David Orman, Sensei; Instructor
Dr. David Orman has been immersed in the martial arts world since 1985, forging a path of mastery across multiple disciplines. He holds Black Belts in Karate, Aikido, Kendo, Tai Chi, and Japanese Sword, and is a Certified Full Instructor in both Systema, the Russian art of movement-based self-defense, and Krabi Krabong, the powerful Thai art of sword and stick fighting.
One of only four Americans to earn the coveted Instructor title in The Approach—a rare British self-defense system—David’s knowledge is both elite and expansive.
He made history as the first to bring Russian martial arts to Central Florida, founding Central FL Systema, a pioneering school known for its innovative blend of tradition, strategy, and healing.
What sets David apart is more than skill—it’s his integrative philosophy. He weaves together Systema, Eastern martial arts, acupuncture points, herbal wisdom, and Taoist teachings into a transformative experience that empowers students not just to defend, but to evolve—physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Whether on the mat or in the healing room, David is known for his inspiring presence, deep knowledge, and ability to unlock the warrior within.
WHAT IS SYSTEMA?
Systema is not just a martial art—it’s a revolution in movement, awareness, and personal power.
One of the most creative, effective, and adaptable fighting systems in the world, Systema is rooted in centuries of Russian warrior tradition and refined through modern-day, real-world application. It’s been tested in the streets, in combat, and in life.
Unlike traditional martial arts, Systema has no forms, no stances, no rigid techniques, and no belts. There are no patterns to memorize, no ranks to chase—just pure, intuitive training based on breathing, relaxation, structure, and natural movement.
You’ll learn to move with power and precision under pressure. To stay calm in chaos. To defend yourself efficiently—without brute force. To dissolve fear, tension, and old habits.
And to tap into a level of strength that comes not from tension, but from relaxation.
If you’ve trained in other martial arts, Systema will expand your understanding and unlock new layers of skill, adaptability, and depth. If you’re new to martial arts, this is a welcoming, empowering path that meets you exactly where you are.
This is more than self-defense—it’s self-mastery.
Come train. Come transform.
Discover the art of relaxed power.

What is Krabi Krabong
We are a dedicated group of martial artists united by our passion for Krabi Krabong—the dynamic, ancient Thai art of stick and sword fighting.
At the heart of this system are twin sticks, each 35–36 inches long, designed to mirror traditional Thai swords. Movements are practiced in flowing, sequential patterns—ranging from 3 to 11 or more strikes—blending precision, rhythm, and raw power. It’s both intensely effective and incredibly fun.
Our training is guided by the legendary Thohsathep Sitiwatjana, known worldwide as Master O—one of Thailand’s most respected Krabi Krabong masters. With deep roots in an esteemed lineage and a spirit of generosity, Master O brings not only unmatched skill, but also a rare warmth and wisdom to every lesson.
We’re honored to carry on this warrior tradition under his guidance, blending ancient forms with modern passion.
Whether you’re a seasoned martial artist or a curious beginner, you’re welcome to join us and experience the power, beauty, and brotherhood of Krabi Krabong.
Classes are Mondays from 6-7 online and in person in the city of Ocoee (contact me for details).
“David is the best teacher I have ever had by far. I love this art and his classes are spectacular.” Carlos A.
