Martial Arts School – Central Florida Chayon Ryu
Operating in Orlando since 1985, Central Florida Chayon Ryu is a traditional martial arts school located at 1801 Rouse Rd, Orlando, FL 32817, where it has remained in its original location throughout its history. The school teaches Chayon Ryu, described as the “Natural Way,” a system that blends Chinese Chu’an Fa, Okinawan Karate, Korean Tae Kwon Do, and Hapkido into a single classical curriculum.
The school emphasizes self-improvement, awareness, and practical self-defense suitable for students of all ages, positioning its program as distinct from sport or tournament karate. Its ranking structure includes ten ranks leading to Black Belt and ten Black Belt levels, without intermediate stripe steps along the way. Instruction is built around quality classical training rather than competition, with one test per rank and a no-nonsense approach to advancement.
Several features set the school apart from what it characterizes as “mall karate.” There are no membership contracts, and students wear traditional uniforms without promotional patches. The program avoids gimmicks and focuses on consistent technical development at prices the school describes as competitive within the Greater Orlando area. A first class is offered free to newcomers who want to experience the training before committing.
Central Florida Chayon Ryu provides a class calendar and instructor information online, and an email signup option keeps students informed about special events and announcements. The school maintains an active social media presence on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, where it shares training content and updates.
Interested students can reach the school by phone at 407-953-8876. With nearly four decades at the same Orlando address, a multi-discipline traditional curriculum, and a contract-free structure, Central Florida Chayon Ryu serves families and individuals seeking classical martial arts instruction focused on self-defense and personal growth in Central Florida.
