Authentic Okinawan Karate & Self-Defense Training in Bengaluru
We teach traditional Shorin-ryu Karate and practical self-defense skills to build confidence, discipline, and real-world safety, rooted in authentic Okinawan lineage.
My workshops are hands-on and focus on building confidence through practical application. Here, you can see participants learning and practicing essential self-defense techniques, turning knowledge into instinct.

About Featured
When you train with us, we focus on reality, not just routine. We practice in everyday clothing like jeans or salwars to simulate actual street situations, rather than relying solely on formal gis. My instructors and I emphasize high-impact, simple movements—like escaping a wrist grab or controlling your distance—so that you learn techniques you can actually use when under pressure.
For over three decades, I have been committed to the study and teaching of Shorin-ryu Karate, a journey that has taken me repeatedly to the Honbu Dojo in Okinawa, Japan, to train under masters like Hanshi Minoru Nakazato. Recently, I was honored to receive my Kyoshi Nanadan (7th Dan) certification, which validates our adherence to these traditional techniques. My approach to martial arts is built on the belief that discipline leads to consistency, and consistency leads to growth.
Our training programs are designed to be practical. Whether you are attending a women's self-defense workshop, a corporate safety seminar, or traditional Kobudo weapon classes, you will find a curriculum that emphasizes:
The Curriculum
- Situational Awareness: Understanding how to recognize and de-escalate potential threats before physical contact occurs.
- Practical Mechanics: Moves are drawn from our Okinawan heritage but adapted for modern life. We focus on striking soft targets and using leverage rather than brute strength.
- Mental Fortitude: Physical skill is only half the battle. We work on maintaining a sharp, calm mind under stress, which is essential for effective self-defense.
I personally lead our workshops, supported by my team of certified black belt instructors who ensure each student maintains proper form. We have trained over 50,000 students across 30+ schools and numerous corporate partners. Whether you are a beginner or a serious practitioner preparing for Black Belt grading, our Honbu Dojo in Panduranga Nagar provides an environment rooted in respect, history, and real technique. We do not just teach moves; we help you build the confidence to navigate the world safely.
