We are a community, not just a training center. From our annual Shastra Pooja to team-building matches, we celebrate the discipline, heritage, and growth that archery brings into our lives.

This video shows our annual Shastra Pooja ceremony on Dussehra. We come together to bless our bows and arrows, honoring the tradition and respecting the tools of our sport.

About Academy Culture & Events

Our Shastra Pooja ceremony is a tradition we hold dear. For us, a bow is not just equipment; it is a tool that teaches discipline and focus. By blessing our gear every Dussehra, we remind ourselves—and our students—that every arrow released is a mark of respect for the sport's heritage.

More Than Just Practice

Archery is a mental game as much as a physical one. When you train with us at our Dadar or Bandra locations, you aren't just learning to aim; you are joining a community. We believe in building a mindset where 'focus' is your primary strength.

Why Culture Matters

  • Respect for the Sport: Our annual Shastra Pooja is about acknowledging that the bow is an extension of the archer. It sets a tone of gratitude and dedication before we hit the field.
  • Learning at Any Age: Whether you are 6 or 60, our sessions are designed to be inclusive. We see kids learning alongside adults, creating a unique environment where experience is shared freely.
  • Tournament Temperament: Our Sunday match-plays are where the training culture turns competitive. We simulate the pressure of tournaments so that when you step onto a real range, you are mentally prepared for the noise, the rules, and the stakes.

The Coach's Philosophy

I am Swwapniil Parab, and my goal is to guide you from casual practice to competitive success. Whether you are picking up an Indian Bow for the first time or fine-tuning your Recurve technique, the process remains the same: discipline, repetition, and a positive mindset. As we often say, 'Bas, focus rakho'—just keep your focus—and the results will follow.
