Shijo T Narayanan

Founder & President

Shijo Narayanan is the visionary founder and living embodiment of the principles taught at the Martial Arts Academy. His lifelong devotion to the martial path began in 1979, marking the start of an extraordinary journey rooted deeply in traditional Kung Fu. Shijo Narayanan did not simply practice the art; he mastered it, an achievement proven by his competitive success over the decades, which included winning numerous major tournaments. This formidable competitive background underscores his technical skill, yet his true mission transcends trophies. He is the steadfast guardian of a pure, uncompromised lineage, driven by the belief that the ancient style must be taught with absolute authenticity and unwavering respect for its original form.

The founding of the academy is the culmination of Shijo Narayanan's commitment to preserve the traditional style of Kung Fu for future generations. In an era where many martial arts schools modernize to the point of dilution, his academy stands as a sanctuary dedicated to the rigorous, time-honored methods of training. Shijo Narayanan’s philosophy emphasizes that technical excellence is inseparable from character development, instilling in students the core values of discipline, humility, and perseverance.

Under his direct mentorship, students learn that their power must be governed by responsibility. His legacy is found not only in the powerful techniques taught in the academy, but in the upright and honorable lives cultivated by every practitioner who carries his lineage forward.
