Shotokan International Karate Do Federation Hq

We are located inside the Vidya Mandir School on Chandarsar Road. It’s a busy spot in Virar East and gets pretty loud during training hours. The mats we use have seen better days but they still work for the kids. Most of the instructors here grew up in the area or nearby in Palghar. We spend a lot of time just sweeping the floor before the evening sessions start because the dust from the road outside always finds its way in. It’s not a fancy place with air conditioning or anything like that. We just have some big fans that move the hot air around. Sometimes the power goes out and we just keep going by the windows. You’ll hear a lot of shouting and feet hitting the ground from about 5 PM onwards. The school hallway is where parents wait, usually scrolling on their phones or chatting about the local traffic. We don't have a big office, just a small desk in the corner with a lot of old papers and a few trophies that need dusting. Most people find us just by walking past on their way home from the station. We’ve been at this school for quite a while now. The kids come in after their regular classes, still in their uniforms sometimes, looking tired but ready to move. It’s just how things go here in Virar. We don't have much room for storage, so the gear is piled up in the back corner.
