The Orlando Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate-Do is dedicated to providing the best instruction in traditional karate in a Christian environment. This school prides itself on the practice of "traditional" karate. Traditional karate demands that the mind, body and spirit be trained as one. As our Grand Master, Shoshin Nagamine 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 students attitude and dedication. Students need to demonstrate a willingness to learn and a tenacity to never give up.
Student since 1995 and because of this school, a lifelong martial artist....there is no better instruction in Orlando where you will also find the true essence of the martial arts :)
The school is run by a good Christian family that has studied in Karate for over 35 years. The prices are so cheap compared to that of other martial arts places. All members are nice and there is no hazing or bullying of any kind, because it calls for expulsion.
What a fantastic group of people! We so enjoyed our time at this dojo. There is no better place to go for karate instruction. Everyone is so caring, supportive, and dedicated!
Quality instruction in traditional Okinawan Karate including its principles and a genuine concern in their students’ development and well being; you won’t find a better school than the Gaudoins’.
I have known Renshi Geoff Gaudoin for many years before I joined his dojo. He is truly a remarkable man of character and integrity who cares for us all and. It is his kindness and traditional skill that has kept me and my family at Okinawan Karate Do since 1999. Other families have been there longer and will agree, it's not a value for a price, its an honor for a lifetime.
The Okinawan Shorin-Ryu dojo has been a true blessing for my family. My children are learning traditional martial arts from teachers with wonderful morals and values.
It is a great family atmosphere.
The care and commitment demonstrated by the Gaudoin's is remarkable. The quality of instruction is unparalleled. If you want true Karate instruction in mind, body and spirit then Okinawan Shorin-Ryu is the place to be.
