KARATE

Illinois Shotokan Karate Club is Chicagoland’s premier karate school taught under the instruction of John DiPasquale, a four–time National Champion, US National Coach, and President of the US National Karate Association.

ISKC’s Karate classes offer a good mix of strength training with cardiovascular and flexibility exercises. Students increase their coordination, agility and poise, as well as learning lasting personal safety skills.

In our Pre-Karate Safety Classes, young children develop flexibility, strength, and coordination in fun, yet disciplined activities. This program is specifically designed for growing minds and bodies to enhance memory and agility. Watch your child’s confidence blossom and their skills improve.

  • Uniforms and Belt–Testing are options available through the ISKC instructor.
  • Please note that the Youth, Parent/Child, and Adult classes may train together.
  • Beginner students will not be permitted to register for the current session after the second class has met.
  • Registration for continuers through advanced students will be accepted after the start date, but the full class fee is required.
