About Mallakhamb Sports

Mallakhamb has evolved significantly since its inception and is now a fusion of Martial Arts, Gymnastics, and Yoga. This unique sport not only enhances physical attributes like strength, stamina, and flexibility but also offers a complete mind and body experience, with many moves performed against gravity.

Mallakhamb is played in two forms – Pole Mallakhamb and Rope Mallakhamb, each requiring skill and precision. It has transcended borders and is recognized as a global sport with national level federations in India, USA, Nepal, Japan, and Germany. Several other countries, including the United Kingdom, Poland, Italy, Bhutan, Brazil, Mexico, and Singapore, are preparing to establish training centers and federations.

Athletes in Mallakhamb have the opportunity to compete at both national and international championships. Additionally, they can explore performing arts such as Aerial arts and Pole Fitness, and the conditioning benefits gained can be leveraged in various other sports.

Mallakhamb practitioners have reported improved well-being, including reduced allergy symptoms and increased metabolism. Moreover, Mallakhamb fosters self-defense confidence, promoting overall fitness and health.
