About Karate Training
Not Just Fighting, It’s a Way of Life
Karate is more than punches and kicks to me. It’s a discipline, a path to better health, and honestly, a whole lifestyle. We train hard but also laugh and shout joragi (loudly), celebrating wins big and small together.
How Training Feels
Classes are strict - one count, one focus. Every session starts and ends with a respectful bow. You’ll hear me shout “Ichi, Ni, San…” as we drill, building focus and mental strength. I always say, nidhanakke kandro (slowly, dear), because basics matter.
- You’ll start with karate kata training - step by step till it comes chennagi bandide (done well).
- Sparring is safe, with gear and clear rules. No aggression, just skill.
- Fitness is tough - advanced push-ups, core work, stretching. It’s sweaty but worth it.
All Ages, All Backgrounds
Kids, adults, girls, boys – everyone fits in here. I run kids martial arts classes and adult batches, and treat all students like namma makkalu (our children).
Family Vibe & Achievements
We’re a real community. Birthdays, wins, or losses – we celebrate with music, share fruits after tough classes, and always remind each other, aarogyana kapadikolli (take care of your health). Progress is clear: karate belt exam process is official and structured, and students have medals from South India to London.
Discipline is always first, but there’s a lot of heart here too.

Ashoka Martial Arts Academy
My Story
We’re Ashoka Martial Arts Academy, but honestly, it feels more like home than a school. You’ll see us together - students, me, sometimes my daughter Prarthana (she’s a karate champ, proud dad moment!) - training, playing drums, celebrating wins and losses. We travel, we compete, we learn. Sometimes I take a break, shave my head, go spiritual. For us, it’s all about balance - tough training, real fun, and growing together.
My Work
Martial Arts & Karate Training - We teach Karate, self-defense, Nunchaku, Bo Staff classes, and prep for competitions at all levels.
Training Style - Discipline first, but we keep it patient. 'Nidhanakke kandro' (slowly, my dears) - focus and humility matter.
Who Can Join - Kids, adults, boys, girls - everyone’s welcome. Safe, encouraging space. Regular karate belt exams.
Academy Life - We’re a big family - registered, training outdoors or in the dojo, celebrating with drums and dance after competitions.
