I, Sensei Ravi Carvalho, welcome you to
Kyokushin Bangalore Online. This site explains you what Kyokushin Karate is,
and how is it different from other styles of Karate.
Let me first give you a small introduction about myself and my Dojo (Karate
School) the "Raclo Dojo" (Ravi Carvalho Dojo) for short. Right, from my
school days I had a interest towards, martial arts. After my education I joined
the "Shotokan Kai" Karate and received my Brown Belt after three years. I then
gave a visit to a "Kyokushin Dojo", which intrested me a lot. I joined
Kyokushin in 1987 because of the difference in the style i.e. the kicks,
punches, blocks, etc. where a lot different.
In 1992, I received the Black belt (Shodan). I have also, attended a couple of
State & National tournaments and took part in Singapore International Open
Knock Down Karate Tournament. I wanted to dedicate my life towards Karate and
hence opened my own Dojo "Raclo Dojo"on October the 18th,
1994, at Young Men's Indian Association (YMIA) in Bangalore, India. Raclo Dojo
is internationally recognized by " Kyokushin Kan International
(KKI)", Japan.
