This is the best place if you want to get in shape, build your confidence and meet great people. In my opinion the best Karate school in Chicago. If you are in doubt just try one class… you will be sore 😉 but you won’t regret it.

Wonderful place teaching Kyokushin Karate style. Grandmaster running the place is amazing, balancing karate techniques with toughness and conditioning. Great and affordable, one of a kind place for both kids and adults! Planning to train there again when I move back to Chicago.

Fantastic Kyokushin Karate school. Amazing training experience. I am so thankful to have trained with such a welcoming group of karatekas. The guidance and motivation of Shihan and the knowledgeable black belt instructors made class fly by. I absorbed so much and look forward to visiting again, Osu!
