Welcome to Uechi Ryu Karate Do Kenyukai Dojo, a distinguished Karate school in Kannur committed to fostering discipline, strength, and a harmonious spirit. Under the esteemed guidance of Shihan K. V. Manoharan, the first Indian to earn a black belt in both Okinawa Uechi Ryu Karate Do and Okinawa Shorin Ryu Reihokan Kobudo, students are offered a unique blend of traditional and contemporary martial arts training.
Rooted in the rich history of Uechi Ryu, which originated in China as "Pangainoon" meaning an amalgamation of strength and softness, our dojo emphasizes a balanced approach to martial arts. This blend of hard and soft techniques forms the foundation of our training, encouraging students to develop both physical prowess and mental resilience. Whether a seasoned martial artist or a beginner, everyone finds a welcoming space to grow and learn.
Our community spirit shines through in every class and event, from regular training sessions to special camps and international championships. Highlights include our annual Summer Camps, where advanced training in Kihon, Kata, and Kumite propels participants to new heights. Each event, such as the prestigious All India Invitational Karate Do Kobudo Championship, showcases the talent and dedication of our students, making Uechi Ryu Karate Do Kenyukai Dojo a beacon of excellence in the martial arts community.
At Uechi Ryu Karate Do Kenyukai Dojo, the focus extends beyond physical training; it cultivates a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect among its members. The Karate Times, our proudly published monthly magazine since 1994, serves to educate and unify the global martial arts community, dispelling myths and fostering a deeper understanding of this profound art form. Join us in this journey of self-improvement, cultural appreciation, and undying spirit!
