Authentic Shotokan Karate and Self-Defense Training
Train in traditional Asai-ryu Shotokan Karate under Sensei Amit Khatri. From kids' foundations to intense adult fitness and practical self-defense, join our community to build strength, discipline, and a sharper mind.
This is what controlled combat, or Kumite, looks like in our dojo. We focus on practical, effective techniques for self-defense, teaching students how to apply their skills with precision and respect in a safe sparring environment.
I am incredibly proud of my young students after a successful belt grading. Seeing their happy faces with their new belts and certificates is the greatest reward. My classes for kids focus on building discipline and confidence from an early age.
We often take our training to the beach for a change of scenery and a new challenge. These sessions include everything from running and agility drills in the sand to handstands and strength exercises, building functional fitness and mental toughness.
With my teacher, Shihan Kousaku Yokota. I have been his direct student for over 12 years, and his guidance in Asai-ryu Shotokan is the foundation of everything I teach. This lineage ensures you receive authentic, high-quality karate instruction.
Discipline and teamwork in action during a senior team Kata performance. Kata, or forms, are a core part of our training, helping students perfect their balance, rhythm, and technique in a synchronized and powerful display.
My kids' karate classes are open for children aged four and above. It is a great way for them to learn basic self-defense moves, improve their physical fitness, and develop valuable life skills like respect and self-control in a structured class.
Get ready for the Ultimate Warrior League. This is our in-house team competition, giving students a chance to put their training to the test in a spirited and supportive environment. It is an action-packed event for our entire karate family.
We offer a range of programs including traditional Shotokan Karate, cardio kickboxing, and practical self-defense workshops. You can join us for a free trial session to experience our training firsthand at our new Borivali branch.
About Featured
Training here is about direct lineage. Having spent 12 years learning from my teacher, Shihan Kousaku Yokota, I teach Asai-ryu Shotokan exactly as it was passed to me—no watered-down moves. Whether you are here for belt progression, physical conditioning, or practical self-defense, you get the real stuff. We keep the discipline high in class, but the vibe is supportive; you will sweat, you will learn, and you will grow with the rest of the AISKF family.
Our Training Philosophy
At AISKF, we operate on the principle of 'Train Hard, Train Smart.' My focus is on providing comprehensive instruction that goes beyond just memorizing forms. We emphasize Kihon (basics) for a strong foundation, Kata (forms) for balance and rhythm, and controlled Kumite (sparring) for practical application.
Programs for All Ages
We believe martial arts should be accessible.
- Kids: Starting from age 4, we focus on instilling respect, self-control, and basic motor skills through engaging, structured sessions.
- Adults: We offer tailored classes for men and women, ranging from pure Shotokan Karate to high-intensity cardio kickboxing and power yoga.
More Than a Dojo
We recognize that the dojo is only part of the journey. To build true functional fitness, we integrate:
- Beach Training: Agility and endurance drills on sand.
- Fitness Bootcamps: Strength and conditioning to complement your karate practice.
- Warrior League: Our in-house team competition where students test their skills in a spirited environment.
Whether you are training at our Borivali, Kandivali, Malad, or Virar branches, or joining us via our online classes, the standard of instruction remains identical. Every student receives individual attention to ensure technique is precise and safe. If you are ready to stop looking and start doing, contact us to schedule your free trial session and see if our family is the right fit for your goals.
