How to get a gymnast’s body like Tiger Shroff
New Delhi, April 4 (IANS) If you are someone who can’t get over actor Tiger Shroff’s fit body in his current release “Baaghi 2”, then you can transform yourself with some basic martial art techniques.
Siddharth Singh, Mixed Martial Arts Trainer for the brand Reebok, guides beginners with tips and tricks to become the next “Baaghi”
* Training in gymnastics is a must to help develop muscle coordination, flexibility and strength. The key, however, is starting gymnastics early because, with age, muscle flexibility reduces, and the chances of injuries increase manifold.
* For a well-chiselled body like Tiger’s, one needs to train religiously and eat multiple high-protein meals in small quantities through the day. Instead of focusing on the “how much weight one can lift or the intensity of the workout”, one should focus on the consistency of training. A good mix of hard training and healthy diet (along with a bunch of supplements) will give the desired results.
* While a lot of emphasis is laid on flashy and high-flying moves, in real-life situations, four key martial arts are all that are needed in hand-to-hand combat” boxing, Muay Thai, wrestling and Brazilian jiu jitsu.
* Boxing gives the ability to use ones most dexterous limbs to devastating effect.
* Muay Thai is a brutal martial art from Thailand, incidentally also their national sport. The form involves punches, kicks, elbows, knees and clinches.
* Wrestling is based on taking the opponent to the ground as quickly and effectively as possible.
* Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art which uses the concept of technique and leverage beating brute strength. BJJ uses joint locks, choke holds, leg locks — all of which are essential as most fights end up on the ground.
Rajiv Khati, another a martial arts practitioner, too lists some benefits of martial arts.
* Since martial arts are skill-based, they not only make our bodies fitter, but also prime our minds.
* It is a complete discipline as it trains you to fight both standing up and when on the ground.
Commenting on the role played by mainstream cinema in promoting the fitness form, he said: “Just like rock music in India became popular after movies like ‘Rock On’, mainstream cinema can help MMA (Mixed Martial art) grow in India. However, it has to be done responsibly and audiences need to be educated in the right way. Having said that, a film star endorsing it will definitely drive more people into this fitness form.”

International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.
Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.
The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.
Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile
The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.
The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.
“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.
Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings
Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.
Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).
Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.
The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.
Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.
Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities
The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.
On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.
Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.
“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.
The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
