With a schooling experience of more than four decades, Sobhan Karate Academy is currently operating at two different locations based in Dhaka. We have students from age 5+ to 65, more than 80% of whom are female.
Our logo conveys the principle of self-building through succession under the guidance of different belts and their teaching methods. The human figure in Mawashi Geri kick, breaking out of the red circle, represents that this art of karate also assists our students to create a firm stance in society, confidently facing and going beyond the adversities of stereotype mindset.
Our uniquity is to nurture and train students to be a strong person—fit for our society. We study our recruits and understand their individual psychology. Such practice helps us to map and go through a distinct route to address their mentality and bring out the inner strength they possess.
We train and motivate students for their overall growth in skills, and physical and mental stability. A dojo (karate classroom) is a place that commands focus, respect, and honor. Traditionally, students of all ages must show honor to their instructor as well as other classmates. Our classroom atmosphere exhibits honor, confidence, and prompt obedience that the students catch quickly. Our parents have noted an increased level of compliance at home after their child began practicing the martial art. We, at Sobhan Karate Academy, teach and practice the art of Shotokan Karate style. It was developed by Grandmaster Gichin Funakoshi in 1928 in Okinawa, Japan. In Japanese, shōtō means “pine waves”, the movement of pine needles when the wind blows through them, and kan means “house” or “hall”. The name was established by Funakoshi’s students who created a sign reading shōtō-kan and placed it above the entrance of the hall where Funakoshi taught.
Sobhan Karate Academy offers a range of courses depending on the type of recruits. Besides the students, we also cater to working professionals to build their body, mind, and lifestyle.
