Mixing It Up With Jiu-Jitsu

Siddharth Singh's foray into combative sports started at the tender age of 12, when he donned boxing gloves for the first time in his boarding school. Since then, he has followed his pugilistic passion with great zeal and fervour. In his quest to consistently improve his combative skills, he also learned Muay Thai during a brief stay in Scotland for his higher studies. However, taking up Brazilian jiu-jitsu had never occurred to him until a serendipitous moment transpired at his mixed martial arts gym in Scotland.

One day, Siddharth's coach requested him to spar with a female jiu-jitsu trainee, who was grappling to find an opponent. Though reluctant at first, he agreed to the coach's request. The next ten seconds would change his life forever. Despite weighing almost double his opponent, Siddharth scarcely managed to last before being pinned down and choked to unconsciousness.
