New Delhi (India), September 25: Embarking on her taekwondo odyssey at the tender age of 13 within the halls of Vidyodaya English Medium High School in Palakkad, Kerala, Reshma Venu discovered her love for martial arts. What began as a casual game soon kindled a fervor that propelled her into the realm of professional athletes when she secured a coveted spot at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) Kerala at just 14 years old, laying the foundation for a remarkable transformation into a proficient taekwondo athlete.

Focused and driven, Reshma is now setting her sights on the 2024 Paris Olympics. Under the astute guidance of Indian national team coach and World Taekwondo certified level-2 coach, Sandeep Chauhan, at the revered MWS Taekwondo Academy in Ghaziabad, she tirelessly trains, aspiring to make her mark on the global stage.
Reshma’s motivation stems from her unwavering self-belief and disciplined lifestyle. Drawing strength from her love for her country and the encouraging words of her mother, she conquers challenges and strives for excellence.
