CALIBAF SKILL-UP WEEK

CALIBAF SKILL-UP WEEK is 4-day Calisthenics Fest designed to help beginners and enthusiasts experience real calisthenics training, the right way.

India’s First Localised Calisthenics Fest - CALIBAF SKILL UP WEEK

CALIBAF Skill-Up Week is India’s first localised Calisthenics Fest, designed to introduce people to science-backed, beginner-first calisthenics through structured workshops, real coaching, and an authentic training environment.

Hosted at CALIBAF, one of Bangalore’s leading calisthenics studios, Skill-Up Week is a 4-day immersive experience, where beginners, gym-goers, and fitness enthusiasts learn calisthenics the right way safely, progressively, and confidently.

This is not a one-off event.
This is an annual movement aimed at shaping how calisthenics is experienced and practiced in India.

What Is CALIBAF Skill-Up Week?

CALIBAF Skill-Up Week is an annual Calisthenics Fest featuring 8 structured workshops conducted over 4 days, with two sessions daily.

The purpose is simple but powerful:

To introduce calisthenics in a structured and beginner-friendly manner
To remove fear and misinformation around calisthenics
To allow people to experience real calisthenics training before committing long-term

Unlike generic fitness workshops, Skill-Up Week is built as a complete exposure program where participants don’t just try movements, but understand how calisthenics works, why progressions matter, and how to train sustainably.

Why Calisthenics Is Growing Rapidly in India

Across India, fitness preferences are shifting.

More people are moving away from repetitive, machine-based workouts and looking for:

Functional strength
Skill-based training
Better mobility and balance
Long-term joint health

Calisthenics naturally fits this shift.

By using the body as resistance, calisthenics develops:

Strength
Coordination
Balance
Control
Movement awareness

all together, not in isolation.

However, as calisthenics gains popularity, a major issue has emerged: lack of proper guidance.

Many people attempt advanced movements without learning fundamentals, leading to:

Shoulder and wrist injuries
Poor technique
Plateaued progress
Frustration and dropouts

This is why structured calisthenics education and workshops are becoming essential and why initiatives like CALIBAF Skill-Up Week play a crucial role in shaping a healthier calisthenics culture in India.

The Story Behind Skill-Up Week: From 1.0 to 2.0

CALIBAF Skill-Up Week began with a simple idea:

Give people a safe, structured entry point into calisthenics.

The first edition brought together complete beginners, gym-goers, teenagers, and adults many of whom had never experienced calisthenics before.

The biggest takeaway from Skill-Up Week 1.0 in New Year 2025 wasn’t just participation, but confidence.
People realised calisthenics wasn’t only for elite athletes it was accessible, scalable, and sustainable when taught correctly.

Building on this success, Skill-Up Week 2.0 2026 was launched as an annual Calisthenics Fest, refining structure, expanding reach, and deepening educational quality while keeping its beginner-first philosophy intact.

Who Is Behind CALIBAF Skill-Up Week?

CALIBAF Skill-Up Week is organised under the larger umbrella of CALIBAF, one of India’s fastest growing calisthenics brands.

CALIBAF is not just a studio it is a calisthenics ecosystem built to support training, education, and long-term athlete development.

The CALIBAF Brand Ecosystem

Under the CALIBAF umbrella, the brand operates through two key sub-brands:

CALIBAF Studios

CALIBAF Studios focus on structured, coached calisthenics training for individuals of all levels. The studio environment is designed specifically for bodyweight training, skill development, and movement-based strength, not generic gym workouts.

CALIBAF Institute

CALIBAF Institute focuses on education and professional development, working towards structured learning pathways, certifications, and long-term standards in calisthenics coaching.

Together, these two verticals allow CALIBAF to work at both levels:

Grassroots training (individuals and communities)
Education and standards (future coaches and systems)

At the core of this ecosystem lies a single guiding principle:

Science-backed, beginner-first calisthenics.

The vision of CALIBAF is shaped by its founder, Bilal Ansari, whose years of experience in calisthenics and coaching have helped build the brand’s structured, education-led approach. However, Skill-Up Week itself is a brand-led initiative, focused on community growth rather than individual recognition.

What Makes CALIBAF Skill-Up Week Different?

Skill-Up Week is not designed as a promotional event.
It is designed as an educational experience.

What sets it apart:

Structured progressions instead of random drills
Beginner-first coaching, even for advanced skills
Emphasis on joint preparation and safety
Limited group sizes for better learning
Training inside a dedicated calisthenics studio
