Over a century ago, in the small village of Chan, on a small island in the south pacific, a boy was born. One day he would become a Karate Master whose art would reach beyond the shores of Okinawa and spread across the globe.

The Penn State Karate Club will meet in room 232 HUB on Saturdays from 4-6PM (starting 9/20/25) instead of Fridays. There will be no Friday meeting tonight (9/19/25).
232 HUB is on the Student Book Store side of the building, 2 floors above the WPSU radio booth.
PSKC will still meet on Wednesdays & Sundays from 7-9PM on the HUB lawn. If weather is poor, meet inside by the Student Book Store entrance, on the lower level.
Look for the Penn State Karate Club at the Student Involvement Fair. The event is one of the best opportunities to get involved in campus life at Penn State. Student Organizations set up displays and have members on site talk to visitors one on one about what their organization does on campus. Involvement in co-curricular experiences is one of the most important parts of having a successful college career! You will make friends, learn all about Penn State, and develop invaluable skills you will use in life beyond Penn State. Wondering where to start? Start at the Involvement Fair! Look for the Penn State Karate Club table!
