After three decades in martial arts, I've seen how simple skills can change lives. My goal is to help you feel safe and strong, whether you're at home, at college, or just walking down the street. ### What Happens in My Workshops - You learn basic, powerful techniques straight from traditional Karate-do. - We focus a lot on situational awareness - spotting trouble before it starts. - I show you practical escape techniques, not just how to fight but how to get away safe. - Every session is hands-on. I don't do boring lectures; you practice everything with me and my team. ### Authentic Okinawan Karate The way we teach here is just like they teach in Okinawa - *alli hege teach madtare, same illi navu teach madtivi* (the way they teach there, that's how we teach here). Each year, I train with the masters in Japan, so you get the real thing, not some watered-down version. ### Open to All - Women's safety self-defense classes are our most popular, but we also work with schools, colleges, corporates, and communities. - We run workshops in apartments, offices, and schools across Bangalore. - Whether you're a total beginner or have some experience, you fit right in. ### What You'll Take Away You'll walk out not just knowing moves, but feeling more confident, disciplined, and empowered. Fitness is a bonus. For me, that's the real win. ## Highlights Browse through OSK Federation's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/shihan_suresh_kenichira/self-defense-workshops/featured) - [Video: This is what empowerment looks like.

Vishraantiyannu badigittu (kept rest aside), I put my whole life into teaching. My Karate roots are from Okinawa, Japan, not Kerala, though I’m from Wayanad. Every year, we go there, train, and bring the authentic Shorin-ryu Shorinkan syllabus back. My teachers, Nakazato Hanshi, showed me the real way. Now, seeing our students become instructors - that’s the real proud moment. OSK is one big family, built on discipline. ### My work - **Karate, Kobudo & Self-Defense Classes**: We teach traditional Okinawan Karate, Kobudo weapons, and self-defense workshops for youth and adults. - **Authentic Shorin-ryu Shorinkan Syllabus**: No shortcuts. Whatever is taught in Okinawa, same syllabus here. We go every year to train and keep it real. - **Karate for Life**: It’s not just a sport. Pratiyobbaru kalibekagiro Karate (everyone should learn Karate). Discipline, health, and confidence for life. - **Largest Karate School in India**: From 14 students to 50,000+ yearly. Classes in Bangalore, Mysore, Kolar, Sri Lanka. Honbu Dojo is in Bangalore. - **Karate Summer Camps**: We run popular summer camps and workshops for schools, corporate groups, and apartments. ## More services from OSK Federation - [Kobudo Weapons Training](https://mytribe.in/shihan_suresh_kenichira/kobudo-weapons-training) · ₹2,500-6,000 per month (estimate) - [Karate Training](https://mytribe.in/shihan_suresh_kenichira/karate-training) · ₹1,200-3,500 per student per month (estimate) ## Experts similar to OSK Federation on mytribe - [Self-Defense Workshops by Suresh Kenichira](https://mytribe.in/osk_federation_of_india/self-defense-workshops) · ₹500-1,500 per participant (estimate) · OSK Federation of India - [Self-Defense Workshops by Ravi Carvalho](https://mytribe.in/kyokushin_raclo_dojo/self-defense-workshops) · ₹7-18K per session (estimate) · kyokushin Martial Art school - [Self-Defense Workshops by Derick Kishan](https://mytribe.in/bangalorebudokan_/self-defense-workshops) · ₹8-40K per session (estimate) · RT Nagar - [Seasonal Karate Camps by OSK Academy](https://mytribe.in/oskacademy/seasonal-karate-camps) · ₹3,000-8,000 per child per camp (estimate) · Padmanabhanagar - [Self-Defense Workshops by Karate Naveen](https://mytribe.in/karate.naveen/self-defense-workshops) · ₹8-25K per workshop (estimate) · Tirupathur - [Karate Summer Camp by GD Sharma](https://mytribe.in/karate_class_bangalore_/karate-summer-camp) · ₹3,000-7,000 per child per camp (estimate) · THE LIFE ENGINEERING FOUNDATION - [Self-Defence Workshops by Ippon Martial Arts & Fitness](https://mytribe.in/ippon_institute/self-defence-workshops) · ₹400-1,200 per participant per 1-hour workshop (estimate) · Ippon Institute of Martial Arts & Fitness - [Self-Defense Workshops by Thunder Martial Arts](https://mytribe.in/thundermartialarts.tma/self-defense-workshops) · ₹8-25K per workshop (2 hours, up to 30 participants) (estimate) · Thunder Martial Arts - [Self-Defense Workshops by The School of Martial Arts](https://mytribe.in/theschoolofmartialarts/self-defense-workshops) · ₹8-25K per workshop/session (estimate) · The School of Martial Arts - [Self-Defense Workshops by United Budokan Karate Academy](https://mytribe.in/unitedbudokankarate/self-defense-workshops) · ₹8-25K per workshop session (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Self-Defense & Weapons Training by Ashoka Martial Arts Academy](https://mytribe.in/ashokmartialarts/self-defense-weapons-training) · ₹1,200-4,500 per student per month (estimate) · Ashoka Martial Arts Academy Karate Classes - [Karate for Schools & Institutions by Amarsha Karate & Fitness Academy](https://mytribe.in/team_akfa/karate-for-schools-institutions) · ₹500-1,200 per student per month (estimate) · Future Leaders Academy ## Book To book OSK Federation, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Self-Defense%20Workshops%20by%20OSK%20Federation.)
