Shobu Karatedo, established in 2012, is a community-based dojo located on Chicago's North Side that specializes in traditional Okinawan Shorin-ryu karatedo. Drawing from the Matsubayashi sect, the dojo emphasizes a steadfast approach to martial arts training while honoring its lineage that traces back to the origins of Okinawan karate through Shoshin Nagamine.

In addition to formal waza techniques, kata forms, and yakusoku kumite, Shobu Karatedo incorporates free form principles that promote individual expression of techniques, focusing on elements such as footwork, timing, and spirit. The dojo operates out of the gymnasium at Ravenswood Fellowship United Methodist Church, fostering community engagement and cultural exchange.
