About Us
Kata Chicago Judo Club
Kata Chicago Judo Club was founded by Sensei Kasia.
Kasia loved martial arts and for many years worked with youth in Poland. After migrating to the USA in 2013, this love led her to opening her Chicago dojo in 2016. With the help of Shihan Lesław Samitowski and Jaga Samitowska from Kanku Karate Kyokushin Club located at Belmont/Austin – she started her Judo Club sharing space in their Dojo. After 7 years everything is going very well for both Clubs. Kata Chicago Judo Club interacts with all USA Judo Clubs in the area and throughout the USA. Every year, with big successes and many medals, they compete in various Judo Tournaments nation wide.
Our Philosophy
At Kata Chicago Judo Club, students have the ability to learn and practice judo techniques which help them develop basic and fundamental physical fitness, and self-defense methods through the development of strength, flexibility, speed, explosive power, and endurance. At the dojo, students also learn many important social skills, including the acceptance of others, support of our peers, the value of competition, and the importance of teamwork. Through this fair and positive sportsmanship, kids develop the ability to form life-lasting friendships and bonds. They create something special and become ONE BIG JUDO FAMILY.

Judo
This Japanese martial art was founded in 1882 by Jigorō Kanō. It is also an Olympic sport. Holds and leverage are used to bring the opponent to yield. Techniques generally intend to turn an opponent’s force to one’s own advantage rather than to oppose the force directly. The word “judo” can be broken down into two parts: “ju” meaning “gentle,” and “do meaning “way,” which together means, “gentle way.” This judo definition represents one of the martial art’s major concepts, that gentleness controls hardness. Kata Chicago Judo Club is a traditional dojo, practicing the high moral principles of the sport.
