    Vision

  • Our Vision is to popularize karate among women, kids and special children.
  • We see karate as not just as a Martial Art form, but as a way of living.
  • We believe that Karate is not just restricted to self-defence, but it is a key to enlightenment.
  • For us, one's fear is one's first enemy and once a person wins over his/her own fears, then he/she can win over anybody in the world and strive towards it.
  • We want every human being to get rid of four evils - Fear, Laziness, Anger, and Ego, and we believe that those who get rid of these transform themselves into strongest and ablest person in the world.
