Inside Our Akhada: A Community of Pailwans in Navi Mumbai
At Jai Hanuman Kusti Akhada, I don't just teach wrestling; I build a family. Walk through our doors in Sanpada and see the community where the next generation of Pailwans is born.

Wrestling connects people across cultures. Here I am with one of our students meeting a Japanese sumo wrestler at the Gateway of India during a cultural exchange.

About Community & Our Akhada
When you step into my akhada in Sanpada, you aren't just joining a gym. You are entering a space where the lal mati (red soil) connects us to generations of Pailwans before us. We train together, eat together, and push each other, creating a brotherhood that goes far beyond the wrestling mat.
Since 2018, my akhada in Sanpada has been more than a training center—it is a community. We believe that true strength comes from the roots, which is why we keep the 'lal mati' (red soil) tradition alive alongside modern mat training.
Whether you are a young student or a senior wrestler, you will find your place here. We don't just drill techniques; we focus on the discipline that a true Pailwan needs for life. From our morning sessions at 5:30 AM to the evening batches, we maintain a routine that builds character.
I see parents bringing their children to learn not just the sport, but the grit of the ground. We have wrestlers of all ages training side-by-side, supporting each other like brothers. It is an open, welcoming environment. When you join us, you are joining a family. We hold each other accountable, share struggles, and celebrate every win, no matter how small. If you are looking for serious wrestling training in Navi Mumbai that values human connection as much as medals, this is where you belong.
