For Piyush Gurung, joining Crosstrain Fight Club became much more than starting a combat sport. It became a journey of confidence, personal growth and learning.
After spending around one and a half years at Crosstrain, Piyush has earned two stripes on his White Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and says his experience has helped him grow both on and off the mats.
In his testimonial, Piyush shares how he discovered Crosstrain, what brought him into combat sports and why he now sees the academy as much more than a gym.
Piyush did not come from a combat sports background.
He describes himself as a skinny kid who used to play football. Although he enjoyed the sport and considered himself a good player, he felt that he lacked physical strength.
That changed when he discovered combat sports.
Piyush came across a video of Anshul Jubli, an Indian UFC fighter, competing. After watching Anshul, he wanted to know where he trained.
His search led him to Crosstrain Fight Club in Saket, Delhi.
That discovery eventually brought Piyush through the doors of Crosstrain.
Piyush has now spent approximately one and a half years training at Crosstrain Fight Club.
During that time, he has progressed in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and earned two stripes on his White Belt.
For someone who had never come from a combat sports background, the journey has been about more than learning techniques.
Piyush says that he has gained confidence and developed in ways he did not expect when he first started.
One of the strongest parts of Piyush’s story is how he describes Crosstrain.
For him, it is not simply a place to learn combat sports.
He talks about learning Jiu Jitsu, wrestling and striking, but says the experience has gone beyond those skills.
Piyush believes Crosstrain has helped him grow his overall personality and confidence.
That makes his experience different from simply joining a gym for fitness.
Piyush also speaks about the influence of his coaches.
He specifically talks about Siddharth, whom he says he admired and learned from during his time at Crosstrain.
He explains that he observed the way his coach communicated and carried himself, and that this helped him become more confident.
For Piyush, coaching is not only about learning techniques.
It is also about learning from the people around you and taking those lessons outside the training environment.
Combat sports training can develop more than physical skills.
For Piyush, the lessons have extended beyond the mats.
He says that his personality has grown and that he has developed more confidence through his time at Crosstrain.
This is one of the reasons he describes the academy as more than a gym.
You may come to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
You may come to train wrestling or striking.
But the experience can also influence how you approach discipline, confidence and personal development.
Piyush’s story began with watching an Indian MMA fighter.
Seeing Anshul Jubli compete made him curious about where the fighter trained, which eventually led him to Crosstrain.
For someone new to combat sports, seeing athletes compete at a high level can provide motivation and show what is possible with consistent training.
Piyush’s own journey started with that curiosity and has since developed into more than one and a half years of training.
Not everyone who joins a combat sports academy has the same goal.
Some people want to improve their fitness.
Some want to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Others are interested in wrestling, striking or MMA.
Some eventually want to compete.
Piyush’s experience shows that you do not need to come from a combat sports background to begin.
He started as a football player with no previous combat sports experience and found a new direction through training.
Crosstrain Fight Club brings together training in MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, boxing and kickboxing, creating a multidisciplinary environment for people with different goals.
With Crosstrain serving athletes across Noida, Delhi and Faridabad, people looking for MMA training in Delhi NCR, BJJ training in Noida, wrestling training in Delhi NCR, boxing classes in Faridabad or kickboxing training in Delhi NCR can explore the different training options available.
The focus is on developing skills while creating an environment where people can continue to grow.
Piyush Gurung’s story is a reminder that you do not need to know exactly where combat sports will take you before you start.
He came from football.
He was unsure about his future.
He discovered MMA through an Anshul Jubli fight video.
He found Crosstrain.
And after one and a half years, he says he has gained skills, confidence and personal growth.
His journey is still continuing.
More than training. More than the mats. A journey of growth.
