Salil Nadkarni Dojo

This is THE place in India for learning authentic and traditional Okinawan karate and kobudo (weaponry). The training philosophy followed here goes back to the days when the fighters coming out of Okinawa were a force to be reckoned with. Salil Nadkarni Sensei, a multiple time world champion and a "Sensei of Sensei" award nominee at the 2016 Isshinryu Karate Hall of Fame event, walks the walk and expects all his students to do the same. With training techniques and practices that utilise the best aspects of different Karate styles in particular and Martial Arts in general, IKKAI is THE place to begin your journey towards becoming a more effective human being through the study of Martial Arts.

I've been training under Sensei Salil for 12 years. He's an excellent teacher and is an 8th dan black belt in Isshinryu Karate and Okinawan kobudo. I have come a long way under Sensei's guidance as I am a 4th dan black belt in isshinryu karate and 3rd dan black belt in okinawan kobudo. The dojo itself has real zen vibes as it is amidst greenery and you get to learn martial arts with and without weapons. Karate is a must for everyone to build confidence, improve health and discipline.

My daughter goes to this dojo. This is one of the few authentic schools of karate and kobudo, that adheres to the original lineage. There are many martial arts schools that have sprouted over the last decade or so, bit most of them are pop versions, with YouTube trained instructors. Sensai Nadkarni and his wife have trained in the traditional method, directly under masters at Okinawa.
