About Mehar Brar
Train With Purpose. Grow With Confidence
Mehar Brar teaches traditional Karate in Hounslow and West London with a long-standing
commitment to authentic Ryukyu Kobujutsu. Kobujutsu training helps students explore
principles of timing, distance, posture, and body connection that can deepen their Karate.
At Ichigokai, martial arts training helps people become stronger, more focused, and more confident in a
supportive and disciplined environment.
Led by Mehar Brar, Ichigokai draws on over 45 years of Shotokan Karate and more than 20 years of Ryukyu Kobujutsu.

Training follows recognised traditional pathways, including the Ryukyu Kobujutsu Association of Great Britain (RKAGB)
syllabus, and stays connected to senior instructors and respected martial arts organisations. That gives students
something valuable: authentic training, trusted structure, and a clear path to progress.
