My own journey began under Okinawan teachers, and I stick to their way: discipline first, and the rest follows. ### Why Train Here This isn’t just about kicks and punches. I want you to grow, not just get fit. Discipline and focus are at the core. You’ll find your confidence, learn to stand up for yourself, and get better at handling tricky stuff in life. ### What You’ll Learn Classes are for all ages, beginners or those with some experience. My main style is Shorin-ryu karate - this is the real traditional Okinawan karate training. You’ll work on basics, get stronger, learn kata (those set forms), try kumite (sparring, but safe), and, if you stick with it, even tameshiwari (breaking stuff with technique, not just brute force). With kobudo, it’s about weapons - bo, tonfa, nunchaku. The instruction is authentic, straight from what I learned in Okinawa. ### Your Progress You start at white belt and move up through the usual kyu grades. Reaching black belt isn’t quick or easy, but it’s worth it if you’re consistent. ### The Dojo The Honbu Dojo in Bangalore is our main spot. It’s set up for serious training, with all the weapons and equipment. Portraits of masters on the wall remind us to keep it real. Ganbatte (keep going). ## Highlights Browse through Suresh Kenichira's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/osk_federation_of_india/karate-kobudo-classes/featured) - [Video: This is the heart of our dojo: students of all ages training together, united in their pursuit of excellence.

All thanks to our students, teachers, and supporters. My Okinawa teachers shaped everything I know. We keep going back there, always learning. Got my Kyoshi Nanadan (7th Dan) recently, which is huge for me. For us, karate isn’t just sport—it’s about making people strong and safe. Like Sensei Nagamine said, 'Mada tarinu. Kitae konashite.' (It’s still not enough. Train hard.) That’s our vibe. ### My work - **Traditional Shorin-ryu Karate & Kobudo Classes**: We teach Shorin-ryu Karate and Kobudo weapon training to kids and adults, focusing on discipline and self-growth. - **Women's Self-Defense Workshops**: Our workshops help women build confidence and learn real-life self-defense skills—mindset matters as much as moves. - **Advanced Kumite & Black Belt Grading**: For serious martial artists, we prep for Black Belt grading and offer advanced Kumite and senior Kata coaching. - **Community & Corporate Martial Arts Programs**: We work with schools, colleges, and companies to bring karate training to their communities—over 30 schools so far. ## More services from Suresh Kenichira - [Karate Programs for Schools & Communities](https://mytribe.in/osk_federation_of_india/karate-programs-for-schools-communities) · ₹800-2,000 per student per month (estimate) - [Black Belt & Advanced Dan Training](https://mytribe.in/osk_federation_of_india/black-belt-advanced-dan-training) · ₹25K-1L per candidate (full Black Belt or Dan training & certification) (estimate) - [Self-Defense Workshops](https://mytribe.in/osk_federation_of_india/self-defense-workshops) · ₹500-1,500 per participant (estimate) ## Experts similar to Suresh Kenichira on mytribe - [Karate Training by OSK Federation](https://mytribe.in/shihan_suresh_kenichira/karate-training) · ₹1,200-3,500 per student per month (estimate) · OSK Federation of India - [Traditional Shorin-Ryu Karate by Midhun Valiya Parambil](https://mytribe.in/seibukanbangalore/traditional-shorin-ryu-karate) · ₹1,500-3,000 per student per month (estimate) · Shorin Ryu Seibukan Karate Bangalore - [Karate Training by GD Sharma](https://mytribe.in/karate_class_bangalore_/karate-training) · ₹1,200-3,500 per student per month (estimate) · THE LIFE ENGINEERING FOUNDATION - [Karate Classes for Kids by OSK Academy](https://mytribe.in/oskacademy/karate-classes-for-kids) · ₹1,200-3,000 per child per month (estimate) · Okinawa Shorin-Ryu Karate Academy - [Shotokan Karate Classes by World Nihon Shotokan Karate Federation](https://mytribe.in/wnskf.karate/shotokan-karate-classes) · ₹1,500-3,500 per student per month (estimate) · Prestige Falcon City - [Self-Defense & Weapons Training by Ashoka Martial Arts Academy](https://mytribe.in/ashokmartialarts/self-defense-weapons-training) · ₹1,200-4,500 per student per month (estimate) · Ashoka Martial Arts Academy Karate Classes - [Martial Arts & Self-Defense Training by Dada](https://mytribe.in/dadabangalore/martial-arts-self-defense-training) · ₹1,200-3,000 per student per month (estimate) · Sri Durga Parameshwari Temple - [Kyokushin Karate Training by Ravi Carvalho](https://mytribe.in/kyokushin_raclo_dojo/kyokushin-karate-training) · ₹1,500-4,000 per month per student (estimate) · kyokushin Martial Art school - [Karate & Martial Arts Classes by Derick Kishan](https://mytribe.in/bangalorebudokan_/karate-martial-arts-classes) · ₹1,200-2,500 per student per month (estimate) · Budokan Martial Arts - [Karate & Self-Defense by Daya Nanthan](https://mytribe.in/dayananthan_k/karate-self-defense) · ₹1,500-3,000 per student per month (estimate) · INFINITY DANCE CREW - IDC - AECS LAYOUT - [Karate Training by The Dojo](https://mytribe.in/thedojoblr/karate-training) · ₹1,800-4,000 per student per month (estimate) · The Dojo | Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai , Shotokan & Kyokushin Karate - [Karate Training (Kids & Adults) by Sudokann Martial Arts](https://mytribe.in/zainmartialarts/karate-training-kids-adults) · ₹1,500-3,500 per student per month (estimate) · Sudokann martial arts ## Book To book Suresh Kenichira, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Karate%20%26%20Kobudo%20Classes%20by%20Suresh%20Kenichira.)
