Kolkata, West Bengal —
The All India Seishinkai Shito-Ryu Karate Do Federation’s Black Belt Gradation Ceremony, held at the prestigious Royal Bengal, marked a historic milestone in the evolution of Indian martial arts. The event emerged not merely as a ceremony, but as a declaration of a new national movement — one driven by the visionary leadership of Hanshi Premjit Sen, whose life’s mission is shaping the future of India’s youth through discipline, purpose, and character.

With over 500 participants from across the region, the ceremony showcased the extraordinary reach and influence of the Seishinkai system, now widely recognized as one of the most transformative martial arts movements in the country.

National & International Recognition of Leadership

Mrs. Krishna Chakraborty, Hon’ble Mayor of Bidhanagar Municipality, applauded Hanshi Premjit Sen’s immense social contribution, calling his work a cornerstone of women empowerment. She highlighted how Seishinkai has enabled thousands of young girls to emerge as confident, self-reliant leaders, generating lasting impact within families and communities.

Mr. Qin Yong, Deputy Consul General of the People’s Republic of China, Kolkata, praised the global standard of Hanshi Premjit Sen’s training methodology. He acknowledged its rare ability to produce elite athletes while preserving the highest values of discipline, culture, and respect — turning Indian karateka into ambassadors of excellence on the international stage.

Mr. Swapan Banerjee, Eminent Social Worker and Chairman, AITC Sports Wing, emphasized that Seishinkai today represents more than sport. He noted its vital role in creating employment opportunities, professional careers, and leadership platforms for the nation’s youth.

A Vision Beyond the Dojo

Addressing the gathering, Hanshi Premjit Sen reaffirmed that Seishinkai’s purpose extends far beyond competition.

“Our mission is to empower women, guide the youth, create sustainable livelihoods, and build strong human beings committed to serving society with integrity, courage, and responsibility.”

His words were met with resounding applause, echoing the belief that karate is not only a sport — it is a system for nation-building.

Moments That Redefined Inspiration

The ceremony witnessed deeply moving moments, including the participation of a 60-year-old karateka and a mother and son appearing together for their gradation — powerful reminders that karate recognizes no boundaries of age, gender, or background.

As the event concluded, participants stood united in their commitment to carry forward the Seishinkai spirit — not only as athletes, but as disciplined leaders, responsible citizens, and architects of a stronger, more confident India.
