Genbu-Kai Karate

One of the rare traditional Okinawan karate schools. Teaching shito ryu style and kobudo - the art of traditional weapons. Perfect for all ages.

I have had the opportunity to visit the Florida Genbu Kai dojo several times in the past seven years due to business travel. Sensei Moore provides and excellent environment for learning traditional martial arts including kobudo and batto-do. The dojo is warm and friendly and there is a culture of learning the art correctly without being robotic. This curriculum is based on the traditional foundation of the three Ks: Kihon (basics), Kata (forms) and Kumite (sparring).

If you are looking for a traditional martial arts school, this is the place.

Came to this new martial arts family with a varied experience training in Korean Taekwondo and Okinawa Karate styles, my purpose to explore the world of Kobudo. Was welcomed by a warm, energetic and diverse group of individuals in terms of age and martial arts backgrounds held together by an equally inspiring Sensei who brings to his art and teaching a broad range of skills and experiences coupled with great spirit, evidenced by his enjoyment of his work and the respect accorded to him by his students of all ages. Across the past 40+ years, having trained with individuals whose abilities and lineages were quite respectable, I am in the position of being able to recommend this dojo without reservation. In closing, we cannot but fail to recognize that the foundation and inspiration for this organization is to be found in its legendary Grandmaster Demura Fumio Dai Sensei.

My son loves taking karate here. He looks forward to it each week and Sensei Moore is wonderful. I would definitely recommend this dojo.

My son attends this school and I am always impressed when I see what he has learned. The staff and members are wonderful and treat everyone like family. This is a close-knit school with a great teacher/student relationship. I would highly recommend them to all.

Ive been studying Batto (sword) for 2 1/2 years and find Sensei Moore and his instructors provide professional, all inclusive instruction in an environment that promotes growth. Even for a 69 year old grandmother like me!
