You will be using focus mitts and heavy shields to train your striking accuracy and blocking reflexes against a partner. My approach is to strip away unnecessary movements and teach you how to generate force from your stance, ensuring you can land a solid punch or kick even under the stress of a real-world encounter. ### Training for Real-World Scenarios My training in Koramangala is grounded in Kyokushin Karate, but it is not about memorizing complex forms. It is about conditioning your body and mind for impact. When you join these drills, you learn to manage fear and distance, which are the two most important factors in any self-defense situation. #### What You Will Learn * **Impact Mechanics:** We use focus mitts and kicking shields to teach you how to hit with your full body weight behind it, not just your arm strength. * **Blocking and Countering:** You will learn to deflect an attack and counter-strike in one continuous motion. Speed and timing are critical here. * **Controlled Sparring:** We use kumite to safely test your reactions. You will wear protective gear and learn to handle the pressure of an opponent who is actually moving and trying to strike back. #### Who This Is For I train corporate teams, students, and beginners who have no prior martial arts experience. You do not need to be an athlete to start. My goal is to get you comfortable with protecting yourself. Whether you need a short, high-intensity workshop for your office or you are looking for long-term consistency at my dojo, the curriculum is designed to make you physically and mentally stronger. We prioritize safety, clear instruction, and consistent repetition until the techniques become muscle memory. ## About Ravi Carvalho I am Sensei Carvalho.
