Head Instructor
Sensei Moises de la Cruz"The foundational principles of respect, discipline, and diligence are integral to Karate-Do. In contrast to those who see karate as a sport, we view it as a lifestyle."
At Kihon Kai, we emphasize precise technique above all. Every movement is deliberate, every drill purposeful. Our training encompasses the full breadth of Shotokan tradition — forging not just skilled practitioners, but people of strong character.
Fundamentals practiced until they become instinct. The foundation of all karate mastery.
Choreographed sequences of techniques against imaginary opponents — moving meditation in motion.
Light contact sparring that builds timing, distance, and the courage to engage.
We follow the authentic Shotokan tradition, known for its powerful, linear techniques and deep stances. Every class is structured to build strength, coordination, and mental focus.
Students progress through a traditional belt ranking system, earning each rank through demonstrated skill, knowledge, and character — not just attendance.
Our dojo is a welcoming community for all ages and abilities, from young children taking their first steps on the martial path, to adults seeking discipline and self-improvement.
We offer structured programs for every age and stage. All classes are taught by Sensei Moises de la Cruz at our Kissimmee dojo.
A fun, structured environment where children develop discipline, confidence, focus, and respect — all through the art of Shotokan Karate.
Rigorous, traditional Shotokan training for teens and adults. Build strength, technique, and mental fortitude in a focused dojo environment.
A specially adapted karate program designed with love and patience for students with special needs. All are welcome on the mat.
"The role of a sensei is to serve as a role model — a living example of the discipline, respect, and perseverance they teach. When a sensei demonstrates a deep passion for their art, a strong work ethic, and a genuine commitment to their students' progress, they create an environment where students feel motivated to push beyond their own limits."
"La inspiración no solo se trata de la habilidad de un sensei, sino de su carácter y de cómo aplica los principios de su arte en todos los aspectos de su vida."
Our special needs program is one of the things we are most proud of. Sensei Moises has dedicated himself to making karate accessible to students of all abilities — adapting techniques, pacing, and communication to meet each student where they are.
The values of Karate-Do — patience, perseverance, and respect — speak to all of us. Every student deserves the chance to grow, to belong, and to discover what they are capable of.
