Fonseca Martial Arts, Glenview

USA Karate Federation Hall of Fame honoree and four-time Panamerican Karate champion John Fonseca teams up with a cadre of talented instructors to lead their charges through martial arts and fitness classes that strengthen minds and bodies. Though the martial-arts program mainly focuses on shotokan karate, the sensei also offers judo and self-defense. Bushy-tailed neophytes start at the beginning, learning the basics of their chosen form, whereas advanced students delve into such mind-focused arenas as chi energy training and personally apologizing to every punching bag they have ever hurt.
