In 1952, Jhoon Rhee introduced Tae Kwon Do in the United States in San Marcos, Texas. By 1955, the major Korean Dojangs agreed on the basic tenements of Tae Kwon Do. In 1960, Master Fred Simon began his martial arts training under the direction of Jhoon Rhee, and received his Black Belt in 1964.

Sensei Chambers began his martial arts training in 1979 in Beaumont, Texas. In 1992, Sensei Chambers began training under Master Simon. Sensei Chambers also opened his first martial arts school (Sour Lake Karate School) in Beaumont in 1992. In 1993, he began also teaching at two locations in the Houston area and had eight students qualify for the Amateur Organization of Karate (AOK) State Championships.

In 1995, Sensei Chambers opened his first school in the Houston area, and was later joined by Sensei Jamie McCleskey. North Side Karate had fifteen students qualify for the AOK State Championships. In 1996, North Side Karate became a sanctioned AOK tournament producer, sponsoring the highly successful Christmas in July Extravaganza. Sensei chambers opened a second school location in New Caney, Texas. Amazingly, NSK had thirty-three students qualify for the AOK State Championships. Sensei Chambers also won his first AOK Instructor of the Year Award and his 2^nd Degree Black Belt.

Between 1997 and 1998, North Side Karate experienced tremendous growth and saw the opening of North Side Karate's Aldine's Tae Kwon Do & Self Defense. The system was blessed to have many dedicated parent volunteers who helped Sensei Chambers take the school to new heights in martial arts training and in competitive events. Outstanding parent volunteers include long-time members Carolyn Davis, Vera Maxie, Mrs. Maxwell, Brenda Felton, and Edward Hart. The system also included many great students who helped train underbelt students in the art and the North Side System. These students included George Ramos, Brittany Maxwell, Abdul Sayed, and Jecobie Gilder, just to name a few. In 1998, North Side Karate had sixty students qualify for the AOK State Championships and Sensei Chambers was elected to the AOK Executive Committee. Sensei Chambers also received his first AOK Greek Award as the top overall Black Belt competitor in the State of Texas.

In 1999, North Side Karate began offering outside training programs to HISD schools among others and qualified over fifty students for the state title. The year 2000 proved to be yet another banner year for the North Side Karate school system as fifty-five students qualified for state, Sensei Chambers won his 2^nd consecutive Greek Award, and was selected to host the 2002 AOK State Championship Tournament. In 2001, the system opened branch schools at seven different local campuses and Sense Chambers won his 3^rd consecutive Greek Award. Sensei Chambers solicited the assistance of 5-time Parent of the Year Award winner, Edward Hart to help plan and coordinate the 2002 AOK State Championships.

In 2002, North Side Karate launched its first ever website and set itself apart from other martial arts programs with an abundance of information to assist students and parents. Under the leadership of Sensei Chambers and Edward Hart, North Side Karate held one of the best State Championship Tournaments ever held. The event introduced various technologies to advance the experience of parents and competitors. The event featured awards that included the standard AOK medals and a plaque for all state champions, a dedicated child care area near the competition arena, closed circuit broadcast of the event, and various other presentation technology during the tournament and the accompanying banquet. Sensei Chambers again won the AOK's Instructor of the Year Award, and his partner Edward Hart won the very first AOK Walt Mason Award as the State Volunteer of the Year.

In 2003, several North Side students won national titles from various martial arts organizations, and three students won SuperGrands World Championship Titles. The year also saw the return of Mr. George Droddy to the system as a Black Belt instructor. In 2004, the school once again saw exponential growth at its main facility and its outside programs. Sensei Chambers earned his 4^th Degree Black Belt in 2005.

Between 2006 and 2007, North Side Karate grew substantially, particularly through its outside programs, which grew from 25 to 62, including seven different school districts. In 2008, North Side Karate moved its main location from its familiar spot on Airline Drive near West Road to its current location on Greens Parkway. The new facility provides more than double the space and several other amenities than the previous location.

Today, North Side Karate is still thriving through Sensei Chambers leadership and the valiant efforts of several NSK Black Belts who now have day-to-day martial arts training responsibility. These instructors include long-time students Derick Quick, Antonio Anderson, and George Droddy. The system still produces a very large number of state qualifiers.
