Martial arts is more than just trophies. It is about discipline, technique, and staying ready for life. My journey has been about proving that with the right guidance, anyone can find their inner strength.

I am grateful to have received the 'Best MMA Coach' award at the Mumbai Achievers Awards 2023. This is for my team and my students.

Receiving the 'Best MMA Coach' award from the Times of India. It's a proud moment that reflects years of hard work in the world of martial arts.

A throwback to the Abu Dhabi Kickboxing championship in 2004, where I was named the Best Fighter. My own competitive career is the base of my coaching.

This was in 2007, receiving a 'Best Fighter' award in MMA after defending my title belt. The journey of a fighter is long and full of challenges.

Attending an awards function. Being part of the martial arts community and recognizing the achievements of others is very important to me.

A golden memory from a demonstration at Saboo Siddik College. Sharing my knowledge and passion for martial arts with the youth is something I always enjoy.

About My Journey: Awards & Achievements

These awards and competition wins are proof of the techniques I pass on to my students every day. When you train with me, you are not learning theoretical moves, but practical skills that I have tested in professional rings and taught to hundreds of students across my Mumbai dojos. Whether you want to compete or just get fit, the core principles remain the same.
