He has been training in martial arts since the age 14 under the Budokai Karate School and achieved Black Belt, the first in the state of Karnataka. After this initial training, to further hone his skills he trained under the great pioneer of Karate Late Dr. R.V.T Mani and other illustrious teachers of martial arts both national and international. He seems to embody the martial art principle that learning is an everyday process and cannot be taken for granted.

Praveen Ranka more importantly has been working for the emancipation of Karate-Do by increasing the visibility of the sport through his programmes of introducing the martial arts-Karate-Do into the curriculum of schools in Bangalore, also inviting international experts for demonstrations and as acting faculty and also by organizing numerous state, national and international championships and tournaments.

He has been working hard towards spreading the message that martial arts are not only about improving of physical skills ands techniques but also that it addresses areas of self control, meditation and concentration. These tools could enable a person to learn about his/her inner self, thus his teaching is that Karate-Do eventually becomes a way of life.
