Taekwondo hume sirf maarna nahi sikhata, sambhalna bhi sikhata hai (Taekwondo doesn't just teach us to hit, it teaches us to handle ourselves). It's about learning how to carry yourself and tackle tough times - inside and outside the dojo. Har girna ek seekh hai, har uthna ek jeet hai (Every fall is a lesson, every time you get up is a win). That’s what I want you to feel when you train with me. ### Who Can Join I welcome anyone ready to put in the work. - Kids (Little Champs): Self-defense for kids with focus on discipline and confidence, not just kicks and punches. - Women: Our women's safety training batch is about practical moves and empowerment - real stuff, not flashy tricks. - Adults: If you want to get fit, learn real-life self-defense skills, and toughen up mentally, this is for you. ### What You Get - Practical techniques - kicks, punches, blocks that work in the real world - Strength, stamina, flexibility, sharper coordination - Confidence building classes, stronger focus, self-control, and the guts to face your fears - Discipline through martial arts - not just in class but in life ### How We Train This is not a chill, casual hobby. Training is hard, like tapasya (penance). Thakna allow nahi, rukna allow nahi (Getting tired isn’t allowed, stopping isn’t allowed). I’m strict about discipline and attitude. Mehnat (hard work) and dedication are the only things that matter here. Try it for yourself - the real learning happens on the mat, not in words. ## Highlights Browse through Sanju Taekwondo Academy's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/sanju__taekwondo_/self-defense-classes/featured) - [Video: This is what dedication looks like.

Taekwondo, 'Ishq Hai Ye' (it's love for me), not just business. Academy’s named after my son, Sanju. My students? Like my own kids. Sakhti karta hu (I’m strict), but that’s how champions are made. We started small, now we’ve got a bigger branch because students wanted more space. Here, we train, joke, and even travel together. This place, every sweaty training, every silly reel, is my story. ### My work - **Taekwondo for All Ages**: We train everyone – little champs, seniors, beginners, black belts. Special batches for women and self-defense. - **Discipline & Hard Work First**: Luck nahi, mehnat hai (No luck, just hard work). Training is tough. 'No Pain No Gain.' Push your limits, grow stronger. - **More Than Martial Arts**: Taekwondo builds focus, discipline, confidence. Not just about punches, but getting back up after falling. - **Family Vibes**: STA is a family. We train hard, laugh harder, support each other. Here, lives change, not just games. ## More services from Sanju Taekwondo Academy - [Taekwondo Training](https://mytribe.in/sanju__taekwondo_/taekwondo-training) · ₹1,200-3,500 per student per month (estimate) - [Martial Arts Fitness](https://mytribe.in/sanju__taekwondo_/martial-arts-fitness) · ₹1,200-3,500 per person per month (estimate) ## Book To book Sanju Taekwondo Academy, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Self-Defense%20Classes%20by%20Sanju%20Taekwondo%20Academy.)
