ABOUT US

The Shuri Karate Dojo™ (originally Kazoku Karate Dojo) was first established in the United Kingdom in 1986 by Adam Carter Kyoshi 7th dan, to teach children and adults the martial arts discipline of karate. We have now relocated to the Chicago area, Illinois, USA. There are classes each week for all levels and abilities.

Karate in Okinawa prior to the 1900's was taught as a way of protecting oneself from civilian attacks and wasn't governed by style as it is today.

The main difference in the way we practice and teach our karate, is the underlying philosophy that all our studies are based around pre-second World War karate, where the use and creation of techniques and principles were used in actual self-protection, rather than used in any sporting context.

Our mission at the Shuri Karate Dojo is to promote and preserve the true essence of the art of karate and to preserve its Okinawan cultural heritage.

We are always willing to listen to suggestions and are looking forward to meeting you. Come and join us. Your martial arts journey starts HERE.
