You will practice specific release methods from wrist grabs, hair pulls, and chokeholds, focusing on physics and leverage to break free from opponents regardless of physical size. ### Rooted in Tradition, Designed for Reality My approach to self-defense is built upon the authentic Shorin-ryu Karate I studied in Okinawa. I do not teach cinematic moves that look good on screen but fail on the street. Instead, we focus on simple strikes, blocks, and release methods that anyone can execute. ### Workshops for Every Environment Whether you are a corporate team looking to build team safety awareness, a college campus organizing a seminar, or an individual wanting to join a batch at my Honbu Dojo in Panduranga Nagar, the syllabus remains consistent and practical. - **Situational Awareness:** We simulate everyday risks like parking lot safety or elevator encounters to help you identify threats before they escalate. - **Hands-on Training:** You will work with focus pads and shields to understand the impact of your strikes and blocks. - **Certification:** Every attendee receives a certificate upon completion, validating their commitment to personal safety. ### The Importance of Mindset Physical training is only half the battle. If your mind is not prepared, your body will not react under pressure. During our sessions, I include time to discuss the legal rights regarding self-defense and the mental strategies required to trust your instincts. You will learn to stand your ground and use your voice as a tool for safety. Training requires effort and commitment. As we say in the dojo, Mada tarinu (it is still not enough). We keep training, learning, and growing together. ## About Suresh Kenichira I am Shihan Suresh Kenichira.
