The start of the JKA's Instruction began in the Dadar Dojo, when Sasaki Shoichi Sensei was appointed the Chief Instructor for India by Nakayama Sensei. The year was 1978 and the culmination of the efforts of the current Head Instructor of the Dadar Dojo, who had in 1976 written to the JKA and received a reply asking for more details on the dojo.

Today 30 years years later, the Dadar Dojo celebrates the completion of 30 years of the establishment of the JKA in India. Over the years the Dojo has been the training center where many of the JKA Headquarters Instructors have come and imparted training. Amongst them are Sasaki Yoshitaka Sensei, Mori Minoru Sensei, Sakata Sensei, Shina Sensei, Imamura Sensei, Imura Sensei, Ohmura Sensei among others.

It has also been the Hombu Dojo for many of India's National Champions and has also produced the only two karate contestants to have received the State Government's most Prestigious Sports Award called the Chattrapathi Shivaji Puraskar.

The Dadar Dojo having been one of the Pioneer Institutes teaching Shotokan Karate in the city of Mumbai honoured it's Chief Instructor, Sasaki Shoichi Sensei in 2002, with a Certificate of Appreciation issued by the Mayor Of Mumbai City

INSTRUCTORS OF THE INSTITUTE

We quote our Supreme Master Gichin Funakoshi upon knowing about the importance of the correct Instruction. "Powerful drugs are dangerous, Poison is frightening, However there is no one in the medical world today who advocates shunning drugs. The danger of powerful drugs and poisons depends on the usage and when applied correctly they can be of great benefit. Karate-do improperly used is certainly dangerous and vicious, but for the same reason that it is dangerous, Karate-do if properly applied can yield results of great value. At the time a patient receives a prescription for a powerful drug he is made to understand its nature and is taught its proper usage. In the same way those who learn karate-do must be made to understand it at the outset and be intructed in its proper use".
