  What a blast we all had tonight in the Self Defense class here at Ocala Karate & Fitness.  www.ocalaselfdefense.com.  Closing out week #2 in the new Street Self Defense class went really smooth.  All of our members are picking up the basic drills very easily, which proves that this New Self Defense Program really does WORK. 

   Having been designed to accommodate the every day person, this class takes this highly effective, yet easy to learn program and will have just about anyone, any make, any model, up on the feet and able to protect themselves in just a few short weeks.  This week we have been covering punching combinations ranging from jab/cross, jab/cross/hook, and cross/hook/cross.  Choke defense, standing up from the ground, and a few other really beneficial drills were touched on the surface.

    Remember that this is only week #2 so as the class moves on and builds, the material transitions from learning basic striking and counters, to full on assaults.  This program was built with progression in mind.  Are members will be utilizing their shin guards, and head gear in the next several weeks as push into more advanced, and REAL situation defense.

    When you talk about Self Defense we must remember that “nothing” is written in stone and “nothing” is 100%.  That’s why we have got to train are members to be able to defend themselves from just about any situation conceivable.  The only way to be prepared, is to be BEST prepared.  This class is a very fast paced workout too, with lots of striking combinations with our partners using focus mitts and other targets.  I tell all our members that one of the most important things ANY Self Defense Class can teach is how to REALLY be able to hit someone.  I mean let’s face it.  If you trying to learn Self Defense because you really want to be able to defend yourself, you had better be able to hit some one.  Otherwise you are really wasting your time.

How to hit, and how to hit HARD !!

Self Defense Black Belt Program

 We’re rolling into week #2 in Ocala Karate & Fitness’s Self Defense Program and everyone in class is going to notice the pace pick up a bit.  Now I know it’s only week 2 in our Self Defense Class, but everyone attending is going to notice the steady progression every week of this class.  We are beginning at the ground level with very basic fundamental drills that will take our Self Defense members from not knowing how to throw the first punch or kick in a self defense situation to being able to strike an opponent with the right power and authority needed to end a violent situation.

     This week’s class is going to build off of the basic punching combinations learned last week, by adding two new ones into the series.  As the class moves on, these combinations too will help build striking speed and power in our members.  Also this week we will be adding defensive measures against different choking attacks.  Like the striking drills, these drills will also begin basic and then build into more complex and more intense drills that will increase our members strength and confidence over the course of the program.

  The other great thing about this class is that it is a complete THREE year program.  Now you might ask yourself just what exactly does all that mean and how does that benefit our students?  For starters:  This is not a limited or set program, so just when you start to understand what is going on, the class won’t end.  This will allow our Self defense members to continue becoming more comfortable, more confident, and more capable of defending themselves from just about ANY situation that he/she might find themselves in.

      The other thing this means is that our Self defense members get to advance physically as well.  This means that by staying in the program they will be getting more exercise and becoming more fit.  The drills will continue to increase over time and in intensity to help our Self Defense defense members tone up and lose weight at the same time too.  It’s only common sense to realize that ultimately, being able to defend yourself also means you have to be in better shape.  One more reason why this program is becoming as popular here in Ocala as it has. 

  Ocala Karate & Fitness’s Self Defense Program is held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7:00.  For more information on this amazing new progam, check us out at www.ocalaselfdefense.com or www.ocalakaratefitness.com .  Or just stop by in person and see for yourself why every week we continue to position ourselves as Ocala’s Premier Martial Arts School.

                                                                                                 Hope to see you soon

Well 2009 is officially over, and its freezing cold outside right now.  Last night was no exception, as I think the Temperature got down to around 27 degrees last night.  Now that’s cold! !  But, one place in town it wasn’t cold was here at Ocala Karate & Fitness.  Last night marked the first class of 2010 and man did we go at it full speed ! !

All the classes were full last night as everyone poured in from their Christmas break, just itching to get back to business.  And that’s exactly what we did.  It didn’t take long at all to get every one’s heart rates up and respiration’s going.  After a nice, long over due stretch, we jumped into our basic punches, kicks, strikes, blocks, and combinations with an intensity that made me smile.

   Just wanted to let everyone know just how much fun our Youth/Teen Karate class is.  This class has really been a blast since we started it up a few weeks ago.  These guys and gals are really having fun and learning a TON of Karate and Self defense.  This age group of 11-14 is working really hard on everything from their basic punches, kicks, blocks, and strikes, to their forms and stances. 

   And lets not forget about their self defense skills and sparring.

Mixing up the combinations

    They will all agree that here at Ocala Karate & Fitness   www.ocalakaratefitness.com  there is so much information to learn that classes are never dull, and never turn into the same old routine.  That’s why we are growing at the pace that we are.  The highest quality Okinawan Karate that you can learn in Ocala, coupled withone of the nicest training facilities around.  Add these two things with a very convenient location on 36th ave by the Publix shopping center and its a super combination. 

   The best part of this mix is that we have so many other programs in motion that you can also choose from.  We have the cardio fitness programs in the mornings and evenings for anyone wanting to shed a few pounds, or just a serious martial artist that wants to be in the best shape of their life upon reaching their black belt.

  We have the Self Defense Black Belt Program that is launching in January.  www.ocalaselfdefense.com  This class will be teaching Street smart self defense in a simple and easy to learn format that is designed NOT for MMA Fighters, but NORMAL everyday people.  This class is going to be such a huge hit here in town that we’re only offering the special Intro price to the first 20 people that register for it.  After that the special intro deal will no longer be available.  So if your walking the fence you REALLY need to stop by and reserve your spot.

   Ocala Karate & Fitness is here to better serve you and all the needs of the local community.  I have personally lived here my whole life, and have watched the area grow.  I only wish growing up that I would have had a Martial Arts school that is offering what we now have made available to everyone.  So stop by anytime and get some information or just watch for yourself and see what we can do to help you.

    Well our Cardio Kickboxing classes are filling up fast now.  These super intense high calorie workouts are giving all of our members exactly what they are looking for.  50 minutes of fast paced hard core drills that are toning everyone up.  Everyone is talking about how good they feel and how happy they are to be back after summer.  From the opening 12 minutes of punching combinations to the last 40 minutes of cardio, the end result is putting a smile on every one’s face.  These fast paced workouts are exactly what everyone needs.  The key is to continuously keep the heart rate spiking up and down.  By actively engaging the large muscle groups and smaller muscle groups in the right sequence, our bodies naturally respond by elevating our metabolism.  This leads to a higher total calorie expenditure through out the rest of the day.  Even long after the work out is over, our bodies will continue to burn more calories than before.  This is due to the increase in lean muscle tissue.  Lean muscle tissue uses more calories.  So the more lean muscle tissue we can build, the more calories our bodies naturally burn.  Even at rest.  This is where these workouts really come into play.  Not only our we toning our bodies, but we’re training them to burn more calories just doing regular daily activities.  The end result is a leaner, toner, more defined body that will enable us to live longer and healthier lives.  Cardio fitness is one of the most important things we can do to protect our bodies from heart disease, diabetes, and so many other ailments that plague our bodies as we age.  So get on the floor with the rest of us on Mon, Wed, and Friday mornings, or Tuesday and Thursday evenings and start building your new body now.  All visitors are welcome to stop by and watch or even jump in and try a class.  So don’t wait any longer.  Come to class tomorrow and start getting all the benefits that are current members are already enjoying.  NO MORE EXCUSES.  It’s up to you to take charge in your life and start making a difference.  All you have to do now is show up.
