Ashihara Karate is an International Organisation with branch schools in 30 countries. Started by Hoosain Narker in September of 1980, it provides a Karate that considered to be one of the most practical systems today. It is a system based on Sabaki........ - the combination of defence and offence into one!

According to Narker, the main concept behind Ashihara Karate is "Karate without Tears." Narker takes great pains to point out that his karate does not believe in combatting force with force. Instead it believes in capitalising on the opponents strength. "The aim is to punch without being punched", said Narker smashing his fist against an imaginary opponent after side-stepping the blow. "Never meet an opponent head-on. Always move around him and attack from the side or back where he is the most vulnerable. This way you will avoid injury to yourself."
