He was interested in martial arts since childhood. When he was in class 5, he joined a Karate coaching in his hometown. In an interview, he said that when he started learning, he used to practice for just one period in school where they were taught basics, but after one year, he and one of his friends became serious about martial arts and started practising after school.

Initially, he started learning Karate, then he switched to kickboxing and finally he decided to learn Wushu when he was in class 7. He holds a black belt in Karate and kickboxing.
To afford his training, he used to do farming, fishing and selling bananas because the training was very expensive. After doing this, he used to go to college and attend lectures and later, he used to do training.
After he started his graduation in 2010, he learned Wushu professionally and moved to Kashmir for training. He took training under his coach Kuldeep Kumar Handoo who is an Arjuna Award winner. In an interview, he talked about training under him and said,
I go to Kashmir to practice under Hundu almost every year. I generally stay there for a long time and at that time I get an opportunity to improve my endurance, fitness, speed, and strength through training on the mountain. Wushu is a game that is similar to all the games such as kickboxing, martial arts, and boxing. So, I need to develop all these ingredients.”

He was the first person in his village to choose sports as his career. In an interview, he revealed that when he was selected for team India, many people asked him what Wushu was because they had not heard much about the game. The reason for leaving Kerala was that there were very less opportunities for eclectic combat sports.
He is also a pro fighter in KAKO (Keranadu Association of Kickboxing Organizations). He became the national champion in kickboxing in 2015 when he played for the Indian Association of Kickboxing.
In 2017, he started playing for Jammu and Kashmir Sports Council and Jammu and Kashmir Wushu Association. He has played for other associations including Kerala State Sports Council and Sports Authority of India.

Sana developed feelings for him and expressed her love by giving him her favourite guitar as a gift. At first, he turned down her proposal. However, as they continued to spend time together during their all-India travel, they became good friends. check sources The Times of India He further said,
We went to her home in Punjab, we had an all-India travel. The bond got deeper and she proposed to me again. Even then, I didn’t give her a yes. But, the next day, I rushed to her camp and apologized to her. The scene I was seeing was, she is standing in front of a table with new weapons, guns, and more. She was getting ready for a mission and bid her goodbye. I told all my friends that I am going to propose to her. I even bought a ring. Days passed and I came to know that she got killed. She was hit by a bullet on her forehead and she is no more. I was sad that I shouldn’t tell my love to her. But, I was proud that she has sacrificed her life for our country. While I was writing this, I recollected the moment of hugging her Indian Flag clad dead body.”
He finds training in cities easier than training in villages where there is no equipment available. In an interview, giving an example of this, he said that when he was in the village, he used to run on sand which was much more difficult than running on a treadmill.
He also works as a martial arts/fitness trainer for several celebrities, including Shafna, Roshan Basheer, Prayaga Martin, and Amith Chakalakkal.
In an interview, he said that he wanted to help kids in his village. He aspires to open his own sports school in the village. In his hometown, he trains about 70 students out of which, 5 have already won national-level medals.
According to his Facebook posts, he is the brand ambassador of Absolute Nutrition and Garmin.
