Medals are the result of discipline, not just talent. See how our Pailwans from Sanpada train to win at state and national levels.

I am incredibly proud of my students' achievements. Here I am with our young champions after they won four gold medals and one silver at the Mumbai divisional school wrestling competition.

A proud moment for our Akhada. Our young wrestlers and their families celebrating the victories at the Mumbai divisional school wrestling competition.

About Our Champions: Celebrating Success

Every medal displayed here is the outcome of a rigorous routine, not a shortcut. Before our students stand on a podium at the Students Olympic Games or divisional meets, they spend months mastering the basics—hundreds of sapate (burpees), baithak (squats), and endless mat sparring sessions under the guidance of our NIS-certified Vastaad.

At Jai Hanuman Kusti Akhada, we believe that victory is a byproduct of character. When you look at the achievements of our young Pailwans like Parth Dhananjay Mane or Tanvi Vibhute, you are seeing the result of a training system that values consistency over everything else.

We bridge the gap between traditional lal mati (red soil) wrestling, which builds raw power and connection to our roots, and modern mat wrestling, which requires technical precision for tournaments. Our training, held at our Sanpada facility in Navi Mumbai, is designed to be holistic.

What happens in the akhada?

  • Technical Drills: We focus on stance, defensive holds, and throws that actually work in competitive scenarios.
  • Physical Conditioning: We use desi equipment alongside modern drills like rope climbing and tire flips to build endurance.
  • Mental Toughness: We incorporate meditation and shantata (calmness) because a strong wrestler knows how to control their mind as much as their body.

We are proud of our medalists, but we are equally proud of every student who walks in, learns the value of discipline, and builds a foundation for lifelong fitness. Whether you are a beginner looking to start your journey or a competitive wrestler aiming for state titles, we provide the coaching and the community to help you get there.

I am Sandip Dalavi, and I believe wrestling is jivan (life). I don't just train kids to win medals; I train them to be disciplined Pailwans who are ready for any challenge life throws at them.
