We teach in large, mixed-level community batches because watching a senior practitioner practice alongside a junior student builds a culture of respect. Whether you are a parent bringing your child to their first class or an adult finally making time for yourself, expect a supportive environment where progress is personal, not just a race to the next belt. Our training follows traditional Okinawan Goju-Ryu principles. We focus on 'Go' (hard) and 'Ju' (soft), helping students develop physical strength and mental flexibility. ### Training for Kids We introduce children as young as four to the basics. It is not just about punches; it is about listening, posture, and self-belief. We see 'kiddus' grow from wild energy into disciplined students who respect the Dojo. ### Training for Adults We have dedicated sessions for adults who want to maintain fitness or learn self-defense. It is never too late to start. Many of our students have picked up their first Gi after forty and found a new way to relieve stress. ### The Dojo Experience We operate out of community venues like St. Mary's School in Byculla and P.J. Hindu Gymkhana at Marine Lines. We prioritize the 'family' aspect of our dojo, meaning you will find students supporting one another through grading, tournaments, and daily practice. Expect a rigorous 90-minute session that includes Kihon (basics), Kata (forms), and Kumite (sparring). You will need to purchase your own Gi and gear separately. Most importantly, bring a mindset ready to learn. ## About Rajesh Thakkar's Karate Academy I am Rajesh Thakkar, and I have been teaching karate since 1980.
