The Club
 
The University of Chicago Shotokan Karate club was founded in 1964 by Sugiyama Sensei, and is affiliated with JKA Chicago.

Our club is open to the University community. We teach the traditional study of Karate, and we represent the JKA (Japan Karate Association). Our Sensei, Gregory Winston, is also instructor at the renowned Shojiro Sugiyama Dojo in Lakeview, just north of downtown Chicago. Our club is affiliated with that dojo and our club members may also attend any training classes held there. See the FAQ page for more info.
