Sohail Khan Podcast Interview: Once Rusticated from School, Now a 19-time National Kudo Champion

Sohail Khan is a 19-time national champion in a martial art known as kudo, and has also represented India in the World Kudo Championships. In a nation of a billion people, he is without doubt the best practitioner of a martial art that hasn't quite gained the recognition or popularity that disciplines like karate, judo or taekwando have. But Sohail's journey to being a multi-time national champion in the sport has been anything but straightforward and in this exclusive interview in the Republic SportFit podcast, Sohail shows us all a glimpse of that journey.
Sohail's life was, in many ways, defined by the fact that he was rusticated from school when in Class 5. Here he talks about the details of the issue that led to his rustication and how it is he dealt with it all.
He also opens up on how his parents were the ones most affected by the incident and how it felt to see them in a situation wherein they were having to explain why it is he was not going to school.
He also talks about the sport of kudo and his journey from being a kid who loved martial arts to becoming someone whose name became synonymous with the sport in India.
Sohail also touches upon India's recent showings in both the 2024 Olympics as well as Paralympics, offering both praise at the progress that was made as well as advising words of caution in how to perceive this new-found success.
This also leads him to touch upon India's sporting culture as a whole and how, in this nation, it is often tough to convince people to take sports beyond cricket seriously - mainly because India doesn't have an ingrained sporting culture.
He also shed some light on the various methods he uses to keep his fitness at its peak, an important aspect of any sport but more so for someone whose preferred sport revolves around being able to out-fight an opponent.
