Emmerich Studio
Illinois Shotokan Karate Club (ISKC) is Chicagoland’s premier karate school, taught under the instruction of John DiPasquale, a 4-time national champion and president of the American Shotokan Karate Association. ISKC’s karate classes help develop flexibility, strength, and coordination in fun, yet disciplined activities. This program offers a good mix of strength training with cardiovascular and flexibility exercises. Students increase their coordination, agility, and poise as well as learn lasting personal safety skills. They also benefit from the mental stimulation of learning the choreographed moves of the kata and the discipline of conforming to the class rules. Beginner students will not be permitted to register into the current session after the second class has met. Registration for continuing through advanced students will be accepted after the start date, but the full class fee is required. Frontier Park is located at 1933 N. Kennicott Drive in Arlington Heights. Illinois Shotokan Karate Clubis located at N. Eric Drive in Palatine. Please note: Uniforms and belt testing are options available through the instructor. Youth and adult classes may train together. All fees listed are per person. For more information, contact TJ Wilkes at 847.850.2199 or twilkes@bgparks.org.
