about

Kyoshi V. A. M. Jaleel

Assistant Chief Instructor, UAE (7th Dan Karate | 6th Dan Kobudo | 3rd Dan Aikido)

Kyoshi (7th Dan) V. A. M. Jaleel joined Karate with his brothers. For this strong, energetic and aggressive youngster fitting into the Karate mould was not very difficult. In spite of the training being gruelling beyond imagination – a real challenge physically and mentally – this young man never learned to quit.

 

Overcoming every challenge life had to offer, he tasted success through Karate, and was brought to the UAE by his brother, Kyoshi (7th Dan) Iqbal. Over the years, his dedication to his training and his students has been consistently incremental.

 

Along with his brothers, Kyoshi Jaleel spends at least a few days a year updating his skill-set and perfecting his form under the supervision of higher-ranking Senseis. Apart from the UAE, he has also trained in:

 

•    India (his home)

•    Malaysia

•    Germany

•    USA

•    Okinawa, Japan

 

A known Seibukan figure around the world, Sensei Jaleel’s warm demeanour, sense of humour and hard training is what makes his students love him as a person and respect him as their Sensei.

 

Ranked 7th Dan in Karate, 6th Dan in Kobudo and 3rd Dan in Aikido, Sensei Jaleel is Assistant Chief Instructor of each style for the UAE.
