About

I’m Jagapathi Babu, but most people just call me Babu. I left the engineering world for the mats because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu pulled me in - it’s not just a sport, it’s a way to stay honest with yourself. No quick tricks here. If you want to get better, you have to show up and work hard. I’m a Blue Belt now, still grinding, still learning.

My Competition Chops

Staying sharp means putting my skills on the line. Some recent wins:

  • Gold at Karnataka Open 2024 (Gi, -77kg)
  • Gold & Bronze at SJJIF Nationals 2024
  • Silver at ADCC India 2023

What You’ll Get

I teach everyone - total newbies, kids, or folks prepping for big matches. Classes include:

  • BJJ for beginners: basics, safety, learning to move right
  • No-Gi grappling techniques: wrestling, control, adapting fast
  • Competition drills: strategy, tough sparring
  • Kids’ sessions: fun, fitness, real self-defense

We drill takedowns, guard passes, chokes, the works. You’ll see moves like the Matador sweep and Bow and Arrow choke.

Where We Train

Classes run at Sai MMA (Hosa Road, E-City) and The Dojo (HSR Layout), with both morning and evening slots.

Why Join?

Doesn’t matter if you’re a first-timer or a mat rat. BJJ is for anyone who’s ready to put in the effort. Show up, grind, and fight for your own legacy. Avvalothan (That’s it).

My Story

Hey, we’re Sai MMA Academy, but most folks know our coach as Babu. Started out with machines, ended up on the mats. Training’s our life – discipline, sweat, and a bit of family temple travel mixed in. Golds in grappling and kickboxing, always chasing that next belt. Our gym’s got heart, not just muscle. Pooja with the parents, festivals, all of it matters. For us, training, faith, and family go together. That’s how we roll.

My Work

MMA, Kickboxing, BJJ (Gi & No Gi), Boxing, S&C, Fitness - We train all - kids MMA classes, adults, beginners, fighters. Personal and group slots. Everyone’s welcome.

Training Approach - No shortcuts. You’ll sweat, get pushed, and build a strong mind and body. It’s a lifestyle.

Community & Teamwork - We’re a BJJ family. Support, group outdoor fitness runs, and teamwork inside and outside the academy.
