About Self-Defense Workshops
What We're About
I want you to feel strong from the inside out. At Rajesh Thakkar's Karate Academy, self-defense isn't just about fighting - it's about finding that spark in you and using it when life throws something unexpected. My workshops break down years of Goju-Ryu Karate into simple moves anyone can use.
What You'll Learn
- Basics like stances, movement, and how to spot trouble early
- Easy punches, kicks, and blocks that actually work outside the dojo
- Drills on pads to get your speed and power up
- Partner exercises, always in a safe and controlled way
Who Can Join
Doesn't matter if you're a total newbie or never worn a gi in your life. These beginner self-defense techniques are for all ages - I've taught kids, aunties, office folks, and even grandpas. Lot of focus goes into women's self-protection classes - for moms, students, sisters. If you're from a company or group, we run community safety workshops too.
How We Do It
Since 1980, we've built a space where you can try, mess up, and get better without anyone judging. We make sure everyone feels safe and respected. You'll see - it's not just about karate moves, it's about getting ready for real-life threat response training.
Ganbatte, boss! (Give it your best!)

My Story
I’m Rajesh Thakkar, running this academy since 1980. For me, karate isn’t just kicks and punches, it’s how you live. I’ve watched chhote bachche (little kids) come in wild, leave as black belts, some even Sensei now. Here, age doesn’t matter, heart does. We’re a family, not just an academy. We push, we laugh, we even eat together sometimes. Real win? Becoming better humans, every day.
My Work
Goju-Ryu Karate Classes (All Ages) - We teach Goju-Ryu karate to everyone, from 4-year-old kids to 60-plus. No age bar, only spirit matters.
Women's Self-Defense Workshops - Practical workshops for real-life situations. Learn what to do if someone bothers you in bus or train.
Karate Competition Training - Serious about tournaments? We prep you for local, national, even international competitions.
Traditional Karate Philosophy - 'Go' means hard, 'Ju' means soft. We teach you to be strong and gentle both, inside and outside dojo.
Community & Camps - We’re a family, not just students. Regular camps, tournaments, and lifelong friendships, not just medals.
