Our Annual Karate-Do Camp at Bordi Beach
Four days of intense training, beach conditioning, and dojo bonding. Step out of the city and into the sand to push your limits with our family.
This is what our annual Karate-Do camp is all about. We bring our entire dojo family together for four days of focused training, discipline, and community, set against the beautiful backdrop of Bordi beach.
An invitation to transform your practice. Our camp, led by Grand Master Ramesh Parab, is a unique opportunity for students of all levels to learn, grow, and test their skills in a focused environment.
We teach practical self defense that works. In this session, students learn the Jodan Uke, or face-level block, to defend against a stick attack, building real world confidence and coordination.
Achievement is a cornerstone of our camp. Here, we celebrate the hard work of our students with a belt and certificate distribution ceremony, recognizing their progress in both grading exams and camp competitions.
Karate is a discipline of the mind as much as the body. We teach the traditional methods of respecting the uniform, including the proper way to fold a Gi, known as Shikaku no Gi and Maki no Gi.
Agility and power are earned through practice. The kip up is a dynamic technique we teach to improve explosive strength and body control, helping students rise to any challenge.
Sparring builds resilience and quick thinking. Our Team Jiyu Kumite drills are a core part of the camp, teaching students how to work together and adapt in a free-form combat scenario.
We are proud of our lineage under Grand Master Ramesh Parab, a Limca Book of World Record holder. His guidance and legacy are the foundation of our academy's strength and discipline.
About Featured
Don't expect a luxury retreat; we live in community dorms and train on the beach from sunrise to sunset. It's about stripping away distractions to focus on your Kata and conditioning. If you're coming, be ready to sweat, share simple Maharashtrian meals with the dojo family, and respect the discipline we maintain.
Our annual camp at Bordi Beach is where we turn training into a lifestyle. Away from the city chaos, these four days are designed to test your limits and forge connections that go beyond the training floor.
The Training Regimen
We keep a tight, intense schedule. Mornings start at 6:00 AM with beach runs on loose sand, which is brutal for leg conditioning but essential for endurance. Throughout the day, we cycle through:
- Technical Sessions: Breaking down Gekisai Dai Ichi and syllabus-specific Kata.
- Combat Drills: Introduction to Jiyu Kumite (free sparring) with safety gear checks to ensure you learn how to handle yourself in a real scenario.
- Kobudo & Weapons: For our advanced brown and black belt students, we focus on Bo staff handling, rope fighting, and defensive postures against stick attacks.
Life at Camp
We believe discipline starts with how you handle your gear. We teach traditional methods like Shikaku no Gi (the square fold for your uniform), ensuring you take care of your Gi just as you take care of your body. Accommodations are in gender-segregated dorms or community halls, with cotton floor mattresses. It is a shared, family-style experience.
The Legacy
Everything we do is rooted in the philosophy of Grand Master Ramesh Parab, a Limca Book of World Record holder. Whether you are participating in the grading exams or competing in our in-house tournaments, the goal is not just to win a medal, but to walk away with a stronger character. We provide full board, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with 24/7 supervision to keep everyone safe and focused.
