Traditional Shorin-Ryu Karate

My Approach: This Isn’t Sport Karate

I teach authentic Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Seibukan Karate-Do. Here, it’s not about winning medals or playing games - this is about building character and sticking to the old-school way. Everything we do follows our Dojo Kun: respect, truth, effort, etiquette, and never being reckless. I keep it real, because that’s how my teacher in Okinawa taught me.

What Makes This Different

Our karate comes straight from Okinawa, the origin of the art. I learned under Grand Master Zenpo Shimabukuro, and what we practice in Bangalore is just like in the headquarters in Japan. We’re part of the International Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Seibukan Karate-Do group, so when you train here, you get the real deal - not a watered-down version.

Training Structure: Old School, Step by Step

• Kata is the heart of our training. My teacher always said, “The basic of karate is kata.” It’s not just moves; it’s the whole encyclopedia of techniques and principles.
• We drill the basics hard: correct stances, sharp punches, using your hips properly. I give feedback, sometimes you’ll hear me say, “Use the hip, forty-five degree, elbow straight.”
• Partner work (kumite) and conditioning with traditional tools like the makiwara build power and resilience.

Belts aren’t handed out easily. You earn every rank by showing real effort. When you pass, you get certificates recognized in Okinawa.

Who Fits In Here

Kids, adults, beginners, anyone who’s serious about learning. Some join for self-defense, some for discipline or character development in martial arts. It’s a journey - not a quick fix.

The Seibukan Community

When you train with us, you join a group that supports each other. We celebrate grading ceremonies. If you’re dedicated, you might even get to train at our annual karate seminar in Okinawa with the Grand Master and others from across the globe.
