You will practice Gada (mace) swings and rope climbing drills, building the functional, raw strength that supports you inside and outside the akhada. We operate on the principle that wrestling is a way of life, not just a sport. Our head coach Sandip Dalavi, who is NIS certified, leads every session with a focus on discipline and technique. You will train in both environments: the traditional Lal Mati (red soil) pit for building endurance and grip, and the modern blue mats for freestyle competition drills. Beginners learn the basics of stance and movement, while advanced students focus on high-amplitude throws and scoring strategies. Our batches are inclusive, welcoming children and adults who want to learn the art of Kusti. We incorporate traditional calisthenics like Sapaates (Hindu pushups) and Baithaks (squats) alongside modern weight training. Each student receives personal attention to ensure their progress matches their dedication. Whether you aim for the state level trials or want to improve your overall fitness, we provide the environment and the mentorship to help you grow. We maintain a family atmosphere, where senior wrestlers support the juniors, carrying forward the values of respect and hard work that define our sport. ## About Jai Hanuman Kusti Akhada We are Jai Hanuman Kusti Akhada.
