Welcome

The Challenge Karate Club at Purdue University is an organization dedicated to the physical, emotional, and moral development of its members through rigorous training in traditional Shotokan karate. Shotokan karate is a Japanese "hard" style of martial art that emphasizes very powerful motions and practical applications. You do not need to be fit, limber, or an athletically-oriented person to practice karate-do. People of all ages and backgrounds have been successful in karate-do training (even so-called "couch potatoes"!). No special coordination or natural physical ability is needed for the practice of karate-do. The training is used for the development of the habits of self-discipline, self-analysis, and self-confidence. Practical self-defense is also studied.
