  • At the age of 6, he started his training as a boxer in his father’s boxing academy. At the age of 8, the boxing academy was shut down due to his father’s financial crisis.
  • At the age of 7, he used to visit a gym in his village where he observed a few boys doing weightlifting. He started developing an interest in weightlifting from there. During an interview, while talking about it, he said,

    I used to watch boys training at a gym near my house. They used to lift weights. It excited me. That’s what gave me the encouragement I needed to try my hand at the sport. I approached those boys in the gym and asked them if they can teach me how to lift. I started doing it and started lifting weights with perfection. May be God wanted me to become a weightlifter someday.”

  • He then decided to take professional training in weightlifting and approached Malsawma Khiangte (his first coach) for training. During an interview, he talked about it. He said,

    I approached Malsawma. He is the one who gave me professional weightlifting lessons. He used to ask me to bring a bamboo and asked me to lift it slowly. Those were 5m long and 20mm wide. There was no weight on them, but it was actually tough to lift a stick than a weight because you need to know how to balance it. It is quite tough. I practiced day and night, lifting bamboo sticks and learning the art of balancing.”

  • When he was 9 years old, the Army Sports Institute (ASI), Pune, selected him in talent scouting, and Jeremy then continued his training in weightlifting at ASI.
