I am Ramesh Rao. For 30 years, I have walked the path of Aiki Jujutsu. Here, I share the philosophy and discipline I bring to my training sessions in Bengaluru.

This is me in my element, wearing the traditional gi. This is more than a uniform; it is a symbol of my lifelong commitment to the art of Aiki Jujutsu.

A few quiet moments of reflection. My journey is one of continuous learning, and I bring that spirit of growth to every class I teach.

A moment of thought. My teaching is not just about physical moves, but about sharing the wisdom I have gained over 30 years of practice.

A short message during my early morning workout. I teach traditional Aiki Jujutsu and I love to share my knowledge with anyone willing to learn.

From quiet contemplation to dynamic action. This is the balance we seek in martial arts, to be calm in thought but ready for movement.

Thinking about the next class and the progress of my students. My greatest satisfaction comes from seeing them grow in skill and confidence.

About Meet the Sensei

Before you commit, I always start with an intro session. It is the only way to see if my teaching method, which focuses on body mechanics and calming the mind rather than brute force, is the right fit for your goals. Whether you are in Koramangala or joining online from elsewhere, let us see if we can walk this path together.
