I train people who want to become champions, not just hobbyists. Yahan sirf mehnat hoti hai (Here, only hard work happens). If you’re looking for shortcuts, better look somewhere else. ### Why Trust Me? I’m not just a coach - I’m a Delhi Games Lathi champion, gold medalist, and I’ve played and officiated at the national level. I know what it’s like to compete under pressure, and I bring that experience to every session. ### What You’ll Learn My training covers everything you need for Lathi Khel competition training and real-world self-defense with lathi: - Core techniques: stances, grips, strikes, blocks - Advanced footwork for combat - Sparring and drills for competition prep - Practical self-defense with stick-like objects ### The Mehnat Factor No fancy machines here. We build functional strength for martial arts using old-school methods: - Strength and stamina drills - Agility and endurance work - Rope climbing, Gada/Mugdar exercises ### Who Should Join? I welcome anyone serious about learning - kids, adults, athletes, armed forces, police, or anyone wanting authentic traditional Indian stick fighting. Discipline and hard work are non-negotiable. ### My Principle ‘Jang mein jaane wale ghode kabhi baraat mein nahi naachte!’ (War horses don’t dance at weddings). If you’re ready for real training, you’ll fit right in. ## Highlights Browse through Sikandar Phore's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/coach_sikandar_phore/lathi-sports-training/featured) - [Video: This is how we build champions.
