Rockford Karate Club

"I've been going to Sensi Allen's dojo since I was a little boy and I couldn't ask for a better teacher. There is no one who is as patient and better at explaining techniques than Mr. Allen. I go to other martial arts schools, and while the teachers are good, none of them are on the level of Mr. Allen."

"Best dojo in Rockford. Experienced compationate teachers. Exceptional school for children. Sensei John Allen ( 8th Dan) has been teaching for over 40 years and is magic. He has the gift of teaching and passing on the way of the tiger yet with compassion ,while respecting others. Can't say enough about him!"

"I have many years of experience in Shotokan.This is the real deal my children are both black belts there. We are a non profit, unlike these other dojo’s here they charge you an arm and a leg Nickel and dime you to death.They have been here for 56 years now that speaks for itself. Sensei Allen is the best and what most people don’t know these others local dojo’s here were former disgruntled students.56 years and for a reason I would never recommend anyone else.When the Rockford karate club leaves Rockford if it does Rockford will be in trouble"

"I love because is a good sport our body and safety"

"Well i was wondering if you guys were still open and if you are i will be more then welcome to join you. You see i used to take classes with my best friend's uncle but i moved far away and now i don't take classes anymore. I'm a little familiar with the moves but i haven't been in a martial arts class in a long period of time so i might forget. But other wise i will be more then happy if your were able to get me a spot on the teen. PS. A little info about my self. I'm 14 years old i'm African american and i'm a very big fan of martial arts. THANK YOU!!!!!."
