Shorei Ryu Karate Studios - Bradley, Illinois

Our son wanted to do something after being basically pushed out of soccer, but has been talking about karate for a couple of years. So in May we put him Shorei Ryu Karate. There he has made friendship and shows more respect for others. With Sensei D. he has learned a lot and shows how he wants to succeed. The place also has awesome higher belts that take the lower belts and give the convenience. They had our son go to a tournament after 6 weeks of training because of drive and determination. He placed because of the teachings of this place. Please give this Sensei a chance and you should see a change in your child. Also this has helped in getting him off video games all day. Thanks

My son attendeds shorei Ryu Karate Studios. He went to karate for self defense, self confidence and much more. It's helping him in so many ways and it's even showing with him at school. If you want your child to learn so much I would attend this karate studio you won't regret it.

One of a parent’s greatest gifts is watching your child realize their potential when they don’t seem to know just how amazing they are. Our daughter (age 6) was given that gift after joining Shorei Ryu Karate Studio. She had self-doubt, and was struggling in school with a lot of – “I can’t do it” and “It’s too hard” feelings. After joining, and learning some Japanese words and Karate techniques, she started to realize things are not as difficult as she initially thought. She realized she can do so many things that she was uncertain of. Once she passed her first belt test she gained so much confidence and pride in her own abilities. It was amazing to see her reaching her full potential. Her temperament has become far less intense, and she really has come out of her shell. She is kind, caring, helpful and proud. I cannot thank Sensei Bossong enough for giving my daughter the gift of confidence she now has. I highly recommend this studio to any parent that feels like their child could use insights into their own potential and self-worth.

We started karate this year, as my six-year-old had been begging to try something new. We really love the sensei and how he instills confidence, respect, and hard-work ethic into all of the students. We know that these life skills will carry him further than we could imagine and are grateful for Shorei Ryu Karate and Sensei Dwight Bossong for the opportunities.

Best Karate school in town. The instructor is super helpful and motivating, the dojo itself is clean, and the equipment is new. Highly, highly recommend.
