Mr. Dhiman Hui is an ardent exponent and researcher of East Asian Close-range Combat systems and founder of the URBAN-COMMANDO system, a self-protection training programme for civilians. He was only 4 when he first started getting lessons in wrestling from his maternal grandfather who was an eminent freedom-fighter and a master wrestler specializing in Jambuvanti mallah and Jarasandhi-mallah wrestling styles. He travelled to Burma at age 7 with his family .....and that is when he got introduced to South-East Asian Bare-knuckle Boxing.

Mr. Dhiman Hui has acquired in-depth mastery over the SE Asian Bare-knuckle Boxing forms of Muay-Pama, Lahtwai and Muay-Tasao through years of bout-based training in Burma and northern Thailand.     SE Asian Bare-knuckle Boxing as practised in Burma and northern Thailand is so extreme in its root form, that there is a saying among elite professional fighters worldwide that says, “ Any fighter worth his salt should try SE Asian Bare-knuckle Boxing ,at least once in his life-time.........” .Most fighters from other parts of the world are simply scared to face-off a Muay-Pama or Lahtwai fighter , simply because of the fatalistic injuries such a fighter can inflict on his opponent in a bout.

Mr. Dhiman Hui has extensively studied Bare-knuckle Boxing and the ancient battle-field systems of Banshai, Jathurang, Krabi Krabong & Dabsangmu under tutelage of the Mwai-Bando monkhood system of Burma and northern Thailand. He has spent several years learning the combat systems living austere lives in monasteries in the jungles of Burma and northern Thailand.

The Wats (monasteries) that schooled him chiefly schooled the elite corps of the Thai military and also Burmese freedom fighters resisting the then military dictatorship in Burma . The other trainees included Special Ops. Soldiers from Western countries unofficially supporting uprisings against the war-crimes and genocide perpetrated by the Burmese military dictatorship.

The training process was extremely rigourous involving at least 20 full-scale bare-knuckle bouts everyday for each trainee after a gruelling 800m. mud-pit tread. The training regime was largely meant for single-handed survival with counter offence tactics using bare hands and non-firing weapons ,against heavily armed assailants in war situations.

Consequently for years Dhiman Hui also got extensively exposed to the US L.I.N.E. Combat System , the Royal Marines CQB System , and the Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife System through the Western soldiers that trained with him.

Apart from his extensive schooling in the intense SE Asian systems of Close-Quartes-Combat, Mr.Dhiman Hui was the 1st Indian to get a place for India in All Asia Level Kyokushin (old school) Championships in 1992, he was captain of the national team of India in old school Kyokushin for many years in the 90’s. Old school Kyokushin was founded by Sosai Masutatsu Oyama which was originally based on the fighting principles of the Japanese Samurai Warriors . Mr.Dhiman Hui has an unbroken Asian Record of ranking above Japanese Kyokushin monk-hood school fighters and beating multiple opponents twice his body-weight, in the presence of Sosai Msutatsu Oyama in 1992 in Open wt. Asian Kyokushin Tournament in Sri Lanka, following which Sosai Oyama announced him as “MUSHIN” meaning a warrior who does not fear death.

Mr. Dhiman Hui earned his Kyokushin black-belt grade from Sosai Masutatsu Oyama after a gruelling 40-men fight.

Out of his passion to test his close-range combat skills Mr.Dhiman Hui has extensively travelled across the S.E. Himalayas, pitting himself against hardcore tribal warriors of the mountain terrains like the Naga hunters, the Kukis and the Gorkhalis , experiences which contribute to his research in engineering an effective combat system suitable for every law-abiding human being on earth. Mr.Dhiman Hui feels that skills required in civilian ring fights are simply nursery compared to skills required to face-off the tribal warriors of the jungles trained to fight for survival on rough terrains and in hostile environments.

" Any fighter who has faced a “kukri” weilding Gorkha would vouch for this fact ", he says....

Wife of Dhiman Hui , SENSEI (Mrs.) TANIADHIMAN HUI is the 1st Indian woman to earn a black-belt in Kyokushin(old school) from Grandmaster Masutatsu Oyama.

SENSEI (Mrs.) TANIADHIMAN HUI is one of the pioneers in the world of Kyokushin in India. For those who do not know Kyokushin is considered one of the hardest form of combat sports in the civilian world. It derives its roots from the warrior code of the Samurai warriors of ancient Japan. Kyokushin tournaments traditionally had no weight divisions, meaning a 70 kg. competitor may have to face-off with a 100 kg. opponent. Women would have to fight men one after another, to pass gradation tests. TANIADHIMAN HUI popularly known as “ Tania Sensei ” on her own merits and grit fought her way to the top in Kyokushin and remained there with an unbroken record. She has trained 1000s of students and many of her students have earned places in Kyokushin tournaments at national and Asian levels.

But “ Tania Sensei ” always remained unconvinced about the effectiveness of conventional forms of martial arts in dealing with REAL LIFE ATTACKS. She always sensed that even the most respected forms of conventional martial arts/combat sports involving fancy spinning kicks, back flips and other showy maneuvers, are grossly ineffective when it comes to handling real-life assaultive attacks with sharp weapons and/or assaults by multiple attackers. Her senses told her ,skills learnt in conventional martial arts schools are good only for sports where one competes within rules against a single unarmed opponent ; such skills DO NOT WORK for self-protection in real life where nothing is rule-bound and where even death may happen within a few seconds.

She relentlessly quested for an answer till in 1990 ,through her would-be husband Dhiman Hui ,she got exposed to SE Asian Close Quarter Combat (CQC). Her quests were answered by her future husband DHIMAN HUI’s years of experience in jungle combat training, experimental face-offs with tribal warriors and encounters with armed anti-socials while defending innocent people in many places across the Indian sub-continent. It was revealed to SENSEI TANIADHIMAN HUI that the lessons her husband learnt since his childhood in the mountainous jungles of S.E. Asia , is the REAL DEAL..... it is not sports.....it is survival.......she sees why the elitest military today, from the richest nations do not spend time in plush martial arts training centres, but take pain to travel all the way to these remote mountainous areas of South-East Asia , to learn the ancient combat systems, which her husband trained in for all these 4 decades and continuing.

Today SENSEI (Mrs.) TANIADHIMAN HUI is a dedicated exponent of the ancient battlefield systems of South-East Asia which she learnt through her husband.

SENSEI (Mrs.) TANIADHIMAN HUI is a nationally respected figure for her outstanding work in training women in self-protection. The lessons she imparts are effective at incapacitating an attacker in real-life situations , the students learn to abandon flashy, complicated moves typical of most martial arts and rely on instincts.

She also had been an honorary instructor of the Commando unit of Kolkata Armed Police.

SENSEI (Mrs.) TANIADHIMAN HUI feels deeply moved seeing the near helpless plight of innocent people in the face of imminent physical threats. Violence and lack of physical security in general urban life, faced particularly by the average people, inability of the average people to avoid being victimized, the false sense of security the average person gets from learning conventional civilian martial arts .... all move her to the core.

“A soldier still has his weapons to rely upon even when he’s alone in danger, a civilian only has his own self.....” © Dhiman Hui
