About Self-Defense Classes
Why We Do What We Do
For us, self-defense is more than just kicks and punches. It's about having both dimag aur dil (mind and heart) to face whatever comes your way. We want you to feel at home and strong, whether you're walking down MG Road or just crossing your own street. Here, you're not just building muscle - you're building character.
What Training Feels Like
Our classes mix real-life self-defense techniques from Taekwondo with solid fitness routines. Expect drills that get you moving - kicks, punches, footwork, and blocks, plus lots of pushups (Push up maadbeku!). We make you sweat, but you’ll also laugh, learn, and sometimes, struggle a bit. That's how confidence comes - not overnight, but step by step.
Who Can Join Us
- Kids (even as young as 3) to adults who want to try something new
- Beginners who've never tried martial arts before
- Girls and women looking for women's safety training and a boost in confidence
- Para-athletes, because strength belongs to everyone
How We Do It
Our coaches are internationally certified and actually care. Sessions include sparring (Kyorugi) in full safety gear, so you get to test skills in a safe way. We focus on discipline, but we’re not scary strict - you’ll get encouragement, respect, and a bit of Namma Karnatakadalli (our Karnataka) spirit every class.

My Story
Namaskara! We’re KTA, right here in Bengaluru. For us, Taekwondo is more than medals – it’s about respect, discipline, and building guts. That feeling when our students win gold for Bengaluru Urban or get picked for Nationals? Next level, boss! I keep learning too – just got my Poomsae coaching cert from Pune. We’re family here, always training hard, sometimes playing with our puppy Lachmi, and cheering every kid, adult, or Para-athlete. KTA means achievement, simple.
My Work

Competitive & Championship Prep - Our Taekwondo competition training is for those who want to win medals at state, inter-school, or national events. We make champions.
Energetic, Real Training Style - Consistency is key – be ready to kick, jump maadu, shout maadbeku! We’ll push you hard, but you’ll love the results.
