Real-World MMA & Self Defense Training
My philosophy is simple: build real strength, not just for the ring, but for life. Here is a look at the techniques and training that keep my students ready for anything.
Street fights are a matter of seconds. I teach you how to use your hands, elbows, and knuckles to deliver a knockout punch and escape safely. This is not about sport, this is about survival.
Listen to my student, actress Aditi Sharma. In just 15 days, she achieved significant fat loss and got ready for her movie's fight sequences. We train for real goals, whether it's fitness or professional work.
You don't always need a weapon. I show you how to use a simple t-shirt or handkerchief to control an attacker without causing permanent injury, just enough to neutralize the threat until help arrives. This is a practical street fight technique.
It is an honor to be recognized for my work. This award for 'Best MMA Coach' from The Mumbai Achievers Awards 2023 is a testament to the dedication of my students and the effectiveness of our training.
A perfect high kick requires flexibility, balance, and timing. Here, I am demonstrating the proper form and control during a one-on-one training session in the cage.
The rear naked choke is a dangerous hold, but it has a defense. I teach you the advanced counter to escape this common MMA and street fight submission, turning your opponent's attack against them.
My kids' MMA classes are about more than just fighting. Here you can see them learning discipline, focus, and the fundamentals of martial arts in a structured and safe environment.
This is a memory from the India vs Iran Kickboxing Fight in Abu Dhabi. My journey as a fighter, winning the 'Best Fighter' title, is the foundation of the real-world experience I bring to my coaching.
About Featured
Real fighting has no rules. Whether you are training for professional kickboxing or learning to escape a street attack, we focus on functional movements. You will not find fancy AC or treadmills here. You will find focus mitts, Thai pads, and heavy bags designed to turn you into a fighter who knows exactly where to strike and how to finish a fight in seconds.
At XFF, we do not do cardio just for the sake of sweating. Every session is a preparation for real-world scenarios. My training methodology combines striking arts like Boxing and Muay Thai with essential grappling techniques from BJJ and Wrestling. If you are starting, we build your base: stance, balance, and power generation. If you are advanced, we go into cage work, transitions, and high-level submissions.
No Nonsense, Just Skills
People ask me if they can learn self-defense quickly. The answer is yes, but only if you focus on the vital points. I teach students how to use basic tools, like a t-shirt or just their own knuckles, to neutralize threats without relying on strength alone. My dojo in Mumbai, including locations in Khar, Andheri, and Malabar Hill, is a place for hard work. Whether you are an actor preparing for a movie fight sequence, or someone looking to build basic fitness and discipline, you get the same intensity I used to win as a kickboxing champion. Come ready to learn, and leave knowing you can defend yourself and your loved ones.
