“My principal motto is to promote global peace through the timeless values of discipline, unity and the rich heritage of traditional martial arts. Guided by the belief that humanity is one family — Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam — we remain devoted to nurturing good health and a sound mind for all humankind.”
Funaba is an indigenous Manipuri martial art whose name means “fight by mutual understanding” — built on discipline, respect and controlled self-defence, with harmony over aggression. It blends self-defence, physical conditioning, yog and character-building, and is aligned with the Fit India Movement and the CBSE Health & Physical Education framework, with a strong focus on women’s safety and empowerment.
