But did you die?
A Coach Built on Discipline and Passion
Meet Raghuram, a kickboxing coach who embodies discipline, passion, and resilience. Having discovered kickboxing after moving to Canada, Raghuram found not only a sport but a lifelong mentor in Mark Hominick. Together, they’ve built a legacy of empowerment through "Adrenaline", a gym franchise that continues to inspire individuals to embrace strength and confidence.
Kickboxing as a Transformative Journey
For Raghuram, kickboxing is more than a sport, it's a transformative journey. Once shy and reserved, he credits the sport for instilling confidence and helping him step out from behind the shadows. “Kickboxing taught me to face adversity, transfer knowledge, and connect with people who share the same hunger to grow,” he shares.
A Daily Commitment to Growth
His day begins with teaching, a routine he cherishes. Whether coaching students or honing his skills, Raghuram thrives in an environment fueled by purpose. He emphasises the importance of balance, incorporating active rest days with swimming, mobility exercises, or mindful walks to ensure longevity in his craft.
A Fighter’s Mindset
Raghuram dreams of stepping back into the ring soon, eager to test himself once again before age and wear catch up. However, his focus remains on nurturing a love for the fundamentals in his students. "Fighting isn’t about throwing punches; it’s about learning the basics and building a healthy relationship with the sport," he says.
Staying Grounded Through Support
Through it all, his biggest supporters, family, friends, and clients, keep him grounded. Their encouragement fuels his drive to stay consistent, even on the toughest days. For anyone hesitating to take the first step into the ring, Raghuram has one piece of advice: “Stop trying and start doing. That’s where transformation begins.”
