==Biography==<br />
<br />
===Early life===<br />
Bimoljit was born as Mayanglambam Bimoljit Singh to Mayanglambam Naren Singh and Mayanglambam Ongbi Shakuntala Devi at Kakching, Turel Wangma, which is located in Thoubal District of [[Manipur]]. He is the fifth Child of his parents, with three brothers and two sisters above him. When he was 13 years old, he was introduced to Kungfu and earned a black belt under Kshetrimayum Jugeshwar Singh. This was a time when martial arts was not a popular sport in the country, and with little encouragement of the sport, as well as being economically deprived, Bimojit faced many difficulties during his early days. Financial constraints even made him to be deprived of many opportunities to participate in National and International competitions, although being selected to compete in the sport. However, through sheer determination, Bimoljit was able to secure more than 40 Gold medals in various District, State, North-East India, and National Level martial arts competitions.<br />
<br />
===Breakthrough===<br />
Through some suggestions made by a gentleman at [[Guwahati]] bus station, Bimoljit went to [[Arunachal Pradesh]] in September 2002 to set up his own Kung-Fu training Institute and popularize the sport. Despite difficulties, he was able to set up a [[Kungfu]] Institute, named “Shaolin Kung-Fu Training School” in Naharagun, a town in the Himalayan foothills in Arunachal Pradesh, and by 2004, the institute got affiliated to Indian Wushu Federation for Arunachal Pradesh. This recognition and support allowed him to participate in various Wushu competitions, and recognition came early for him in 2004 itself, when he won Gold in the first All India Invitation National Wushu Championship held at Mandi, Himachal, in 60&nbsp;kg weight category. This brought him into the national limelight, and since then, his Wushu's career has taken off.<ref name="dnaindia1"/><br />
