Fierce Tiger Martial Arts Association - Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate
    
    We bring the martial art of traditional karate within reach to everyone in Central Florida
regardless of age and fitness level. Founder and chief instructor, William Valdes, strongly
believes each individual can learn and benefit from karate training. At our location in Clermont, Florida, our classes are disciplined yet friendly, allowing the whole family to participate, learn
and develop at their own speed. We start working with children as young as 5 years of age,
and older students can be well into their seventies.

    We believe people of all walks of life can enjoy the many benefits karate training has to offer. Karate is not just a great form of self-defense, it also provides students the opportunity to grow
and develop their character, increase confidence, improve their focus and nurture their inner security. Above all, we teach in a supervised environment to provide safe training experience, encourage self-discipline and self-control. In short, karate training allows you to improve your
fitness level while learning valuable skills at the same time.

The ultimate aim of the art of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection
of the characters of its participants.
