 Pride Dojo was created in 1988 to teach and enhance the philosophies of Shotokan Karate. The Dojo strives to create a challenging, yet nurturing approach to training in the martial arts. The program is inclusive, and does not necessitate any background in the martial arts, nor is it relevant the physical qualities that any individual brings to the program.
Pride Dojo offers classes to students aged four years old and up through the Glencoe Park District. All students enroll as beginners and as they attain physical and mental growth, knowledge and experience they will progress through different belt levels. Students may also choose to join the Pride Dojo competition team through which they will compete at AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) sanctioned tournaments. Competition begins at the state level with the opportunity to qualify for regional, national and international competition. The competition team is independent from the Glencoe Park District.
"The ultimate aim of the art of Karate lies not in victory or defeat,
but in the perfection of the characters of its participants."
- Master Gichin Funakoshi
