• If you had to think of a role model for your work, who do you think of & why?

  I have two role models, not in any order. First - Lokesh Rajan who is a competitive rock climber who always got podium finishes as a youth, took a break while juggling teaching and earning and came back from a hiatus to do it all again. He's very inspiring and motivating. Second - Avilash Tongbram who is a goat MMA coach. His teachings simplify MMA and fast tracks you through the process. He has deep understanding of the subject and he helps u achieve goals way faster than u otherwise would

• Tell us about your hobbies outside teaching.

  Outside teaching I am into my own fitness. That apart I like cooking

• Do you have an anecdote to tell us about your student or professional life?

  One of my clients signed up for PT wanting to improve his performance in Squash. On one splits I used to make him do reaction drills which were partner drills. I gave him something to chase and catch up with. Over a course of time it so happened that his reactions were as speedy as mine and I had to abandon partner drills and incorporate other drills to keep him improving! Well everyone starts somewhere and can always progress with consistency.
