Welcome to Our Family-Oriented Karate School in Orlando
The Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate-Do in Orlando, Florida, is dedicated to providing instruction in traditional Okinawan karate. 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." — Shōshin Nagamine, The Essence of Okinawan Karate-Do (1976)
Federation Leadership
Shihan Geoffrey Gaudoin serves as President of the United States Matsubayashi-Ryu Karate-Do Federation (USMKF). Visit the Federation page for current leadership information and confirmed affiliated dojos.
Training
We offer classes grouped by age: Kinder-Karate (ages 4-6), Kids-Karate (7-12), and Adult Co-ed Karate (13+). See details in the Karate Classes page.
Our Philosophy
Our primary goal in life should be devotion to self-improvement. The dojo emphasizes discipline, self-confidence, and physical fitness. The study of karate is a lifelong journey, not just about achieving a black belt.
