Summer Camp 2018 · Rangolipet · Medal presentation
Newspaper coverage, tournament medals, government school success, women’s self-defence programmes — and the lineage behind the coaching at Yhodha.
Each item below is drawn from published coverage and academy records. Names are listed as they appeared in reports.
Students from Rangolipet government school pathways received medals and certificates after a martial arts summer camp (2018). Teachers and staff presented awards at the school function. Coverage highlighted disciplined participation by children and support from the school leadership.
Press coverage of multi-day Shaolin Kung Fu training noted leadership under Master J. Ajay Kumar. Students trained in connection with teaching from the lineage of 34th-generation Shaolin monk Shi Yan Du (Master Sridhar). Certificates were associated with senior instructors including references to Master J. Santosh Kumar in programme notes. Guests and organisers from the local sports and cultural network attended presentation segments.
Regional press spotlighted seven young trainees who secured results in Kung Fu competition, with school and coaching support acknowledged. The feature framed the win as a collective effort between students, school staff, and coaches.
Coverage of government school students (including batches connected to Nalgonda / Rangolipet pathways) recorded podium finishes across Kung Fu and related categories. Teachers were photographed presenting certificates. The story emphasised access: structured martial arts reaching students outside private-only gym culture.
At a district-level Kung Fu tournament (Phalguni coverage), students from Rangolipet Nalgonda government school pathways won medals across events. Press explicitly credited coaching by Master Ajay and Master Uday, noting students’ preparation and sparring discipline.
Follow-on coverage showed Nalgonda-linked students again on the podium, certificates and medals in hand, with coaches and school associates present. The narrative stayed consistent: regular training, not occasional participation.
Press covered women’s self-defence oriented programmes connected to public awareness efforts. Coverage associated the initiative with senior public figures in attendance at related events (including references to leadership presence such as Home Minister Nayani and MLA participation in the broader self-defence / women’s safety discourse of that period). The academy’s role has included practical workshops for women — including institutional settings in later years (e.g. hospital staff workshops in Begumpet).
Coverage of national-level Kung Fu federation competition pathways highlighted Nalgonda / academy-linked students securing medals. Masters Ajay and Uday were credited for preparation. Group photographs show students with certificates, medals, and coaching staff.
Recognition is not only medals. It is who taught the coach, and which pathways serious students can grow into.
Yhodha’s method remains the same on ordinary training days as on medal days: perfect the drill; sparring is a test. Press clippings above are historical record — the daily standard is still stance, control, and honest coaching in Begumpet.
