District Kickboxing Championship

Nakul Tajne, our star performer, has yet again impressed us with his performance. He won a gold medal in Point Form category, a silver medal in Musical Form category, and a bronze medal in Light Contact Form category. 
Harsh Jadhav, too, exhibited an outstanding performance. He bagged two medals; a gold medal in  Point Fight category, and a bronze medal in Musical Form category.

Mr. Tushar Pawar, the sports teacher and coach, is happy with the way his champs have performed. “They have been practicing really hard for the past 7-8 months,” he says. “The regular practice of focused pad workout, body bending, kick balancing, running, meditation and fighting practice has helped to improve their game a lot.”  
He believes that all of them have the potential to represent India at the highest level.

We really hope that happens and can’t wait to see that! But, for now, it’s the next level that all our kick boxers are focusing on. And, for that, we wish them more strength and good luck.
