SERVING north, NorthWest, west, north shore, and southern suburbs FOR OVER 35 YEARS
John DiPasquale, owner and founder of ISKC, began taking karate lessons at a small dojo in Des Plaines with Loren Rodgers at the age of 13. As DiPasquale grew, so did his passion for karate. He realized he wanted karate to be more than just a hobby; he wanted to make into a career.
In 1978, DiPasquale created his own karate dojo, Illinois Shotokan Karate Clubs. Since then, the club has expanded to serve more than 75 park districts throughout the Chicagoland area. Students of all ages and abilities are welcome at ISKC.
ISKC is proud to offer our karate program, one that is a proven leader in its field. You can feel confident that you and/or your child will be getting the best the sport has to offer.
