About
Welcome to Kokino International Martial Arts Academy, a premier institution dedicated to the art and discipline of traditional Japanese Ogasahara Shito-ryu Karate. With a rich legacy spanning over 45 years, the academy has imparted martial arts wisdom to more than 55,000 students, cultivating a community rooted in discipline, dedication, and excellence. The accolades and achievements of our students in both national and international arenas stand testament to our unwavering commitment to their growth and success.
Kokino takes immense pride in pioneering the introduction of "Safety Nunchaku" in India. Unlike traditional Nunchaku, these are designed with foam or rubber connected by rope, rendering them lightweight and safe for practitioners of all ages. Our Grand Master, Soshihan S. Kothandan, has meticulously developed techniques, a structured syllabus, and a belt system specifically for Safety Nunchaku, transforming it into a regulated sport. This innovative training tool is not only an excellent fit for children but also serves as a beneficial instrument for all ages, emphasizing flexibility, speed, and ease of use.
As a non-profitable, service-oriented organization, Kokino International aims to empower the youth of India by promoting strength, discipline, and patriotism through martial arts. The academy collaborates with various government and private entities to further the reach of Karate and Safety Nunchaku across the nation and the globe. Our mission is encapsulated in our guiding motto: “Perfection is our Pride; Truth, Fairness, Dedication & Discipline are our guide.”
