Getting started
No experience, uniform or special fitness needed. Just bring a willingness to learn.
Call, WhatsApp or send us a message. Tell us who the classes are for and where you live, and we’ll suggest the right class and time.
Wear comfortable sportswear and arrive ten minutes early. Karate is practised barefoot, and your instructor will guide you through every step.
Join the academy, get your white gi and begin working towards your first belt grading.
Gradings
Progress in Shito-Ryu is measured through the kyu (coloured-belt) grades. At each grading students show their basics (kihon), kata and kumite, and every new belt is earned, never given.
After the kyu grades comes shodan, the first-degree black belt, and then the higher Dan grades. Since May 2026, black belt and Dan examinations to World Shito-Ryu Karate-Do Federation standards are held in India with visiting international examiners.
Tell us who is training and where you live, and we will recommend a class.
