About Shi Rei Kai

In 2025, as a way to tribute Sensei Jose Luis Montes teachings, renamed to "Shi Rei Kai".

​

The name Shi Rei Kai represents a place where the will to improve is welcomed and respected, inspired by the idea of Kokorozashi, the warrior’s determination to keep moving forward.

​

Our dojo was founded with the purpose of continuing the teachings passed down from our Sensei, maintaining the values of discipline, respect, and perseverance while creating a friendly and supportive environment for all students.

​​

We have been offering the Mundelein and surrounding area with great traditional Karate Do quality.

Training is a journey that develops character, confidence, physical strength, and a strong spirit.

For this reason, every student at Shi Rei Kai is encouraged to progress at their own pace, with guidance that respects their age, experience, and personal goals.

​​​

Our classes combine traditional Shitō-Ryū karate, self-defense, weapons training, and physical conditioning, always with a focus on proper technique, safety, and personal improvement.

​

Our priority is long-term development, strong fundamentals, and building a community where students support each other.

​

At Shi Rei Kai, we train seriously, but we train together.
