The
Indian Karate Do Kyokushin Kai (IKK) has been
functioning since 1982 and has created a reputation
in Karate all over the world. IKK, which was founded on
22nd
September 1982 by Shihan Sapan Kumar Chakraborty started
its journey to fame from the Alpa Bachat Bhavan at Pune
(state of Maharashtra)
where our classes have been held regularly. Currently
IKK has its branches over 7 states all over India. |

The
founder and chief instructor of Indian Karate Do
Kyokushin Kai is Shihan Sapan Kumar Chakraborty, a 6th
Dan black belt and one of the oldest instructors in
Pune. Presently training 4,000 students privately, he
conducts training sessions in 7 city schools, and is the
only representative in the country for the Kyokushin
kai, affiliated to the International Federation of
Karate, headquartered in the UK. His sincere aim by
imparting his training is to make the young people of
today more strong – physically and mentally – and enable
them to meet their day-to-day challenges independently,
with calmness and courage. He has also trained the 9th
Battalion Commando Special Forces, and we are proud to
mention that many of our students now hold high ranks in
the Armed Forces, The Police Force, the Customs
Department, and have indeed lived up to the principles
and teachings of Kyokushin Kai Karate. |
