Vajra Core Martial Arts Club and Gym

This is a very good place to learn various martial art techniques with short stick, long stick, hand combat, self defence etc. To execute good technique it is important to develop good core strength and here it is build with cross fit, resistance training, Mudgal and free weights. This is an excellent learning place for all age groups. Nikam Sir ensures to keep each student motivated by changing the training method to suit individual rhythm.

I really enjoy this martial arts class. Along with martial arts, we also do calisthenics, which helps a lot with strength and fitness. The class feels friendly and motivating. Workouts are tough but fun. It’s a great class and I would recommend it to anyone.

One of the most amazing martial arts class I have been in. Like I have been training in this self defence class for two and could surely say it's the best. Plus get to meet so many amazing people here. Especially kanchan sir he is one of the most knowledgeable when it comes to weapons.

An experienced and inspiring martial arts teacher (Nikam sir) with decades of knowledge. His calm approach, strong technique, and dedication to discipline make every lesson valuable and motivating. Highly recommended.

The level of detail in the coaching is amazing. I’ve learned so much about technique and strategy. This is the best martial arts class, it teaches everything from self-defense to effective attack skills.

I have been with Vajra Core Martial Arts Club for nearly 2 years. Kanchan sir is a really great teacher who uses simple analogy and physics to explain techniques. He also encourages us to try out new techniques to see which will work and which won't. This, I believe, is crucial to progressing as a martial arts practitioner. It really helps build the "feel". Kanchan sir is an expert in Kali weapons such as short stick, long stick, sword (single+double edged), knife and hand to hand combat. He also teaches calisthenics, cross fit, Indian clubs (Mudgal). If you want to start your journey to self defense, weapons training and a strong body, this is the place to start!

I’ve worked out with Mr. Nikam and have found him to be a great guy and a very good martial arts teacher. It was a great experience.

Vajra core Martial Arts Club is an excellent place to begin your martial arts journey.Kanchan sir (instructor) is incredibly dedicated, giving personal attention and ensuring every student improves with discipline and confidence. The training really helps build focus, sharpens awareness, and develops strong self-defence skills. Highly recommended for anyone looking in Pune.

This is the best place in Pune if you are willing to learn self defence. Perfectly coached by Nikam sir, he pays personal attention to each and every student. The main thing, it’s suitable for all age groups. Along with the lessons of Eskrima, you go through strength building exercises like resistance training, free weights, cross fit, Mudgal. Highly recommend!🙌🏻

One of the best martial arts academies around! Professional coaching, disciplined environment, and a strong focus on technique and character building. Highly recommended for beginners and advanced learners alike.

I cannot express enough how much I admire Kanchan Sir as both a mentor and a master of Martial Arts. It is a rare privilege to train under someone with such a profound depth of knowledge in FMA, Kali, and Eskrima. His patience is unmatched. Whether he is guiding us through the intricate footwork of Sword Fighting or the critical details of Knife Defense and Weapons Training, he never rushes. His focus is entirely on ensuring every student understands the mechanics and maintains the right form. You feel safe and supported, even when learning the most dangerous techniques. What I appreciate most is his genuine care for our well-being. He integrates Calisthenics, Free Weights, and the traditional Mudgal into a Resistance Training program that puts generic CrossFit to shame. He doesn't just want us tired; he wants us strong and capable. By blending high-level Boxing and MMA with practical Self Defense, he has transformed my Health and Fitness. He is a teacher who leads by example, and I am incredibly grateful for his guidance. I'll always remember his quote: "Count of reps doesn't matters, what matter is the right form."

I’ve been training at Vajra Core MMA Institute for 1 year, and the experience has been outstanding. The gym offers an impressive range of MMA, Boxing, and Martial Arts classes, along with highly practical Self Defense, Knife Defense, Weapons Training, Sword Fighting, Kali, Eskrima, and FMA sessions. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated to helping every student grow. Over the past year, my Fitness and Health have improved tremendously thanks to their blend of Calisthenics, CrossFit, Free Weights, Resistance Training, and even traditional Mudgal work. Every class is engaging, challenging, and professionally run. After a full year here, I can confidently say this is one of the best training centers around—whether you want to learn to fight, get stronger, or just stay active. Highly recommended!

This martial arts club stands out for its discipline, professionalism, and genuine commitment to personal growth. The training is well-structured, intense, and focuses not only on physical strength but also on mental toughness, self-control, and confidence. The instructors are highly skilled, patient, and motivating. They pay attention to individual progress while maintaining high standards for everyone. The environment is respectful, supportive, and pushes you to constantly improve without feeling overwhelmed. Beyond techniques and fitness, the club instills values like discipline, perseverance, and humility, which reflect clearly in the way members carry themselves. Training here feels purposeful and empowering.

Consistency was my biggest challenge but due to Kanchan sir it’s no more a problem. He’s is the best coach ever. The coffee run at the end of every session is the highlight!!!
