“Courage is not the absence of fear but the triumph over it”
Meet Subhash Gokul Patil, a world class Taekwondo Coach with numerous achievements and a zeal to make world class taekwondo players. Taekwondo was never on his mind as a child. He was ambitious to become an Inspector. He joined IPS Mumbai in 1999 and got encouraged by President of Taekwondo Maharashtra Association to play his first taekwondo Championship. He got his first break in 2004 when he was selected as the coach for junior India team in Olympics. In the same event, he won his first gold medal when he participated in Taekwondo Masters’ World Championship.
His achievement motivated him to train himself under the guidance of International coaches for one month in gyms and clubs in Korea. He did his referee certification from Israel in 2009 and was selected as referee in the 2010 Commonwealth Games. There was no looking back after this. He was chosen referee for Commonwealth games held in 2014 and 2018 respectively. He was awarded the best referee in 2014 in Scotland.
“Karnala Sports Academy is where I found my inspiration” says Subhash. Apart from selecting and training at least 20-25 children from Raigad district every year, he conducts self- defence workshops for women and corporate employees all across rural and urban Mumbai areas. He is known for mentoring international and Olympic level champions from junior and senior categories.
“Taekwondo is not only an art but a necessity in the current world. I believe that every woman should know this art of self- defence.”
Subhash feels a sense of pride when he comes to know of stories where his women disciples have defended themselves in ugly situations.
When we asked Subhash in what way has taekwondo evolved over a period of time?
He says “taekwondo has come a long way. We see many young girls learning self- defence these days. Over a period of time the sport has swept its way through many rural areas, institutes, schools and colleges. Our international achievers reserve 5% sports quota throughout their education”.
According to Subhash the key attributes to learn taekwondo are discipline, respect and mental preparation. It is the best stamina building sport accompanied with strength and fitness.
His passion towards the art has taken him to every nook and corner of the world. He expresses his complete gratitude to Mr Vivek Patil, founder of Karnala Sports Academy for being a strong support throughout his career. Subhash has completed many refresher courses from time to time and kept himself up to date with the latest skills.
Subhash wants to live his dream of getting gold for India in Olympics and also getting selected as a referee in the next Olympics to be held in 2020.
Karnala Sports Academy is proud to be associated with Subhash Gokul Patil!!
