Our History

Where tradition meets excellence

For decades, Tenshinkan Karate Pakistan has been dedicated to promoting the timeless values of respect, discipline, focus, and integrity, while building a supportive community for practitioners of all ages. Rooted in the teachings of Kancho Mamoru Miwa, World Chief Instructor and 10th Dan, Tenshinkan Karate is a comprehensive martial art that blends traditional techniques with modern principles. In Pakistan, our mission is to uphold this legacy by providing students with a safe and nurturing environment where they can grow not only as martial artists but also as individuals. Tenshinkan Karate goes beyond kicks and punches — it is a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and resilience. Through dedicated training, students develop confidence, learn emotional control, and gain the strength to face life’s challenges with perseverance. Inspired by Kancho Miwa’s vision and lifelong commitment to preserving and evolving the art of Karate, Tenshinkan Pakistan continues to carry forward this tradition with pride and purpose.

Sensei Abdul Rafique

Chief Instructor Tenshinkan Pakistan

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. For Sensei Abdul Rafique, that journey began in 1992. With a heart full of passion for martial arts, he traveled to Japan, the cradle of Karate, to learn from the masters. It was there he was introduced to the profound art of Tenshinkan Karate, a path that would define his life's work.

After years of rigorous training and dedicating his life to the art, Sensei Rafique returned to Pakistan with a mission: to share the spirit and discipline of Tenshinkan. He established the first authorized Tenshinkan Karate Federation dojo in Pakistan, a beacon for all who wished to walk the path of Budo.

Over the decades, he has trained thousands of students, instilling in them the core values of respect, discipline, and perseverance. His teachings go beyond physical technique; they shape character, build indomitable spirit, and create leaders. Today, he continues to guide new generations, a true master dedicated to his students and the art he loves.
