Praveen + a Black Tigers champion · Yin Yang Fight Night
Black Tigers was built around one belief — that real fitness is forged the same way fighters are. Praveen Raj has competed internationally for India in kickboxing and continues to officiate MMA at federation level. Every batch on this floor runs to the same standard he held himself to.
"Fight is discipline before it is violence. We don't build aggression — we build composure under pressure." — Praveen Raj · Head Coach
Officiating · PRIMAL Nationals

Our heritage sport. Coached personally by Praveen Raj — international medalist. Punches, kicks, knees, footwork. The discipline the gym was built around.

The art of eight limbs — elbows, knees, clinch and trips. Heavy-bag and pad-work centric. Builds the toughest shins and the calmest mind in the gym.
Combat-specific programming — explosive power, work capacity, mobility, injury-proofing. Open to fighters and general members alike.
