| Sensei David Moore |
David Moore began his karate training in the late 1970’s along with his brother
under Sensei Mike Foster of Yoshikia Karate. They trained with Sensei Foster for three years before
David moved to California. There he studied three different styles Kempo, Kung-fu Sansoo at the college
of Orange County and also Isshin-Ryu under Sensei Advincula. Sensei Advincula’s training is the most
memorable to David in California. He learned many Martial arts principles and heard many stories of
Sensei Advincula’s time in Okinawa and Vietnam.
David came back to Orlando, Fl and started training at Sensei Liquori’s famous O.B.T.
dojo, but due to family responsibilities he had to take a break from training. Approximately five years later
he met Sensei Howard Gelber who was holding a demonstration at David’s son’s school. He then resumed
his training in USA Goju with Sensei Gelber and later David found himself training at the main Dojo once
again with Sensei Liquori. After the main Dojo closed David followed the class to the Winter Park YMCA
and the Eastbrook YMCA. Where along with Sensei David Wells he received his Shodan.
In March of 2004 Sensei Liquori and Sensei Linda Liquori closed their class at the
Eastbrook YMCA. Sensei Scott Smith and Sensei David Wells started teaching in Orlando where David
currently trains and assists in teaching. In January of 2007 David lost part of his left leg to diabetes, but to
his credit has resumed his training and teaching. David says that his martial arts training helped him
through the ordeal of losing his leg. Most new students that meet Sensei Moore for the first time don’t
know of his supposed disability until they hurt their foot when they kick his prosthetic leg for the first time.
