Here you can find information on Traditional Shotokan karate
classes in Chicago for adults and children. What's in our name -
"Chicago Kitoh Shotokan - Sugiyama Ryu Karate Do" (formerly Peterson
Park Karate)? Well, "Kitoh" means to throw ki or our internal
energy, while "Shotokan" is the specific style of karate. The
"Kitoh" part of our name comes from our unique methodology of
instruction based upon the principals that we have practiced under
the most innovative karate instructor of our time, Sensei Shojiro
Sugiyama.
