You do not need to travel to find a traditional teacher; I bring the Shorin-ryu lineage and discipline directly to your local community, keeping costs accessible and training consistent for students of all ages. I believe that karate is more than a sport or a hobby. It is a tool for character building. Since 1992, my mission has been to make authentic Okinawan karate accessible to everyone. Everything taught at OSK Federation stems directly from the Shorinkan Honbu Dojo in Okinawa. I continue my own training under Hanshi Minoru Nakazato to ensure that the techniques—from Kihon (basics) to Kata (forms) and Kobudo (weapons)—remain pure and unchanged. My programs are structured to fit into your daily life: * **School Enrichment Programs:** We provide integrated martial arts training for schools, focusing on mass-training, discipline, and fitness conditioning right on your campus. This keeps training structured, safe, and convenient for parents. * **Residential Community Batches:** We set up in apartment clubhouses or courtyards, creating a neighborhood hub for both kids and adults. This fosters a sense of community and makes consistent practice easier to maintain. * **Practical Self-Defense Workshops:** These are specialized, single-session seminars. We do not teach fancy, impractical moves. Instead, we focus on situational awareness, safety, and simple techniques that work in real-world scenarios. We practice hard. We stay humble. Whether you are a parent looking for a disciplined environment for your child or an adult interested in learning authentic martial arts, the training is rigorous but grounded. Join us, and let us train hard together. ## About Suresh Kenichira I am Shihan Suresh Kenichira. For over three decades, I have been dedicated to passing on the traditions I learned at the Honbu Dojo in Okinawa. I believe that martial arts should be accessible to everyone, which is why I bring my programs directly to schools and apartment communities instead of asking you to travel.
