Mallakhamb, the Traditional Indian Physical Culture, is one of the ‘fastest growing traditional sports’ in the world. Although, Mallakhamb started as a complementary exercise for wrestling, it soon proved to be complementary exercise for all other sports disciplines, as it improves strength, stamina, speed, endurance, flexibility, neuro – muscular coordination, balance, courage, confidence and many more abilities. It is a martial art, competitive sport, performing art, dynamic yoga as well as a circus apparatus too.
Now regular coaching of Mallakhamb has been started in many countries abroad. The ‘Germany Mallakhamb Federation’ ‘Mallakhamb Federation of the USA’ have already been formally formed. Similarly, establishment of National Federations at Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and few other European countries are in pipeline.
