Kancho came to  India many time India and he also played a roll of spy in Hindi Movie in1987 named Aakhiri Badla of his disciple Mithun Chakroborthi. 

 

    When sukhdev Singh went to learn karate in 1979 at Pandara Road, community Hall, Near India Gate, New Delhi, he was totally fresh about karate. After Admission in Club, Sensei Rajesh Ahuja took their batch of 150 students. Rajesh Ahuja (now General Secretary for Japan Karate Association of India and North India chief,  former Joint Secretary for All India Karate do Federation), told us that if you want to learn karate, you should be determine and prepare from your mind and body that you will be go out from here as Black Belt. Otherwise you can take back your fees. At that moment sukhdev Singh decided that I will be Black belt in Karate.


    This moment comes true when Kancho Herokazu Kanazawa came in 1987 in Delhi and sukhdev Singh went for exam and got Black belt. Sukhdev Singh was the First person in North India (left Delhi) who got Black Belt direct from Japan in Karate. It was also a Historical moment in Sikh religion because he was the first person in karate as Sikh in India who got Black Belt from Japan. 

When he got black belt from Kancho, he shifted to Punjab from Delhi (his birth place) after the Anti-Sikhs riots. He was also affected from riots in Delhi. He was disturbed from his university education and other financial matters. But he never gave up karate. In 1996 he participated in All India Karate-Do Federation's National Championship from Punjab. There he was awarded Shodan from AIKF.
