Mr. N. Srinivasa Rao

Born on 31st December, 1973, Srinivas was 16, when the martial art that was later to become his whole life, first fascinated him. He decided then that he would take up training in Kung Fu and rise to the top, come what may. When he expressed his desire to train in this martial art, his parents far from showing an interest in the sport, vehemently opposed it and his mother forbade him to have any association with it. For Srinivas it seemed that the battle had been lost even before it was started. But then something inside told him that he should stand firm in his original decision and that was where his destiny lay. His determination and passion soon brought him the success he desired as he got his first 2 belts the very next year.

That same year he went for his first tournament which was conducted by the Open State Kick-Boxing Association in Hyderabad and secured the 1st place in that tournament thus beginning his career with a victory that was only to be the first of many many more.

In the years that followed Srinivas grew from strength to strength winning coveted medals in championships held by prestigious organisations. Two incidents occurred in the year 2000 which he will always remember for the rest of his life - one, he became National Champion for the second time and two, he became the youngest black belt holder.  Some of the many competitions he participated in are:

 
(1)

All India Full Contact Open Karate Championship conducted in 1995 by Dragon Tigers Chinese Kung-Fu Federation (India) - secured first place.

(2)

1st National Open Karate Championship conducted in 1996 by All India Immigrate Karate Do Federation - secured first place.

(3)

A. P. Open Karate Kung-Fu Competition conducted in 1997 by Suman Martial Arts Academy - secured first place.

(4)

II - National Open Karate Championship conducted in 1999, secured first place.

(5)

III - All India Open Karate Championship in 1999 conducted by Dragon Tigers Chinese Kung-Fu Federation (India) - secured first place - gold medal.

(6)

IV - National Karate Championship conducted in 2000 by Dragon Tigers Chinese Kung-Fu-Kick Boxing, India - secured first place - gold medal.

(7)

1st National Kung-Fu Karate Open Championship Trophy conducted in 2000 by Golden Dragon Chinese Kung Fu Federation of India - secured first place.

As a coach now, he strives to instill in his students the same determination which helped overcome every hurdle along the way, a passion for Kung Fu and he also teaches them to live by his standards. Second best will never be enough, because for him it doesn't mean near victory but a sure defeat. He has had 200 students out of which some have attained the highest belt i.e. black belt.

Srinivasa Rao is one of them, for even when he is long gone his foot-prints will remain firmly etched on the sands of time.
