Located in narrow lanes of Bajwada, & established in 1908, this infamous akhada was formed by Ambu Purani & Chhotu Purani, the two freedom fighters, to encourage & train young citizens of baroda for resisting British rule.

The akhada has been training fitness freaks in mud kushti, malkhambh, langdi, wrestling, judo & such other games.

It is still few of only akhadas in city which is still alive & is keeping up with cultural sports alive in city.
