About

At Temple of Martial Arts, we don’t care much for trophies or competition glory. For us, self-defense is about being ready for whatever comes your way - not just in the dojo, but out on the street or in daily life. We train fighters, not just champions. Fear? That word doesn't exist here.

What Makes Our Self-Defense Different

We keep things simple and practical. No fancy moves or complicated routines. Everything we teach is designed for real-world situations. Our practical self-defense training focuses on Shotokan Karate techniques, but we adapt them so anyone can use them, whatever your age or body type.

  • Fast, effective strikes and blocks
  • Situational drills for common attacks
  • Sparring sessions to build confidence
  • Power exercises like board breaking to show how technique beats brute force

Empowerment for Women and Girls

Too many people say "ladies are weak" - I don’t buy that. We put special focus on martial arts for women empowerment. Our training helps unlock inner strength, pushing you to believe in yourself and react with confidence if trouble comes your way.

Who Joins Us

Our self-defense classes for beginners welcome everyone. Kids, adults, total newbies - it doesn’t matter. You just need the will to learn and the discipline to keep at it. The journey isn’t easy, but when life throws punches, your training will be your backup.

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.
