Schaumburg Karate & Martial Arts Classes
SCHAUMBURG 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 Schaumburg, Illinois, through the Schaumburg Park District. With over 40 years in the business, our martial arts classes are taught by knowledgeable, experienced instructors with over 15 years of experience, and our program 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 10+ years!
FUN FACTS
Illinois Shotokan has been in business for over 40 years - and we plan on sticking around for a while!
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 or having a monthly payment to worry about!
Karate Classes are held at safe Schaumburg Park District Locations. We value your child's safety, and many of our parents feel much better taking their children to supervised facilities instead of store-front facilities.
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.
We pride ourselves in teaching hard work and goal-setting. Many other programs want to rush your child through the belt ranks quickly because its more profitable for them to charge you $200-$600 per belt test. Our approach is the opposite and we encourage our students to earn each rank and our belt testing is 1/10th of the cost of store fronts.
Each year we bring over one hundred students to compete around the country at the USA Karate Nationals.
This year several of our elite athletes were selected to train at the Olympic Training Training Center in Colorado.
Two of our Junior Female Athletes placed at the Junior Pan American Championships in Brazil.
