### My story

They call me Renshi A.P. Nagendra Babu. Started Temple of Martial Arts in 1990. Every day, I see age is just a number – in the dojo, with students, old and young. This place isn’t just about techniques. We train for life, so when things get tough, you stand up. Watching kids grow into black belts, seeing parents swell with pride – that’s the real reward. When a girl says ‘No princess, I want to be a black belt’ – that’s our spirit.

### My work

- **Karate, Self Defense & Power Yoga**: We train all ages in karate, kids self defense classes, and power yoga for fighters.
- **Philosophy & Respect**: Karate here is lifelong. We build fighters, not just champions. Respect is where it begins and ends.
- **Structured Black Belt Journey**: From white belt to black belt ceremony, every step is earned, celebrated with family and pride.
- **Empowerment, Especially for Girls**: We want every girl to feel strong – ‘Touch me, first lesson is free’. Confidence and strength for all.
