YKKF - India Philosophy


It is the mission of the Yudansha Kobujitsu Karate Doh Federation (India) to provide a positive, family-oriented environment for the study of traditional martial arts. Our martial arts focus is one of practical self-defense & sport. All members are treated with respect; our instructors and students are considered equals.

We teach Okinawa Goju Ryu Karate

Goju Ryu is one of the oldest forms of Karate. In fact, many of the other styles present today are based on Goju Ryu. Its focus is toward practical self-defense.

Goju Ryu Karate is our primary focus at the Y.K.K.F.(India). We also hold classes in Judo, TaiChi Chuan & Kick Boxing.

Our Instructors are Students too!

Our instructors are constantly learning. It is naive to believe that you can know everything. With this in mind, we spend a lot of time training ourselves to become better martial artists and people. We have the opportunity to train in with many high-ranking and very experienced people. What we learn, we pass on to our students.

We Teach More than Just Technique

Technique is not enough. We teach blocks, kicks, and punches, but we teach good sense too: where and when, how and why. We have found that learning karate actually helps to calm individuals and our students are actually involved in fewer fights.

Karate is not a Sport

At least not the way we teach it. We teach common-sense martial arts to serious individuals. Many of our students and some of our instructors do take part in tournaments, but our focus is toward practical self-defense as well as personal health and spiritual development.

Karate is not Magic

There is no mystical force behind success in Karate. Becoming good at Karate is a simple matter of hard work and practice. The ability is in everyone, young and old. We have members of all ages.

All our Instructors are Volunteers

Few of the instructors at the Y.K.K.F.(India) make money from teaching karate. We are all upstanding members of your community who hold day-jobs and teach karate in the evenings strictly out of love of the art and a desire to pass on our teachings to a new generation.

Discipline

We don't train bullies. We teach people karate. The process of learning Karate requires focus and discipline. Many of our students have shown marked improvement in their grades at school, their self-confidence and their attention span. As our students help each other to learn, their interpersonal skills develop.

We don't Beat up Anyone

Some people fear they will be treated harshly in the first months of Karate. Not at our club. Our intention is to teach, not hospitalize. We openly welcome spectators to attend and see for themselves. In fact, we strongly encourage parents, wives, husbands, and friends to watch classes. We push our students to perform to the best of their abilities, we do not injure or abuse them.
