As both Co-Founders and Chief Instructors for decades in our region, Sensei Rick Brewer and Carl Hartter have the great pleasure of inviting you to the 50th Anniversary Clinic and Dan Exam of the Central States Shotokan! 

Our progress, from our humble beginnings in Normal Illinois in 1967 to now, can only be expressed as a great success!  

Our very own “world class” instructors and hundreds of our exemplary students are scattered from Florida to Alaska and everywhere in between. Our organizational history includes past affiliations with the JKA, AJKA, ASKA, the International Karate Society and the like.
 
 We have been influenced and instructed by many world-renowned iconic instructors, including Randall G. Hassell, Osamu Ozawa, StanSchmidt, H.Kanazawa, Hidetaka Nishiyama and Shojiro Sugiyama, to name a few!
 
The last 50 years have been quite a journey!  Please join us on 4/29 and help us celebrate!

I must leave you with this with this towering phrase: “The ultimate aim of Karate-Do lies neither in victory nor in defeat but in the perfection of the character of its’ participants.” 

                                                 Funakoshi, Gichin – Founder, Shotokan Karate

Osu!
