Our Story
Founded in 1992, Tohkon Dojo is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of its members through a structured judo program. Located in Chicago, Illinois, Tohkon aims to develop not only physical skills but also essential life qualities such as self-discipline, self-esteem, and a sense of priority. The dojo has grown significantly since its inception, moving to the Japanese American Service Committee in 1995, which has allowed for a robust partnership that continues to thrive today. This collaboration has enabled Tohkon to expand its judo offerings and engage with the community through support programs and martial arts demonstrations.
