Anandita:

I started practicing kyokushin karate since 2004. Kyokushin karate gave me a lot of confidence and belief in myself. Since then, I see myself pushing my endurance levels. I have realized that boundaries are what we set in our minds. But with proper discipline and commitment one can cross all these boundaries.

Karthik:

I was always facinated by Martial Arts. Karate being a pure form of it, I made up my mind to join that. Karate introduced me to my inner power and thought me that fighting is not about violence, it's about protecting yourself and your society.

Subramanian:

I joined Kyokushin in Nov 2003. I got attracted to Kyokushin Karate by its meaning "the Ultimate Truth or Reality". This is something which goes beyond the art of fighting you could say spiritual. Having said about Kyokushin Karate, I thank Sensei Ravi Carvalho for his patience and the method of teaching Karate to the beginners. I get trained in Cartman Dojo which is a small park in Koramangala filled with greenary and fresh air. I hope to continue this way of life for the times to come..

Sai Dhananjaya:

One can practice and preach peace only when once can defend themselves. This is the reason I joined Kyokushin Karate. Last year has been a definite turnaround for me in terms of self-confidence. I have learnt to overcome my fear factor. I now stand up to what I think is right. Apart from mental flossing that Kyokushin Karate gives, it works out as a perfect fitness regimen. I recommend Kyokushin Karate for all who want to find themselves "the Ultimate Truth", after all...that is what Kyokushin Karate is all about.

Kamalesh:

I have been a student of Raclo Dojo for past one year and training Kyokushin Karate under Sensei Ravi Carvalho. Kyokushin has improved both my physical and mental strength. I was not new to Karate as I had learnt in my school a long time ago. After a gap of 15 years, I have rejoined Kyokushin Karate. Kyokushin has helped me face the difficulties of life. Kyokushin is not just about fighting, but a lot more than that. People of every age group come here and it is a great feeling to be part of this gathering.

I came to Bangalore three months ago and my husband is a regular student of Kyokushin Karate. I used to go along with him everyday and see the students practice. Since then I developed an immense liking towards Kyokushin Karate. I used to learn Karate when I was in school. I told my husband about my interest in Karate and joined Raclo Dojo and now I'm enjoying every class to the fullest.

Bijoy:

I was looking out for a physical activity that would give me good all-around fitness while at the same time keep my interest going for a long period of time. I found Kyokushin Karete to be ideal as it always spurred my interest and it is also a very good way to stay fit with the added bonus of being able to defend onself in precarious situations. Kyokushin Karate suited me most because of its practical and application oriented nature. Attending regular classes in Raclo Dojo has helped me in attaining a desirable fitness level and I am sure it has made me stronger both physically and mentally.
