A Word From the President
When I think about why BWWA exists, I don’t start with medals or recognition — I start with the akhada I grew up training in, and the wrestlers there who never got a fair shot beyond their district. Talent was never the shortage. Structure was.
Over the past decade, we have moved from a scattered network of regional wrestling bodies to a single national federation — one rulebook, one weight-category system, one clear path from a state unit to an international mat. That work is far from finished, but the direction is no longer in doubt.
"
Every federation is only as strong as the akharas behind it. Our task is simple to say and hard to do — give every wrestler, in every state, the same fair path from the mud pit to the podium.

Where We're Focused
Four priorities guide every decision the executive committee and I make on behalf of the federation:
- Sunrise training — sessions begin before dawn, in the cool of the mud pit rather than on a modern mat.
- The sacred mitti — the soil itself is treated with reverence, turned and conditioned with oil, turmeric, and ghee before each session.
- Guru–shishya parampara — a wrestler’s technique, diet, and conduct are shaped directly by a resident guru, not a curriculum.
- Disciplined diet — milk, ghee, almonds, and seasonal fruit traditionally formed the wrestler’s intake, prized as much for discipline as nutrition.
- The akhada as community — beyond sport, the akhada has long served as a local institution of mentorship and physical culture.

A Message to Every Wrestler
To every athlete training in an akhada right now, often before sunrise, often without an audience: the federation exists because of you, not the other way around. Our job is to remove the obstacles between your effort and your opportunity — nothing more, nothing less.
We will not get every decision right on the first attempt. But we are building BWWA to last, and to be answerable to the wrestlers and coaches it serves. That commitment will not change.
"
Keep training the way your guru taught you. We will keep building the federation that makes sure the rest of the world sees it.
