At my academy in Gurugram, I coach you on the footwork and tactical decisions that turn a good player into a match-winner. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Here is a kick practice drill on the sand court. The key is to execute the kick with speed and then escape towards the center line even faster. Your exit speed must be double your movement speed to avoid the cover defenders.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/d983112e-0608-4aa4-ba89-0f1652dbd2a4) - [Video: This is the shoulder jark escape, a move that requires explosive power from the lower body.

In my sessions, I teach you to analyze the distance and defender's hand position in split-seconds, ensuring that when you execute a running hand touch, your escape path is already calculated. A raider's job is to score points under pressure, and that requires more than talent. It takes repetition. At my academy, we start by fixing your footwork, whether it is a toe touch or a running bonus attempt. I break down every move into two-step patterns so you understand exactly when to attack and when to pull back. We train on both sand and mat surfaces because a true raider must adapt to the conditions. You will practice the 'fake bonus' to trick your marker, and learn how to use the defender's own momentum against them when escaping a cover block. Remember, there is no shortcut to the Pro Kabaddi League. You will work on your explosive power in the morning and refine your tactical decision-making in the evening. I do not just teach you how to touch a defender; I teach you how to anticipate their ankle hold before they even move. If you are ready for the grind, you will find the platform here. ## About Mohit Narwal Kabaddi Academy I am Mohit Narwal, and I do not believe in quick fixes.
