News Stardom : Kolkata, 11th. November, 2022: 15-year-old Trishit Chakraborty is a Karate champion who began training at the age of five. An all-rounder at Shiny International School, Kolkata, he has not only competed in various Karate championships but has also held a rank in the 10th Bijoy Krishna Memorial Karate Championship Karate Competition. Being a silver medal winner of this renowned competition hosted by Seishinkai Academy of Martial Arts and recognized by the All India Seishinkai Shito- Ryu Karate Do Federation, Trishit has established himself as a young master of the art.
Being a passionate student of Karate has helped Trishit develop confidence and strong mental fortitude. The hours that he puts in training, which includes following the right diet, has helped him develop immense focus and discipline while giving him the necessary physical and mental exercise needed to be healthy. Overall, Karate has shaped Trishit into an empathetic, confident, and curious young man who wants to do good for the world.
Recognizing his passions, Trishit’s parents enrolled him in BYJU’S while he was in class seven, enabling him to balance both Karate and academics. With conceptual videos and content offered by the app, he has been able to not only satiate his curiosity but also learn more about several topics within Zoology. This has helped him find a path to strengthen his academics, which will eventually help him pursue his passion. At the same time, learning with BYJU’S gives him enough room to practice and master his passion for Karate at his own pace.
Speaking of his achievements, Trishit’s mother said, “While we always nudged him to play a sport, we as his parents also wanted to ensure that his academics received equal attention. WithBYJU’S he has found a path to strengthen his academics and balance his other passions. BYJU’S has truly provided him with skilled teachers and all the relevant content presented in engaging ways, which makes studying enjoyable for him. As his mother, I can safely say that our decision to enrol him with the app has been a good one!”
