Burdyck

Master John Burdyck offers martial arts instruction grounded in decades of training, teaching, and competition. A former world champion and Hall of Fame inductee, Burdyck began training in 1972, earned his first black belt in 1975, and won a world kickboxing championship in 1976. He later taught karate, boxing, and kickboxing, founded a martial arts school, and organized the Battle of Baltimore tournament for 35 years.

The business provides private and semi-private lessons in karate, boxing, and kickboxing. Students can train at Burdyck’s location or arrange mobile instruction, with services available in Ocala, Gainesville, Daytona Beach, Cedar Keys, and surrounding areas of Florida. His approach is described as old-school and demanding, with a focus on helping students develop practical fighting and self-defense skills. Training can also support fitness, balance, flexibility, agility, reflexes, confidence, focus, and stress relief.
