The UIC Karate club practices and teaches traditional Shotokan Karate under the auspices of the Japan Karate Association, Tokyo, Japan. We welcome other styles to come and train with us as well. We hold several events every years, including a camp and seminars with world class martial artists. Training consists of Kata (forms), Kihon (basics), Kumite (fighting), and emphasizes character development and fitness. Beginning students are gradually introduced through all three components as they progress in rank. Membership is open to UIC students, faculty, staff, and alumni. It's free to try for the first week!
