About Self-Defense Workshops
Why I Teach Self-Defense
Karate isn’t just a sport to me, it’s my way of life. Self-defense is about way more than fighting - it’s about walking with confidence, being alert, and knowing you’re not helpless if things go sideways. I teach because I want others to feel that too.
Who Shows Up
I run practical self-defense training for all kinds of folks:
- Women and girls who want to feel safer and stronger. Every March, the entire month is reserved just for them - full-on sessions celebrating and training ladies in our city.
- Corporate teams looking for more than just another icebreaker. I bring the workshop to your office, so your team gets real skills plus a bit of a morale boost.
What Actually Happens Here
Forget movie moves. We focus on what you’ll use if you ever need it:
- Simple strikes, throws, and ways to break free
- How to escape common holds or grabs
- Staying calm and making quick decisions
- Boosting your confidence with every session
- Building awareness of what’s happening around you
The Vibe
Here, everyone’s learning - no one’s expected to be perfect on day one. Our sessions feel like a chill family hangout. If I come up and ask, “Elli mane nimdu?” (Where’s your house?), don’t be surprised. That’s just how I connect.
Getting stronger isn’t easy, but you’ll see progress. If you want to learn real-life self-defense techniques and get more confident, I’ll back you all the way.
Oss.

My Story
We are Bangalore Budokan, but honestly, we feel more like a big karate family than an academy. 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.
