In 1986, Bill Burch established Burch's Karate in the town of Minooka, Illinois.  After spending too many cold winters in the Chicago area, he and his wife, Tammy, decided to sell everything and venture off into the sunny state of Arizona.  In July of 2000, they relocated and reopened Burch's Karate in Scottsdale. In August of 2010, they relocated to their current location in Phoenix.
