I keep telling my students, “Every Black Belt was once a White Belt, who just didn’t give up.” If you’re looking for something that pushes you, that makes you tougher every day, you’re in the right place. ### How I Teach I train folks to be strong inside and out. We do a bit of everything: - Focus on Kata and Kumite training (forms and sparring, not just for show – it’s the real deal) - Karate belt progression through regular grading – yellow, green, brown, and finally Black Belt if you stick with it - Real self-defense, especially for women – practical stuff that works if needed - Martial arts fitness conditioning, so expect serious drills for speed and strength ### Who Can Join? Kids, teens, adults – doesn’t matter. Everyone’s welcome. We’re more like a family here, and I love knowing where you’re from. Sometimes I’ll ask, “Elli mane nimdu?” (Where’s your house?) – it’s my way of connecting. ### Compete and Grow I believe in testing yourself. We train for local and national competitions, but honestly, it’s about learning, not just winning. If you want to work hard and stay strong, jump in. ## Highlights Browse through Derick Kishan's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/bangalorebudokan_/karate-martial-arts-classes/featured) - [Video: This is what dedication looks like.

Karate for us? Not just kicks, not just belts. It’s a mindset. We started with a dream to build a tribe, and now, seeing students like Nikhil go to Nationals or Sensei Sharan bring home trophies, that's what keeps us going. Our dojo’s everywhere in Bangalore - always with our students, through thick and thin. Oss. ### My work - **What we offer**: Traditional karate classes, martial arts, practical self-defence training, women’s self-defence workshops, corporate sessions, summer camps, and advanced referee seminars. - **Who can join?**: Anyone. Kids, adults, seniors – age is just a number. Our dojos are all across Bangalore. Elli mane nimdu? (Where’s your house?) We’re probably close by. - **How we train**: We focus on discipline, hard work, and real-world preparation. Not just for belts, but for life. You get tougher, but you also get better. - **Our BBK community**: We train together, win together. Our students compete and succeed in state and national championships. Come, be part of the BBK family. ## More services from Derick Kishan - [Karate Camps & Seminars](https://mytribe.in/bangalorebudokan_/karate-camps-seminars) · ₹3,500-5,500 per camp (estimate) - [Self-Defense Workshops](https://mytribe.in/bangalorebudokan_/self-defense-workshops) · ₹7.5-22K per session (estimate) - [Corporate Self-Defense & Wellness Programs](https://mytribe.in/bangalorebudokan_/corporate-self-defense-wellness-programs) · ₹9.5-28K per session (estimate) ## Experts similar to Derick Kishan on mytribe - [Karate & Self-Defense by Daya Nanthan](https://mytribe.in/dayananthan_k/karate-self-defense) · ₹1,500-3,000 per student per month (estimate) · INFINITY DANCE CREW - IDC - AECS LAYOUT - [Karate Training (Kids & Adults) by Sudokann Martial Arts](https://mytribe.in/zainmartialarts/karate-training-kids-adults) · ₹2,200-2,800 per month (estimate) · Sudokann martial arts - [Karate Training by GD Sharma](https://mytribe.in/karate_class_bangalore_/karate-training) · ₹2,000-5,500 per student per month (estimate) · THE LIFE ENGINEERING FOUNDATION - [Kyokushin Karate Training by Ravi Carvalho](https://mytribe.in/kyokushin_raclo_dojo/kyokushin-karate-training) · ₹1,500-3,500 per month (estimate) · kyokushin Martial Art school - [Karate Training by The Dojo](https://mytribe.in/thedojoblr/karate-training) · ₹2,800-4,500 per month (estimate) · The Dojo | Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai , Shotokan & Kyokushin Karate - [Martial Arts & Self-Defense Training by Dada](https://mytribe.in/dadabangalore/martial-arts-self-defense-training) · ₹1,800-2,500 per month (estimate) · Sri Durga Parameshwari Temple - [Karate Classes for Kids by OSK Academy](https://mytribe.in/oskacademy/karate-classes-for-kids) · ₹2,000-2,800 per month (estimate) · Okinawa Shorin-Ryu Karate Academy - [Traditional Shorin-Ryu Karate by Midhun Valiya Parambil](https://mytribe.in/seibukanbangalore/traditional-shorin-ryu-karate) · ₹2,800-3,500 per month (estimate) · Shorin Ryu Seibukan Karate Bangalore - [Karate Training by Ashoka Martial Arts Academy](https://mytribe.in/ashokmartialarts/karate-training) · ₹1,200-5,000 per student per month (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Shotokan Karate Training by Temple of Martial Arts](https://mytribe.in/tma_karate/shotokan-karate-training) · ₹1,600-2,200 per month (estimate) · Temple of Martial Arts - Bannerughatta ## Book To book Derick Kishan, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Karate%20%26%20Martial%20Arts%20Classes%20by%20Derick%20Kishan.)
