this is the place to train at, if you seriously want to study Japanese Karate and become good at self-defense.

Great Dojo for those who want to seriously study Karate and self defense. Don't expect the monthly color and stripe belt promotion here. Very traditional.

Highly recommended Dojo for the serious Shotokan Karateka.

This is the first full-time facility. One can see many National Champions and Internationals training together here.

Great Dojo.

It is not often that you come accross such a fine training environment, facility and teacher. I highly recommend this Dojo to anyone who seriously wants to learn real Karate... of the Japan Karate Association.

I went in there with my girlfriend, and we had a trial class.What a fantastic lesson and environment. We are signing up this week and looking forward to studying under teh Japan Karate Association.

What a pleasure. I trained with Sensei Dhawan, the Instructor, and it took me back to the time I was training at the JKA Honbu (Headqquarters) in Tokyo, Japan.If you live around Chicago... this place is a gem!!!
