About
Twenty years of successful history in training many people in OKINAWA martial arts style. Once said by a great man ' Knowing is not enough, We must apply ' followed as the only path & desire for the perfection in what we practice has been the only motto since all these years. From Sensei Balusu Kishore, 'As a coach of self-preservation I am well aware of my responsibility to my students who not only put their trust in me. Equally their lives are in my hands, as they accept that what I am teaching them will enable them to protect themselves. Unlike my life growing up, most of my students haven’t been in serious interpersonal violent encounters. Outside of tollywood, and the dreaded news, they have no context or even experience to know for sure, that what I am teaching them is right to begin with. One can quit easily see how this relationship can be abused. In fact you see it all the time. I feel that if more ‘self-defence’ instructors understood the serious nature of their roles in their students lives - and that what they teach tonight, may unfortunately have to be used possibly to save their students life the very next day - that they would think more carefully about what and how they teach. Sadly, what is often taught is an accumulation of techniques, chasing belts and a bloated curriculum (Much of which is established to make more money). Now nowhere am I saying that teaching techniques is not important. I have to start somewhere with a new student, and seen that they come in with little or no understanding of the ‘fight’ game – I have to first lay down a formative structure. This formative structure will take the form of core techniques that I believe are the essential fighting tools that every human should possess. But this is likely where I diverge from my contemporaries. I am not interested in teaching a buffet of techniques, codified in some kind of artificial hierarchy of basic techniques, rising to the most advanced. If there is such a thing as an ‘advanced’ technique, then it is rather a persons ability to take what they have learned, and find the most appropriate and efficient way to adapt those techniques for a wide range of contexts'. Okinawan martial arts refers to the martial arts which originated among the indigenous people of Okinawa Island, most notably karate, tegumi and Okinawan kobudō. Due to its central location, Okinawa was influenced by various cultures such as Japan, China, and Southeast Asia with a long history of trade and cultural exchange with China that greatly influenced the development of martial arts on Okinawa.
