Fit4Grit Academy was founded from my 12 years of countless hours of practice and deep-rooted passion for martial arts, where I earned my second-degree black belt in Taekwondo and a first degree in Self Defense. As an international martial art competitor and avid practitioner, I knew that I had found a sport that I enjoyed learning, watching, and practicing. Before the pandemic, however, I never knew how deep my love for teaching martial arts went, even as I had done it for 3 years prior. Founded from a need to help my younger cousins stay active during the difficult initial days of the lockdown, I discovered my own skill and joy in teaching martial arts. It became clear that imparting my knowledge gained over the years and sharing the many benefits of learning martial arts and self-defense, I had found a new avenue to grow my passion. I have expanded Fit4Grit to reach hundreds of students in India and the US through free real-time virtual classes and recorded videos.
