The Academy Family of Shri Balaji Kabaddi Academy
Kabaddi is not just a sport here, it is our way of life. At Shri Balaji Kabaddi Academy, my students are family, sweating together on our mud courts to build a future in the game.

Coaching is about teaching and guiding. Here I am on the ground, instructing our young players on the fundamentals of the game.
Leading by example. I am demonstrating a defensive stance to our junior players during a practice match on the mud court.
A quick strategy talk during a timeout. I am giving instructions to the team during a crucial moment in a tournament match.

About The Academy Family
We don't just train for medals here. Whether it is celebrating a birthday on the field or sitting together on the bus for an away tournament, we are there for each other. This is not a fitness center, it is a place where we earn our strength daily in the dhool-mitti.
Talent might get you noticed, but teamwork is what wins championships. That is the core philosophy at my academy. When you train with us, you are not just an athlete in a jersey, you are part of a brotherhood that practices, eats, and learns together.
Why Our Training Is Different
We don't rely on AC gyms or fancy shortcuts. We believe in the traditional grit of the mud court. Our training involves tire flips for functional power, agility drills in the sand to improve footwork, and long-distance running to build endurance. We train 6 days a week because there are no shortcuts to success.
The Guru-Shishya Tradition
My ustaad ji taught me that respect for the sport comes before anything else. I pass that same teaching to my students. Whether you are a sub-junior just learning the basics of an ankle hold, or a senior player prepping for Khelo India trials, you get the same dedication from me. We run sessions in the morning and evening, ensuring every student gets enough time to master defensive chains and raiding techniques like the Dubki.
