For me, it’s about building real discipline and learning respect, both for yourself and others. “Built for Warriors. Forged for Life.” isn’t just a motto - I actually believe karate should make you stronger inside and out. Whether you join us to get tougher, learn self-defense, or just want to challenge yourself, you’ll find your own path here. ### Two Ways to Train - JKA Shotokan karate classes for those who want tradition, focus, and precise moves. All our basics come from the roots, and we’re officially linked with the Japan Karate Association. - Full-contact Kyokushin training if you’re after raw power and resilience. Sparring here is tough, but it’s real and helps you grow thick skin. ### Who Fits In? - Kids karate programs that keep it fun, but still teach focus and respect. - Adults who want to train for self-defense, fitness, or just a mental reset. - Total beginners. No stress if you’re new - everyone starts somewhere. ### What’s in a Class? - Basics, kata (forms), kumite (sparring), and plenty of conditioning. - Karate self-defense techniques are part of every session. - JKA certified instructors, some trained in Japan, will actually guide you - not just bark orders. ### Real Growth, Not Just Belts Getting to black belt takes time. You’ll sweat, you’ll want to give up some days, but it’s the community and your own progress that’ll keep you hooked. For me, that’s what makes the journey worth it. ## Highlights Browse through The Dojo's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/thedojoblr/karate-training/featured) - ![A female student executes a powerful high kick, demonstrating the strength and precision taught in our Kyokushin karate classes.

Not just a gym, this place is kinda like a second home for fighters, kids, office folks, anyone. Watching our coach Uma Maheshwar fight for India at Asian Games, that was wild. We’re all about sweat, sore muscles, big grins after class. Tomorrow, we’re back at it. That’s the vibe. Warrior spirit, always. ### My work - **All Martial Arts Under One Roof**: We teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Gi/No Gi), MMA, Muay Thai, Kyokushin Karate, Shotokan, boxing, and conditioning. - **Classes for Every Age and Level**: Kids, teens, adults - we’ve got batches for everyone. Special women's self-defense seminar too. - **Top Coaches, Real Experience**: Our team’s packed with pros, IV Dan Black Belts, and athletes who’ve competed worldwide. - **Proper Dojo Vibes**: Space is clean, has showers, pantry, feels like a real Japanese dojo. You come, you train, you focus. - **More Than Training**: We’re a community. Discipline, respect, helping each other grow. Mind, body, spirit - all in. ## More services from The Dojo - [Striking Arts](https://mytribe.in/thedojoblr/striking-arts) · ₹600-2,600 per session (estimate) - [Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ)](https://mytribe.in/thedojoblr/brazilian-jiu-jitsu-bjj) · ₹700-3,000 per session (estimate) - [Fitness and Conditioning](https://mytribe.in/thedojoblr/fitness-and-conditioning) · ₹600-3,000 per session (estimate) - [Women's Self-Defense](https://mytribe.in/thedojoblr/women-s-self-defense) · ₹3,800-4,800 per month (estimate) - [Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)](https://mytribe.in/thedojoblr/mixed-martial-arts-mma) · ₹3,800-4,200 per month (estimate) ## Experts similar to The Dojo on mytribe - [Karate Training by GD Sharma](https://mytribe.in/karate_class_bangalore_/karate-training) · ₹2,000-5,500 per student per month (estimate) · THE LIFE ENGINEERING FOUNDATION - [Kyokushin Karate Training by Ravi Carvalho](https://mytribe.in/kyokushin_raclo_dojo/kyokushin-karate-training) · ₹1,500-3,500 per month (estimate) · kyokushin Martial Art school - [Karate Training (Kids & Adults) by Sudokann Martial Arts](https://mytribe.in/zainmartialarts/karate-training-kids-adults) · ₹2,200-2,800 per month (estimate) · Sudokann martial arts - [Shotokan Karate Training by Temple of Martial Arts](https://mytribe.in/tma_karate/shotokan-karate-training) · ₹1,600-2,200 per month (estimate) · Temple of Martial Arts - Bannerughatta - [Karate & Martial Arts Classes by Derick Kishan](https://mytribe.in/bangalorebudokan_/karate-martial-arts-classes) · ₹1,800-2,800 per month (estimate) · Budokan Martial Arts - [Traditional Shorin-Ryu Karate by Midhun Valiya Parambil](https://mytribe.in/seibukanbangalore/traditional-shorin-ryu-karate) · ₹2,800-3,500 per month (estimate) · Shorin Ryu Seibukan Karate Bangalore - [Karate & Self-Defense by Daya Nanthan](https://mytribe.in/dayananthan_k/karate-self-defense) · ₹1,500-3,000 per student per month (estimate) · INFINITY DANCE CREW - IDC - AECS LAYOUT - [Shito-ryu Karate Classes by Shito-ryu Karate Warriors Academy](https://mytribe.in/karnatakakarate/shito-ryu-karate-classes) · ₹1,400-2,800 per month (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Martial Arts & Self-Defense Training by Dada](https://mytribe.in/dadabangalore/martial-arts-self-defense-training) · ₹1,800-2,500 per month (estimate) · Sri Durga Parameshwari Temple ## Book To book The Dojo, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Karate%20Training%20by%20The%20Dojo.)
