Specialties
A community-based dojo, we value good character and community relations as much as, if not more than, technical ability. Like other modern Japanese martial ways (budo) such as kendo, judo, and aikido, the purpose of karatedo lies not in the victory over one’s opponent, but the disciplining of one’s body and the forging of one’s spirit through rigorous training.
History
Established in 2012.
We are the first Chicago-area dojo affiliated with the World Matsubayashi-ryu Karatedo Association (世界松林流空手道連盟) based in Urasoe City, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, under the direction of Mr. Yoshitaka Taira. Our lineage traces back to the roots of Okinawan karate as catalogued by Shoshin Nagamine (1907 – 1997).
We practice out of the gymnasium at Ravenswood Fellowship United Methodist Church on Chicago’s North Side.
