Karate involves learning self-confidence, self-discipline, and builds self-esteem .  Our style also incorporates Japanese customs, history, and language in our class curriculum.  We are looking forward to having you as a student in our dojo as it takes a special person to be a karate student, one who walks the path.  It takes a person with high morals and respect for self and others, to be one of these special people. If this defines what you're looking for then by all means continue to view this website for valuable information. You will learn about history, customs and protocols of the Okinawa people, kata, kobudo, and kumite techniques.  Last you will see a photo gallery of the Orland Dojo with highlighted pictures of events, seminars, and visits to Okinawa, Japan. 

We are a charter member of the OSMKKF (Okinawa Shorin-Ryu Matsumura Seito Karate and Kobudo Federation), led by Grandmaster Fusei Kise, 10th Dan and Kaicho Isao Kise, 8th Dan Supreme Instructor from Okinawa, Japan. The Orland Dojo has direct connection to Sensei Brad Hamel, 5th Dan who is a student of Shihan Greg Lazarus, 7th Dan (Eastern U.S. Director) from the Dover Kenshin Kan Dojo in Dover, NH. 

All rank promotions are certified via Okinawa, and Master Kise personally supervises all Black Belt promotions during his yearly visits to the United States.  Our classes stress traditional protocol, self-discipline, and quality authentic training and techniques as they are done in Okinawa, Japan.
