Anytime you are welcom in every Akhara !

Where is this Akhara? Can a tourist visit this Akhara and watch them wrestle? How would I do that and where would I go? I'd LOVE to visit an Indian Akhara during my upcoming visit to India but I heard that many of the boys will want to challenge you to a wrestling match. So if you're there, you'll end up getting wrestled! Especially by the younger boys wanting to demonstrate their manhood! That sure would be humiliating getting turned into a pretzel by a young Indian boy!

this is awesome....its like a my jiu jitsu warm up..amazing.....i'm very impressed and wish i could train with you guys

@PARTHsagittarian LOL..OK...well, I'll keep telling myself this! Truth is I did NOT want to lose in wrestling to a 15-year-old in front of all the neighbors. It was a very hot and humid day in July and a minute into our match I was sucking wind! So when he turned me over and pinned me, my strength level was at about 30%. I never wrestled in high school so I do believe that if I had a little bit of experience and coaching, I would have bagged him. Instead I burned myself out with worthless moves.

@JohnnyCreampuff sir, probably, in your heart of hearts you did not want to win against your grand nephew...that's what did you in.....or else a young colt, despite his youthful energy and skills cannot stand up against an old warhorse.....

@heavygearamar When I visited the Hanuman Akhara, most of the wrestlers lifted weights as well as climb ropes. So even in the old, traditional Akharas, lifting weights seemed to be an important part of their training.

@PARTHsagittarian A few years back my 15-year-old grand nephew who was on the high school wrestling team and going thru that macho age that most American boys go thru challenged his uncle to a backyard wrestling match. I was 50 and in reasonably good shape and bigger and stronger than my nephew. BUT he pinned me in less than 2 minutes! He was more skilled and had much more stamina. I ran out of gas! Very embarrassing. Well that 14-year-old Indian boy at the Akhara would have had me for lunch!

@PARTHsagittarian During my visit to the Hanuman Akhara in Delhi, I was very impressed with the strength of both the men AND the boys. They were climbing ropes using just their arms while leaving their well-muscled legs freely hanging down. I NEVER could do this EVEN in my physical prime! I'm planning on visiting India again this coming November and I'd like to once again, visit the Hanuman Akhara and maybe the Northern Railway Akhara. They were all so very polite and hospitable.

@JohnnyCreampuff hope u enjoyed the visit to the akhara while u were visiting india.....there is a remote possibility that a young boy challenges you but they will never insist.....our wrestlers are very disciplined and humble.....

we all want 2 see their dicks and butts also . after the wrestling match surely they will do sex with each others. every man love to do sex with men. specially guys from body bulding..

[heavygearamar]

jai hanuman, jai sri ram. our govt must encourage ppl to join such traditional akhara n discourage ppl goin to gyms where they do nothing but lift dead weights. there is no skill in that. this is the real skill.
