We’re building a culture, not just a fight gym. If you’re ready to trade your ego for hard work and genuine growth, you belong here.

The entire team at our in-house tournament. The energy and support from everyone, including competitors, teammates, and parents, was incredible.

We take our training seriously, but we don't always take ourselves seriously. Here's what happens when we catch someone "drilling" Jiu-Jitsu. We build skills, not drills.

We were happy to have pro MMA fighter Connor drop in for some rolls. Our doors are always open to dedicated martial artists who want to train hard.

There are no easy days at Reign MMA, and our team wouldn't have it any other way. Everyone here is on fire and ready to work.

January 1st, 2024. The first step towards any goal is showing up, and our team always shows up, ready to put in the work.

My intention is to create a new standard and a different culture for Jiu-Jitsu in India. Looking at this team, I know we are getting there.

The competition team is grinding hard as the season approaches. A few more days of this, and then it's time to have fun on the tournament mats.

Celebrating our 4th anniversary as a team. It's moments like these, sharing a cake after a hard training session, that build our bond.

Another great group shot of the team. We are a diverse community of people from all walks of life, united by our passion for Jiu-Jitsu.

About Team Over Ego: Our Community

Walk onto our mats at HBR Layout and you will notice the difference immediately. There is no posturing or 'who is the toughest' nonsense. Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned competitor, the focus here is on shared problem-solving. We train in the heat, we scramble hard, and we help our teammates improve because their progress makes the whole team sharper. Everyone is here to get better, and we hold each other to that standard every single day.

Why We Are Different

Most gyms rely on the instructor to tell you exactly how to move, hoping you memorize a move you might never use. We do the opposite. Our community is built on the Ecological Approach. This means we set up training 'games' that force you to solve problems in real-time. You aren't just copying me; you are discovering solutions that fit your specific body type and natural movement.

The 'No Ego' Culture

When we say 'no ego,' we mean it. You will not find people trying to prove themselves by hurting training partners. You will find people who are comfortable being uncomfortable. Our facility is non-AC for a reason: it forces you to focus on your breathing, your composure, and your resilience when you are tired. If you are looking for a place to cruise through easy workouts, this isn't it. If you are looking to be part of a team that celebrates the grind and supports each other through every tap and every win, you are in the right place.

Who Trains With Us

Our doors are open to anyone who is serious about their development. We have pro MMA fighters, working professionals, and complete beginners on the same mat. We are BJJ Globetrotters friendly because we believe in learning from everyone. If you show up, put in the work, and leave your ego at the door, you are one of us.

I’m Vighnesh. I don’t run a gym for people who want to pose in fight gear. I’m here to build a team that actually solves problems on the mat. We’ve stripped away the noise to focus on the ecological approach—you learn by doing, by fighting, and by figuring it out alongside people who push you to be better.
