What is Mohiniyattam?
Mohiniyattam is one of the major classical dance forms of India and is deeply rooted in Kerala’s cultural heritage. The name “Mohiniyattam” is derived from “Mohini,” a mythical enchantress from Indian mythology, symbolizing beauty, grace, and charm.
The dance is characterized by:
- Soft and flowing movements
- Expressive facial gestures
- Rhythmic footwork
- Storytelling through dance
- Graceful body posture
- Emotional expression
Unlike highly energetic dance forms, Mohiniyattam focuses on elegance, fluidity, and subtle expressions that captivate audiences through refined performance techniques.
At Okinawa Karate Club, students learn authentic Mohiniyattam techniques while developing a deeper understanding of the cultural traditions behind this remarkable art form.

空手道 Karate
Martial arts in Okinawa descended from mainland China and developed and grew in Okinawa for the age-old reason of self-defense. The Karate we practice today comes from the art of “te” meaning hand, and is said to have originated over 1000 years ago around the Shuri Village in Okinawa.
国際琉球古武道協会 Kokusai Ryukyu Kobudo Hozon Kyokai (International Ryukyu Kobudo Hozon Association)
“In the old days, farmers did not have sophisticated weapons to fight with, so they learned to protect themselves and their families from outside enemies with agricultural implements and everyday tools. That developed into Ryukyu kobudo, and as a result of these humble beginnings this martial arts form does not go against the traditional Okinawan spirit of ‘shurei’ [showing good manners towards others]. Stated simply, kobudo is a form of karate using items of daily use from the Ryukyu Kingdom. Kobudo has a long history, and some of its elements are said to have traveled all the way from India and China.“
