60+ Dojos. 15 Instructors. One Karate Family.

Thank you! We’ll be in touch.

Did you know, ISKC is different from the rest?

We’ve been teaching karate in the Chicagoland area since 1979 — and while a lot of martial arts schools come and go, we’ve stuck around by keeping things simple, affordable, and focused on what really matters: great instruction in a safe, welcoming environment.

Here’s what makes us different:

• Low Prices, No Contracts
  We don’t believe in locking people into long-term commitments. Our pricing is straightforward and affordable — no surprises, no pressure. Sign up for a session to see how you like it and go from there!

• Safe, Local Park District Locations
  All our classes take place in trusted park district facilities, so you know exactly where you're going and can take classes close to home.

• A Whole Team of Instructors
  With over 15 experienced instructors, your child (or you!) will learn from a variety of teaching styles and perspectives — way more than what you’ll find at a typical one-person storefront dojo.

• Over 40 Years of Experience
  We’ve been doing this a long time — since 1979 — and we’re proud of the community we’ve built. Our program continues to grow because we care about our students, giving back and developing future leaders in the community.
