In a nation where sports often struggle for recognition beyond cricket, one man’s unwavering dedication has brought martial arts—particularly Karate—to the forefront in West Bengal and beyond. Hanshi Premjit Sen, an internationally acclaimed Karate master and the President of the Karate Do Association of Bengal (KAB), has spent over two decades relentlessly working to promote Karate not only as a sport but as a powerful tool for discipline, self-confidence, and women empowerment.
Under his dynamic leadership, Karate in Bengal has evolved from a fringe activity to a mainstream sporting discipline, with countless athletes from the state making their mark at the national and international level. Hanshi Sen’s vision has always been clear: to instill values of respect, resilience, and responsibility among the youth, using Karate as a medium for holistic development.
What sets him apart is his deep commitment to inclusivity—especially when it comes to the empowerment of women through martial arts.
At a time when personal safety and gender equality are critical issues, Hanshi Premjit Sen has championed the cause of empowering girls and women through Karate. His initiatives have ensured that thousands of women across Bengal—from schoolgirls to working professionals—receive self-defense training and martial arts education.
Many of his female students have gone on to become National and International Champions, serving as inspirations in their communities and breaking stereotypes around women in combat sports.
Hanshi Sen holds multiple black belts and international accolades, but his biggest achievements lie in the success of his students. His tireless coaching has produced numerous National Champions, and his name has become synonymous with excellence, integrity, and passion in Indian Karate circles.
He is also a senior official in prestigious Karate bodies, including the All India Seishinkai Shito-Ryu Karate-Do Federation, and continues to represent India in global martial arts platforms.
Speaking on his journey, Hanshi Sen said,
“Karate is not just about fighting—it’s about facing life with courage and dignity. My mission has always been to use this art to uplift others, especially women, so they can walk with confidence and strength in every field of life.”
As Karate prepares to take greater strides in national and Olympic-level platforms, the role of pioneers like Hanshi Premjit Sen becomes even more crucial. His dedication to promoting gender equality, youth development, and martial arts excellence continues to inspire countless students and fellow instructors across the country.
