About

For me, being a competitor in karate isn't just about the medals. It's about building discipline, character, and keeping your health strong - "aarogyana kapadikolli" (take care of your health) is something I repeat often. We push hard, but never lose our humility. Osu!

How We Train for the Big Leagues

Our competitive karate training covers every angle:

• Kumite Sessions: Here, it's all about smart fighting and control, not just throwing punches. We use full protective gear, so injuries are rare. Every session, I'm right there, correcting and motivating.
• Kata Performance Training: Kata is non-negotiable. We drill together, sometimes in the dojo, sometimes outside. From basics to advanced forms, we focus on detail and timing.
• Karate Conditioning Drills: Training is tough - lots of fitness work, flexibility, and core strength. Some days you'll feel tired, but that's where champions are made.

Where We Compete

My students, namma makkalu (our children), have gone from local youth karate tournaments to international karate competitions. We’ve stood on podiums in London, Kuala Lumpur, and all over India. I travel with them, sometimes as coach, sometimes as parent.

More Than an Academy

Honestly, we’re like family. Wins are celebrated joragi (with energy), and so are birthdays. We back each other up, through training and life. For us, discipline and heart go hand in hand.
