## About Martial Arts & Self-Defense Training

### My Philosophy

Martial arts for me is more than just fighting. I follow a simple idea - *dimaag mein gyaan, peeth pe taakat* (wisdom in the mind, strength on the back). That’s how I teach - build a strong mind and a strong body, side by side.

### What I Teach

I take classes in Kalri-N-Ryu, a style of Indian Karate I learnt from my gurus. This isn’t just any karate - it’s rooted in Indian tradition, but keeps up with standards from KIO and World Karate Federation. So yeah, you get the real deal.

### How Training Works

- Learn both traditional and sports karate basics - stances, kicks, punches, blocks, and, of course, *kata* for sharpness and focus.
- We get into practical self-defense techniques. Stuff you can actually use if needed.
- Not just empty hands - you’ll also pick up traditional weapons training like nunchaku and bo staff (laathi).
- Every session, we work on fitness and flexibility - yoga, stretching, power drills, even tile breaking sometimes.

### Champions & Community

My students have gone from state to national champs, bagging medals in both sparring and kata. Doesn’t matter if you’re a kid, teen, or adult - I’ve got classes and personal training for all.

I’m not just here to teach you moves. This is about respect, discipline, and finding your own strength. That’s what I pass on, just like my masters did for me.

## Meet your expert

[Dada](https://mytribe.in/dadabangalore)

### My story

Namaste, I’m Dada. My life? All about martial arts and yoga. I run Self Defence School of Indian Karate and Kundalini Yoga Shala – discipline, practice, and a bit of sweat. I’ve won some Yogasana medals, but honestly, watching my students like Neeraj go from state champ to national winner, that’s the real high. Everything I teach, it’s from my masters, especially my Guru Shrinivas. Shastras say: be sharp in mind and strong in body. That’s what I pass on in my dojo.

### My work

- **Martial Arts & Yoga Classes**: We teach Indian Karate, MMA-style Kalri-N-Ryu, self-defence, Kundalini Yoga, and competitive Yogasana coaching.
- **Training for All Ages**: Kids, adults, seniors – everyone can join. Build strength, flexibility, and confidence together.
- **Competition Focused**: Students train for local to national level karate and Yogasana championships. Winning is good, learning is better.
- **Dojos in Bangalore**: Main dojo in Nagarbhavi, plus new spot in Chandra Layout. Timings for Nagarbhavi stay same.
