Whether it is kids learning Judo on professional EVA mats or adults training cage-ready MMA techniques, my focus is on controlled, practical growth. We use full protective gear and dummies to simulate real scenarios without risking unnecessary injury, ensuring you or your child gains confidence that lasts beyond the dojo. My philosophy is simple: health is a niyamat (blessing). When you walk into an XFF dojo, you are not just signing up for a class; you are joining a family. I have been running these centers in Mumbai since 2001, and I train my own children here, so you know safety is not just a policy, it is personal. ### What Training Looks Like Here * **For Kids:** We focus on Judo, gymnastics, and agility drills. The goal is to build a body that is sharp and a mind that is disciplined. We use professional-grade interlocking mats to absorb impact, keeping the environment safe while teaching them how to fall and recover properly. * **For Adults & Teens:** Our MMA curriculum covers everything from striking (Kickboxing, Muay Thai) to ground-and-pound and cage awareness. This is not for show—it is for real-life combat readiness. * **The XFF Way:** Whether you are looking for a weekend Judo batch or an intensive weekday warrior regimen, we focus on technical accuracy. We align our Judo curriculum with the Bombay Judo Club, which means your child is training for more than just fun; they are training for state and national competition pathways. If you are worried about the 'fight' part, let me be clear: we teach you how to handle pressure. We use grappling dummies to practice techniques without the risk of heavy contact until you are ready. My batches are small, focused, and designed to give every student the personal attention they need to grow, whether you are a complete beginner or looking to compete. ## About Shafiq Shaikh I am Shafiq Shaikh.
