If you're aiming for the top - state, national, or international championships - that's exactly who I train. My goal? Building champions on and off the mat. Oss. ### What My Training Looks Like - I run every session, with my Black Belt team backing me up. - Our dojo, Karate Tech, is properly affiliated with Okinawa Karate Do Shorin Ryu Shorin Kai. - We don’t mess around - this is for those who want to win, not just participate. ### My Experience - National Karate Champion (been there, done that) - National Level Trainer - International Karate Judge - Coach for Indian team, including at international championships ### How We Build Winners - "Work until your mind forgets and your body remembers." That's what I drill into my students. - For kata, we chase advanced kata mastery: power, speed, control, and sharpness until every move is automatic. - For kumite, it’s all about tournament kumite preparation - strategy, rules, point system (Yūkō, Waza-ari, Ippon), and tough sparring. Full gear, no shortcuts, safety is big here. ### Results? Dekho bhai (Just see) - My students bag medals at every level. - Coached the Indian team to Overall Champions at the Shorin Kai International in Dubai - 52 Gold, 45 Silver, 28 Bronze. - If you’re ready to grind, you can be next.
