Come join our family at World Martial Arts Center in Gainesville, FL! We offer excellent instruction in the Japanese art of Wado Ryu (pronounced Wah - Do - Roo) - a unique self-defense and sport fighting system. Our action packed and practical curriculum is full of exciting and up-to-date techniques that effectively blends striking skills (karate and kickboxing) with grappling skills (Throws, Take-downs and Submission from Ju-Jitsu). Its emphasis centers around the principles of skillful evasion combined with effective applications against all styles of attack.


Your Martial Arts program will help you develop your mind, body and spirit through mental focus, physical fitness and the development of an indomitable spirit. The Wado Ryu style will allow you to push yourself in ways you did not think possible and accomplish what others only talk about. We‘ll welcome you into a friendly, non-competitive training environment with experienced, professional instructors. Here you can develop valuable personal skills for day to day situations and learn effective self-defense techniques while getting or staying in great shape!
