Heritage & Evolution
The Art of War in Sports
Ring Fight, locally known as "Piddigudulata", is an ancient Telangana tradition originating from the Holi festival. Historically, it began with ropes made fromfiber from trees, where warriors would test their strength across three borders.
Under the visionary leadership of Tadem Ravi Kumar, this raw test of strength has been transformed into a disciplined, high-performance combat sport since 2012. It is now an organized "Art of War" in sports, connecting tradition with the modern ring.
