About us
Kshastra Academy was born in 2008 with a simple yet powerful vision — to use martial arts not only as a sport, but as a tool to build discipline, confidence, character, and courage in society.
At a time when martial arts was still misunderstood and opportunities were limited, Sensei Mayank Dogra chose a path of purpose over comfort. With minimal resources but unlimited determination, he began training students in small spaces, focusing not on fame or money, but on values, self-respect, and inner strength.
What started as a modest training initiative soon became a movement.
Through countless early mornings, late-night practice sessions, financial struggles, injuries, social resistance, and moments of doubt, Sensei Mayank Dogra remained unshaken. His belief was clear:
“If even one child becomes stronger, safer, and more confident, the struggle is worth it.”
Over the years, Kshastra Academy evolved into a respected institution for martial arts and sports education. Hundreds of students passed through its doors — children who lacked confidence, youth searching for direction, and individuals seeking discipline and purpose.
Many became athletes.
Many became trainers.
Many became responsible citizens.
But more importantly, they became fearless, focused, and self-aware human beings.
As the academy grew, its mission expanded beyond medals and competitions. Sensei Mayank Dogra realized that true victory lies in service to society. This realization gave birth to initiatives for:
Women and child self-defense training
Free workshops in schools and communities
Awareness programs on safety and discipline
Talent identification and athlete support
Building ethical sports culture in India
These efforts later became the foundation of what is now known as Kshastra Foundation — a larger ecosystem serving education, safety, sports, and community empowerment.
Despite achievements, recognition, and growing influence, Sensei Mayank Dogra remained rooted in the same principles that started it all: hard work, humility, service, and discipline.
Today, Kshastra Academy stands as a symbol of what unwavering commitment can build.
It is not just a training center.
It is a sanctuary of strength.
It is a school of life.
And the journey continues…
With every new student who walks in uncertain and walks out confident.
With every child who learns to stand tall.
With every woman who learns to defend herself.
With every athlete who dares to dream beyond limitations.
From 2008 to today, Kshastra Academy is proof that when purpose leads, success follows.
And Sensei Mayank Dogra’s journey reminds us:
“True warriors are not measured by how hard they fight others, but by how strongly they fight for others.”
