The Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate-Do in Orlando, Florida, is dedicated to providing the best instruction in traditional karate in a Christian environment. Traditional karate demands that the mind, body and spirit be trained as one. As our Grand Master, Shoshin Nagamine, founder of Matsubayashi-ryu karate, said, The mastery of karate-do requires dedication and strenuous effort.
To pursue karate means to seek to master one's self. Although proper technique and intellectual understanding are important, we are equally concerned with the student's attitude and dedication. Students need to demonstrate a willingness to learn and a tenacity to never give up. Whether a person is only considering a study of the art of karate, or is actually beginning such a study, it is necessary to view karate with a proper perspective.

My family has been involved with this family-owned dojo (which just celebrated it's 40 year anniversary) for 4 years, with my husband and I studying karate together for a year and a half before enrolling two of our children in 'kinder karate' at the age of 4. I have been so impressed with the family-focused environment and the firm but kind instruction. Chiildren in this dojo are learning to care for and protect their minds and bodies while respecting each other, their elders, and their environment. Start your child(ren) in classes at this dojo, and before long, you'll be donning a gi and practicing

This is an ideal place to train traditional martial arts for kids and adults. The owners have both been black belts for a very long time and they have a sizable black belt staff which guarantees students plenty of one-on-one instruction. This is a very technical school that really engages each student and helps all to achieve their potential. My son and I have been attending this school for over 10 years and love the school, the instructors and the community. This is home.
