Explore →About KIME
Seigo-Kai Karate-Do was founded in 1969. For over five decades it has carried authentic Japanese Karate-Do across Asia. In 1994, Shihan Tarun Chakrabarty established the Delhi Academy of Martial Arts, beginning three decades of grassroots coaching that would produce 200+ black belts, 25+ international medalists, and the only Indian karateka ever to represent India at the Tokyo Olympics.
The federation is established. This is the heritage KIME carries into every program.
Shihan Tarun Chakrabarty opens his own dojo and becomes North India Head, Seigo-Kai.
Head of Seigo-Kai Asia, overseeing national heritage and technical standards.
Style Head, KIO · Chief Advisor, JECI · Vice President, Karate Association of Delhi.
Programs
Every KIME program is a live branch of the Seigo-Kai federation. Same instructors, same grading calendar, same pathway to the national and Asian ladder. What changes is the doorstep it arrives at.
For RWAs & Managing Committees
Your society gets a dojo registered in its own name, not a rented slot in someone else's brand. Residents grade, compete and win as a recognised unit inside the federation, and every medal carries your society's colours. Two classes a week, batches from five-year-olds to seniors, and a clubhouse trophy cabinet that fills itself one grading cycle at a time.
Bring KIME to your society →For Principals & School Boards
The lineage behind KIME ran karate at Amity International School for over twenty-five years, from a single campus to branches nationwide. That experience, from timetable-friendly sessions to age-banded curricula and annual gradings parents attend with pride, is what your institution inherits on day one. Character education that shows up in classrooms, not just on mats.
Discuss a school program →For HR & CSR Leaders
Focus under pressure is a trainable skill, and Karate-Do has refined the training for a century. KIME corporate batches build composure, fitness and decisive thinking inside the workday. CSR-linked women's safety workshops let your organisation put its name on something residents of your city actually feel.
Explore a corporate engagement →A Module of Its Own
Taught separately from the sport curriculum, because the street is not a scoring mat. Scenario-based awareness, de-escalation, and practical escape and counter technique. All of it grounded in genuine Karate-Do fundamentals and coached by instructors trained in self-defence pedagogy.
Ask about self-defence training →For Women & Girls
Safety in commutes, public spaces and daily life remains one of the most pressing concerns for Indian households. A one-off external workshop does not answer it. KIME runs dedicated sessions for women and girls, woven into the regular training calendar, close to home, on a schedule you can rely on. Practical readiness, and the calm that comes with it.
Arrange a women's safety program →Ages Five and Up
First stances, first belts, first time standing a little taller. Children's batches build focus, courtesy and quiet confidence, and every session opens and closes with the meditation and mobility work classical Karate-Do is built on. Parents report the difference at homework time before they see it at grading time.
Enrol a young champion →For Serious Athletes
For students chasing podiums, the pathway is already paved: society dojo to state, state to national, national to the Asian and World Karate Federation ladder. One system, no separate route to hunt for. Coaching comes from champions and A-grade officials who judge the sport at Asia's highest level, with dedicated preparation before every grading and tournament cycle.
Train to compete →Behind KIME
KIME students train inside a federation with real, current standing in Indian and Asian karate. Every leadership role below is active today.

Leadership
A former Seigo-Kai athlete and champion who grew up inside the federation he now represents. KIME began with a simple question: why should championship-grade Karate-Do stay inside competition arenas when it can build champions, character and community at every doorstep in India?
Trained and graded to 2nd Dan Black Belt inside the federation's own system.
