We practice Shotokan Karate which is the toughest among the four major Karate styles. The training is provided to all strata of people irrespective of age, gender and religion. The belt grading is conducted regularly to take students to the next level and the endorsement is awarded directly by Bodhidharma JKS India. The certification is recognized by Japan Karate Federation, World Karate Federation, Asian Karate Federation, All India Karate Federation & Kerala Karate Association
Rei was initially founded with a mission to contribute to women empowerment, but later expanded its training to men. We look forward to crafting strong characters and healthier lifestyles with a vision to empower our country
Rei derived its name from the Japanese word ‘礼’ meaning bowing to show respect for others. The logo exactly reveals what it means by ‘Rei’. The green leaves shows concern for nature and the yellow wooden text indicates positive thinking. The man who bows conveys the message ‘Karate begins and ends with respect’ an important precept by Gichin Funakoshi, the father of modern Karate.
