The Penn State Karate Club is one of the oldest university-based martial arts clubs in the country. We study an Okinawan style of karate called Isshinryu and encourage you to pay us a visit and work out with us at the White Building on Penn State's Campus. You do not need any previous martial arts experience to participate. The only requirement is a willingness to learn. We look forward to training with you.
In April of 2008, Penn State Network Television filmed a short news segment about the club. It features interviews with several club members and provides some current and historical footage of workouts and seminars. Enjoy:
The repairs to Room 106 are complete and we will be working out there for the rest of the summer. Our first workout in 106 will be Thursday, June 19th.
The Penn State Karate Club (PSKC) is the oldest university-based martial arts program in the U.S. It has been an active part of the Penn State University experience for over 36 years. Founding member Master Dane Sutton, 8th Dan, is presently the head instructor and a club advisor. While at Penn State, Kiyoshigo (Master Instructor) Sutton, has taught Karate to more than 7,000 PSU students and promoted more than 250 Karate Club members to Black Belt. Many of these Black Belts have gone on to establish their own schools or are instructing for law enforcement agencies or the U.S. military. In June of 2007, Okinawan Grandmaster Kichiro Shimabuku presented Kiyoshigo Sutton with a special award for his extraordinary accomplishments and dedication to Isshinryu Karate.
