TKO Nisei Dojo

"LInda Donner is an incredible personal trainer. She tailors workouts specifically to each person including helping supplement and work around physical therapy. She varies each workout and ensures a total body workout. From weights, to balance, core, cardio and stretching, all is balanced in a very thoughtful and tailored process. I would highly recommend LInda Donner for your personal training."

"This woman owned business, run, and instructed by Sensei Linda Donner , is a Northwest suburban gem! Offering everything from expert and personalized fitness instruction, to Karate for kids of all ages, and adults, to birthday parties, and other celebratory events, the Nisei Dojo is Lake Zurich’s best kept secret! I started karate with Sensei Donner two years ago, and have since added Tai Chi, cardio fitness, strength, training, Kobudo weapons class, and more to my repertoire there. Not only have I lost weight, but the inches have melted away! I and my kids, now, 18 and 21, have benefited both mentally and physically with Sensei Donner‘s dedication to health and fitness as her priority. Her amazing and positive attitude, and can do-ism, is an inspiration. Few people know that she is a Shotokan Karate 6th Degree Black Belt, and a multiple times World Champion in both kata and kumite. But her humble and kind Personna prevent her from posting about her many accomplishments. I would encourage adults and kids alike to go and experience a class at Nisei Dojo in Lake Zurich!!"

"Great experience with the instructor, Linda Donner, on her fitness workout program. She puts the students thru a fast paced cardio workout that's guaranteed to get your heart rate up. It doesn't matter what your skill level is, her workouts are set up to give you a full body workout. You don't have to worry about getting bored with the classes either, as she tends to change up the workouts to give you a better and more challenging experience. There's never a need to worry about whether or not you know karate, her work outs will take you thru the basics and get you and your body motivated throughout the entire session."

"Sensei Donner genuinely enjoys teaching Shotokan Karate and many other martiall arts to students of all ages. Her enthusiasm and great respect for the sport is motivating and infectious. She teaches, demonstrates and participates in all that she offers. She is a true champion of the Karate sport and wants only to share her joy and excitement with others who wish to become Life champions also! She is a Personal Fitness Coach, a World Karate Champion, an amazingly patient instructor and strong in character as well as in body. Anyone should be honored to know and learn from Sensei Linda Donner."

"Love this martial arts Karate dojo program. If your looking for a Family feel activity environment this is the place to go. The instructor & owner of the dojo Sensei Linda Donner is the best Karate Sensei I have met to date. Not only is she professional & respectful in every aspect, but she is also a wonderful person & treats everyone like they are family to her. My 3 boys have been taking Karate with her since my eldest son is 5 years old & he is turning 12 years old soon & they have been competing in Karate Nationally & Internationally as well. I myself am taking Karate with my boys to spend quality time with them as something the whole family can do together. At first that was my intention but I actually started loving Karate and joined the competition team as well so I also compete Nationally & Internationally with my boys which is lots of fun. I also started participating in the Tai Chi, Fitness and Self Defense classes to help with my self improvement. I love all the programs this Karate Martial Arts Dojo provides. If you’re looking for a well balanced experience during a workout I highly recommend trying out any one of the many programs at this Karate club."
