Our philosophy
At Universal Sabaki Karate-Do Junketsu Kai, our philosophy is built on the fusion of strength, strategy, spirit, and inner energy. We believe that true karate is not only a physical discipline but a complete path that shapes the body, mind, and spirit into a unified force. Our training encourages students to push beyond limitations, embrace discipline, and develop a warrior mindset grounded in respect, humility, and perseverance. Through dedicated practice, we aim to cultivate individuals who are not only skilled in combat but also balanced in character, focused in thought, and connected to a deeper sense of purpose. Karate, for us, is a lifelong journey of self-discovery, transformation, and continuous growth – a way to strengthen the body, sharpen the mind, and awaken the inner spirit.

Real stories, real results
Don't just take our word for it. Hear from our students about their experiences at Junketsu Kai and the positive impact martial arts has had on their lives. Our testimonials reflect our commitment to excellence and the supportive community we've built.
"Since my son Thimira started training under Soshi Upali Mendis at USKD Junketsu Kai in Basilica Roman Catholic Primary School – Ragama, Sri Lanka, he has grown remarkably in discipline, patience, endurance, and his overall attitude toward learning. He used to be a little weak in his studies, but now he is doing very well. Soshi always encourages him to study hard, and because of that guidance, Thimira is now determined to achieve high marks in mathematics.
As his mother, I truly believe that one day he will reach great heights in karate, just like his role model, Soshi. Thank you very much, Soshi, for giving my son purpose, motivation, and strong determination in his life."
Thimira's Mother
"I am truly thankful for the remarkable change I have seen in my son, Dushen Dewhas, after joining USKD Junketsu Kai Karate under the guidance of Soshi Dr Upali Mendis. Before starting karate, Dushen had little motivation for his studies and often felt shy during presentations at school. Just six months later, the difference is extraordinary. He is progressing impressively in karate, already achieving victories, and at the same time, his academic performance has improved beyond our expectations. His confidence, discipline, and focus have grown stronger every day.
I believe these positive changes are a direct result of the values, structure, and encouragement provided by Soshi Dr Upali Mendis and the USKD Junketsu Kai system. My family and I are sincerely grateful for the powerful and lasting influence Soshi has had on our son’s life."
Dushen's Dad
"I am Amit Jayawardena, principal of Yatiyana Roman Catholic Junior College in Minuwangoda. I first met Master Upali Mendis four years ago at Minu/Reggie Ranatunga Primary School, where he coached my son Samadhi Jayawardana. Shortly after, he introduced karate to the students of our school, bringing discipline, focus, and a positive spirit to every class.
Under his guidance, our children not only developed confidence, perseverance, and strong character but also achieved impressive success in competitions. Soshi Upali Mendis is an outstanding teacher who delivers knowledge systematically while inspiring students to excel both in sports and in their personal growth.
I sincerely wish him continued success in all the activities of his new Karate Association and am confident that he will positively impact the lives of many more children."
