LEVEL 03 · THE KARATE DIVISION
The active karate training division of MARTIAL ARTS 365, operating under the technical governance of the Sahyadri Shivamogga District Sports Karate Association (SSDSKA) across three branch dojos.
The Active Karate Branch
KARATE 365 is the operational karate division within the broader MARTIAL ARTS 365 initiative, governed by the Sahyadri Shivamogga District Sports Karate Association (SSDSKA).
While SSDSKA provides administrative and technical governance and MARTIAL ARTS 365 embodies the overarching multi-discipline initiative, KARATE 365 is where students tie their belts, step onto the tatami, and train every week in Shivamogga.
At KARATE 365, karate is taught not merely as a scoring sport or physical workout, but as a path of character building, emotional poise, and practical self-defence.
Classes are structured methodically for children, teenagers, and adult practitioners. Novice students begin with fundamental stances (Dachi), balance, and breathing mechanics before advancing through formal choreographies (Kata) and controlled sparring drills (Kumite).
All three active branch dojos follow an aligned curriculum under SSDSKA standards. Regular belt grading assessments ensure fair, merit-based progress through a standardized 10-tier syllabus.
Operating as Level 3: the active karate division executing training under MARTIAL ARTS 365 and SSDSKA.
The district karate association providing governance, syllabus integrity, belt certification standards, and athletic ethics across Shivamogga.
The broader martial arts initiative established within SSDSKA to promote multifaceted disciplines, daily fitness habit, and martial arts philosophy across Shivamogga.
Conducts daily grassroots karate training, Kihon/Kata/Kumite syllabus, and 10-tier belt examinations under SSDSKA technical governance across 3 active branch dojos.
Traditional karate training at KARATE 365 balances three essential pillars, calibrated to build physical power, technical accuracy, and composed reflexes safely.
Evaluations follow official SSDSKA standards from 10th Kyu (White Belt) to 1st Dan (Black Belt), focusing on character, attendance, and technical precision.
View Belt Progression SyllabusThe foundation of all karate: rooted stances (Zenkutsu-dachi, Kiba-dachi), straight punches (Chudan Tsuki), rising and downward blocks (Age-uke, Gedan-barai), and snap kicks (Mae-geri). Repetition builds muscle memory and joint stability.
Pre-arranged sequences simulating tactical defense and counter-attacks against multiple opponents. Kata teaches rhythmic pacing, diaphragmatic breathing, center-of-gravity balance, and spatial visualization.
Controlled partner drills and sparring conducted under strict instructor supervision with mandatory safety etiquette. Kumite develops real-time distance perception (Ma-ai), reflexive timing, and emotional composure.
Physical prowess without ethical discipline is incomplete. We instill five core precepts: seek perfection of character, be faithful, endeavor, respect others, and refrain from violent behavior.
Conveniently located training centers providing structured daily batches under verified instructor guidance.
