About Our Director
I am a professional martial arts trainer with 25 years of experience in both studying and teaching. I offer classes for children and adults, as well as personal training sessions. I continuously seek to improve my skills through international training camps and workshops, and I compete at both national and international levels. Throughout my career, I have achieved a 5th Dan Black Belt from JKA Japan and a 4th Dan Black Belt in Shaolin Kung Fu. Additionally, I am a certified Kickboxer and have trained in Muay Thai in Thailand. I was honored to receive the Employee of the Year award at The British Club in Abu Dhabi in 2008. My competitive achievements include being a Bronze Medalist at the World Karate Championship in Australia in 2010, winning the UAE Karate Championship in Dubai in 2011, and earning a 4th Prize at the World Karate Championship in Turkey in 2013. In 2014, I participated in Muay Thai training in Thailand and attended the Japanese Karate Association’s International Black Belt Training Camp. I also earned a Silver Medal at the UAE Open Karate Championship in Dubai that same year. My experiences include attending the Ultimate Karate Fighters Boot Camp at the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK, and participating in the Swiss Karate Do Symposium International Karate Camp in Switzerland in 2016, where I secured 1st Prize at the UAE Open Karate Championship. I am dedicated to sharing my passion for martial arts and helping my students achieve their personal goals.

OUR CLIENT'S TESTIMONIAL
Emirates Karate club kickboxing sessions along with supportive coaches helped me feel better not only physically but mentally as well. Each class is like a therapy session in a bag helping me achieve my goals of increasing my strength and losing weight!

I am Mohammad Iqbal Qayoom aged 45 years working as a banker. As many fathers, I too was busy with work and responsibilities. My wife and daughters have been practicing Karate. While watching them in class, my memories took me back to my childhood days, where I used to love watching action movies and wanted to kick like the actors. I realized that there is no age limitation to learn Karate and that’s how I am enjoying learning Karate. I have become mentally and physically stronger and have made good friends in the adults class. This one hour training heals me and brings a balance in my day. When you train hard, the other challenges in life becomes easier to face.

Both our sons are students of this Karate Centre and I must say it is among the best in terms of quality and value for money. Operated under the able leadership and guidance of Sensei Shan Ismail, the Centre has truly wonderful instructors (previously Sensei Nisen and now Sensei Mahesh) who are truly dedicated and ensure that the kids stay focused and engaged by making learning fun. EKC also hosts an annual competition which is by far one of the best organized events in UAE. I can confidently attest to the quality of the teaching and the skills acquired by our kids based on the number of medals and cups they've won in inter-club competitions, apart from those organized by EKC. In summary, I highly recommend this club, you won't be disappointed
