PALATINE KARATE & MARTIAL ARTS CLASSES
Welcome - We are so glad you're here!
WHO ARE WE? Founded in 1978, Illinois Shotokan Karate Club offers Shotokan Karate Classes in Palatine, Illinois, through safe park district locations. With over 30 years in the business, our martial arts classes are taught by knowledgeable, experienced instructors, and offers opportunities to compete and give back through volunteer work. We believe in developing well-round, good citizens through our program and many of our students stay with our club for many years!
WHAT MAKES ISKC DIFFERENT?
Illinois Shotokan has been in business for over 40 years - and we plan on sticking around for a long time!
No Contracts - unlike many storefront locations, we do not require a contract. This is ideal because you can try out karate and see how you like it for a session before committing long-term.
Karate Classes are held at safe Palatine Park District Locations which means more affordable pricing for you & supervised locations.
Many of our students find that karate on their college applications was a huge help in their acceptance!
We teach Shotokan karate, one of the oldest and most traditional styles of karate from Japan. It focuses on self-discipline, focus and improving concentration while working on your fitness.
WANT TO COMPETE?
In addition to your weekly karate classes, we offer four local tournaments a year to test your skills and see how you stack up to others in your age and same rank level. It’s a really fun and give students a chance to perform under pressure and show off their hard work in class.
As you progress in rank, ISKC has an elite travel team for those who qualify. Each year we bring over one hundred students to compete around the country at the USA Karate Nationals and always take home the most medals!
This year several of our elite athletes were selected to train at the Olympic Training Training Center in Colorado and have secured a place on the Junior and Senior USA Karate Team.
