidu, or our black belt instructors like Ramesh Giri and Vinod Kumar, we consistently participate in regional and national championships. This allows us to keep our curriculum updated with the evolving nature of combat sports.
Official Affiliation and Standards
Your training carries weight because we operate within established professional frameworks. We are affiliated with WAKO India, which ensures that our boxing and kickboxing modules adhere to national standards. When you complete our 2-year 'Box-M' vocational diploma, you are not just getting a certificate. You are gaining a qualification that reflects rigorous training in judging, refereeing, and real-world ring mechanics. This makes our diploma a legitimate pathway for those looking to turn a passion for combat sports into a professional career.
The 'Box-M' Difference
Our flagship diploma program is designed for people who want to understand the sport from every angle.
- Comprehensive Curriculum: You cover stance, guard, defense, and offensive techniques alongside the theory of scoring and officiating.
- Practical Exposure: Students engage in shadow-judging and refereeing during internal sparring sessions.
- Verified Credentials: All certifications provided at the end of your tenure are recognized and respected within the martial arts community.
We invite you to join a community that values discipline, respects the history of the sport, and continuously tests its limits through consistent, hard-earned achievements.
