Traditional karate for children in Bandar Sri Permaisuri. We help kids grow in focus, confidence and respect, one class at a time.

Gladiator is a close-knit dojo where students build real skill, and families build friendships along the way.
Our training follows the Hayashi-Ha tradition, passed down under Grandmaster Hanshi Dato' Dr. T. Ponnaiah.
Our athletes compete at state and national championships, including SUKMA and MAKAF events.
Respect, focus and self-control come before belts. These lessons carry over to school and home.
We know every student by name, and families take part in tournaments, outings and celebrations together.

Hayashi-Ha Shito-Ryu was founded by the Japanese master Teruo Hayashi. It combines strong traditional kata with practical, fast kumite (sparring).
Gladiator Martial Art Academy trains under the lineage of Grandmaster Hanshi Dato' Dr. T. Ponnaiah. Every student learns technique and etiquette as they have been taught for generations.
Karate begins and ends with respect.
Your child trains with two 3rd Dan black belt instructors who know every student by name.

Sensei Visvesvar is a 3rd Dan black belt who has spent over a decade teaching karate to children. He founded Gladiator to give families in Cheras a dojo that is both demanding and caring.
He has guided young students from their very first bow to the national stage. For him, good technique matters, but building confident, respectful kids matters more.

Sensei Shan is a 3rd Dan black belt who brings energy, precision and patience to every class. Her kicks are sharp and her coaching is warm, and young students love training with her.
She gives every child close attention, especially beginners finding their feet. She makes sure they feel welcome, encouraged and proud of their progress.
Every child follows the same traditional syllabus, taught at the right pace for their age. Children can start from age 4.
Fun, structured classes that build coordination, focus and confidence, and help kids listen and follow through.
Deeper kata and kumite training for older children. Students learn to set goals, lead by example and push their limits.
For committed students who are ready to represent Gladiator at state and national championships.
