Their expertise has led our athletes to remarkable national and international victories. Our focus on technique, strategy, discipline, and resilience equips our judoka not just for global competitions, but for life's challenges as well.
We take pride in nurturing aspiring athletes, helping them grow into champions both on and off the mat. Join us, and be a part of a journey where every throw and grapple is a step towards personal and international triumph.
"The greatest aspect of training at Vijayi Bharat is the opportunity to connect with peer judokas on and off the mat. The coaches ensure that our training is always experiential. The new S&C facility is absolutely brilliant and I really enjoy my workouts here. I look forward to becoming stronger and better every day."
