We have iron weights, heavy bags, and a lot of sweat. Our training is entirely functional, meaning we focus on compound movements like deadlifts, squats, and grip-building rope climbs to prepare your body for the physical demands of combat sports. In the cage, your strength is worthless if it does not translate into fight IQ and endurance. My functional strength program is designed to build the engine you need to survive rounds and execute techniques when you are exhausted. ### The Garage Setup We train in a raw, functional gym setup at VAJRA MMA. It is hot, it is basic, and it works. By stripping away the distractions of a commercial gym, you learn to focus on the movement. We use non-calibrated barbells and iron plates because that is what moves real weight. ### Core Methodology - **Compound Lifts:** We rely on heavy squats, overhead presses, and deadlifts. These build the raw power required for takedowns and clinch work. - **Fighter Conditioning:** We do not just run on treadmills. We use smash balls, HIIT circuits, and agility drills to ensure your cardiovascular system can keep up with your brain. - **Functional Variety:** You will see Turkish get-ups for stability, steel mace training for rotational power, and partner-resistance drills. Every movement serves a purpose in your fight strategy. ### Mindset Over Muscle Training with me means embracing discomfort. There will be days when you want to quit, but that is when the real fighter is built. If you are looking for a place to look pretty in the mirror, this is not it. If you are looking to become a stronger, more capable athlete, we will get it done. ## About Kapil Gupta Main Kapil hoon.
