Nathan the little warrior in the water, on the mat

At just seven years old, Nathan Ramasar is already making waves in both taekwondo and swimming. A Standard One student at Exchange Presbyterian Primary School in Couva, Nathan has been training in taekwondo since the age of three at Impulse Martial Arts School in Chase Village, under the guidance of Sabum Rakesh Bissoon. Currently holding a yellow stripe belt, he is preparing to grade for his yellow belt this month. Nathan’s passion for taekwondo is evident in his achievements, including a bronze medal at WAKO TT 2023, silver and bronze at ITF Taekwondo 2024, and gold and bronze at ITF Taekwondo 2025. His love for the sport is matched by his enthusiasm for swimming, where he trains at Wave Swim School in Endeavour under coach Cardesha Lyons. Nathan’s parents, Naresh Ramasar and Shalini Maharaj, emphasize the importance of balance, discipline, and enjoying the journey rather than just focusing on winning. His grandmother, Sharon Maharaj, a retired teacher, also plays a crucial role in his academic and personal growth. Nathan’s story is a testament to the power of family support, hard work, and the joy of pursuing one’s passions.
