MA (Hindi)B.Com (Taxation)Diploma — NSNIS PatialaData AnalystPro Boxing Coach

"Boxing is not just about throwing punches. It's understanding geometry, psychology, and the architecture of the human body in motion. I approach every fighter as a unique data set."

My journey began with an analytical mind — a B.Com in Taxation — approaching the science of boxing differently: breaking every technique, stance, and style into measurable, teachable components.
The turning point came with my Diploma from NSNIS Patiala — the National Sports Institutes of India. My MA in Hindi sharpened my ability to communicate complex technique with clarity.
Back in Vijayawada, I founded Boxing in Shadow Sports Fitness Club with one mission: world-class boxing coaching, systematic and deeply personalised.

The Five Finger Philosophy

Like five fingers forming a fist — each style locks together. Find your dominant finger, then build the rest.

The Complete Fighter

When all five fingers close — you become the fist.

We identify your dominant style, build your strengths, then systematically develop all five fingers. Result: a complete, adaptable, dangerous athlete.

3-Key Scoring System (Rule 7.2)

World Boxing uses the Ten-Point Must System. Three criteria decide each round:

01 — Number of Scoring Blows
Clean hits with knuckle surface on legal target area, with body/shoulder weight behind them.
02 — Technical & Tactical Superiority
Effective aggression, ring control, disrupting rhythm, defensive skill including slipping and parrying.
03 — Competitiveness
Continuous initiative, active engagement and clear intention to win.

Chest from collarbone down to beltline
Sternum, ribcage, sides of torso up to armpits
Abdominal region above the beltline; sides down to top of hips
