About Self-Defense Workshops
Why I Teach Self-Defense
I’ve been teaching self-defense since 1992 because I want people to feel confident, not just in a dojo, but wherever they are. For me, it's not just about fighting back - it's about learning to stand your ground, trust your instincts, and know you can handle yourself in tough spots.
What Happens in My Workshops
- I mix mental training and physical skills. Confidence matters as much as technique.
- You’ll learn how to handle stress and stay sharp under pressure.
- The moves I teach come from Okinawan Karate but are all about being practical: simple strikes, blocks, and ways to break free if someone grabs you.
- Everything is hands-on. No lectures, just practice, demos, and real feedback.
Who Can Join & How It Works
- I run women’s safety training, corporate self-defense classes, and sessions for schools and colleges.
- I’ve worked with all sorts of groups - from doctors to business students.
- You can join at your office, school, or at my main dojo in Bangalore.
- I lead every session myself with help from my team. After you finish, you get a certificate (good for your CV, but more for your own confidence).
My Promise
I won’t sugarcoat it - learning self-defense takes effort and a bit of guts. But I’ll make sure you walk away with real-life self-defense skills you can actually use. Ganbatte! (Keep going.)

My Story
Started back in 1992 with just 14 folks, now we’re teaching 50,000+ every year—pretty wild, right? 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.
