 Hello Everybody,

  I just wanted to say how excited we are here at Ocala Karate & Fitness.  www.ocalashinbukan.com  Next week marks our FIRST official Year in business and man are we growing.  Ocala Karate & Fitness is Ocala’s Premier martial arts school.  If you don’t believe it just stop by anytime and see for yourself. 

  We offer more variety in our programs and have more to offer than anyone else in town.  We teach AUTHENTIC Okinawan Karate and Kobudo, but also offer if not the best, one of the best Cardio Fitness classes available.  New this year, Ocala Karate & Fitness has introduced its Self Defense Black Belt Program and what a class this has turned out to be.  www.ocalaselfdefense.com

  This class has really turned into a popular class as it hits on “real Life” self defense skills and situations that could really make the difference between a bad situation, and a really, really bad situation.  We’ve been going for 1 month now, and everyone in this class needs to really buckle their seatbelt, because next week we really start turning it on!

Ocala karate & Fitness Self Defense Program

  Our Juniors class now has hit about 12 members and is growing at a rapid pace too.  This class is for ages 11-13 and is really a fun class.  These junior guys and girls are not only benefiting from all the core principles that Okinawan Karate and teach, but also are beginning to learn some real Self Defense skills that will always be available to them if ever needed. 

    These are some of the life building skills and benefits that can only learned at first class martial arts training facility.  At Ocala Karate & Fitness we specialize in doing just that.  Teaching Karate and Fitness.  We are NOT an after school pick up or daycare center.  We take pride in doing what we do best, and that is teaching Okinawan Karate to those who truly wish to learn some of these amazing Life Changing exercises.

  So whether your looking to learn yourself, or to put someone you care about in class, call us today at 352-694-6304 and find out for yourself just how we can help you create something special.

We just finished up another week here at Ocala Karate & Fitness and want to congratulate our 8 NEW MEMBERS that joined our program this last week.  Our goal with this class is to have all of our members seeing positive results for their hard work in the shortest amount of time possible.  And at the rate these men and women are going that’s not going to be a problem at all.  Our newest members range in age from 15 to 53, and have hit this class wide open.  www.ocalashinbukan.com. 

  Some are doing it to finally get back in shape so they feel better about themselves and to lose some weight, while some are in the off season from soccer and wish to stay fit and in shape, and possibly even have an edge over everyone else when the season starts back up.  The drills and exercises in this class are beneficial not only to over all health, but also build: coordination, flexibility, balance, muscle tone and explosiveness, and last but not least, over better CARDIO FITNESS.

  Our lessons are Tuesday and Thursday nights at 6:00 and Mon Wed Fri mornings at 9:30.  Both instructors,Robby and Jaime Bray, are licensed and Certified Fighting Fit instructors, so you know you will be getting some of the best exercise drills available.   Rotating theses drills is a huge factor in any program, and Ocala karate & fitness rotates these drills out with NEW FRESH drills every 3-4 weeks so the workout never gets boring. 

  Ocala Karate & Fitness is constantly elevating our level of customer service too, because we know better than anyone that by bringing YOU the best workout possible is what makes us different from everyone else.  This is what helps make us the “BEST” Martial Arts school in Ocala. 

   Ocala is growing every year, and as it does, an unfortunate side effect is the fact that crime will continue to grow as well.  And having realized this, Ocala Karate & Fitness offers our Street Self Defense Class right after the Cardio Kickboxing class.  Many of our members have already taken advantage of this by joining the class and rolling from Cardio right into this fast paced “REALITY” based Self Defense Class. 

This Self Defense class will not only teach you how to properly handle yourself in a bad situation, but also get your body used to doing what it will NEED to do in a bad situation.  Just one more reason why Ocala Karate & Fitness is Ocala’s Premier Martial Arts Fitness Center.  We are doing everything we can to not only get you in the best Physical shape possible, but the SAFEST state possible too.

   Give us a call at 352-694-6304 and come see how we can make you “better” than you ever thought possible.  www.ocalaselfdefense.com 

                                                                                                                            See everyone next week

                                                                                                                    Have a Great Weekend

     Well tonight was Ocala Karate & Fitness’s last Kids Karate Class and Our last Adults Karate and Okinawan Weapons class until Jan 3rd.  I would like to start off by saying  just how proud of everyone I am right now.  The accomplishments and personal achievements that our members have made this year is something to really take pride in. 

    All the hard work and drills are really starting to pay off now.  I am watching our members in class do things now that 3 and 4 months ago were totally unobtainable.  This is when you know that we’re doing something right.  The combination of our Shorin Ryu Karate classes, accompanied by the Cardio Fitness classes is not only getting our members in shape, but strengthening all the areas that matter most.  In the last week I have had two separate members come up to me after class and say that they no longer have any back pain. 

    I’ve had another tell me that over the last 10 years they have had terrible chronic neck pain and limited range of motion.  Now, she says that for the first time in as long as she can remember her neck does not hurt or feels stiff when she turns.  This is what Okinawan Karate is all about.  It’s about not only strengthening our bodies, but building strong posture and alignment.  The motions and postures or stances that our Karate was built around was designed for this very purpose. 

To allow us as practitioners to live long and healthy lives.  By building strength around our spine and core, it develops or re-develops our bodies in ways that allows us to benefit the most.  And these are just the things our members are noticing over the SHORT term.  We have not even been open a year yet, so these our members that have only been training for less than 12 months.  Imagine what you would feel like if you practice for say 3 years.  Or 5 years.  Or better yet, an entire LIFETIME. 

    This is what Karate is really about.  Not only learning how to defend yourself against physical attacks, but to defend yourself against life itself.  The longer you train and practice, the more you realize you need to practice.  It is a very humbling but at the same time enlightening experience.  So start your NEW YEAR off right and give us a call at Ocala Karate & Fitness or check us out on the web at www.ocalakaratefitness.com  and see for yourself why everyone is saying that we are Ocala’s Premier martial arts studio.  

  Stop by and see for yourself what we can do to help you.

    Happy Holidays from all of us.

   Sincerely

  Robby and Jaime Bray

Stop by and see us!

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to start out by saying how relieved I am that my shipment of Prograde Workout finally came in.  I really screwed up last week and forgot to reorder my Bottle of Prograde Workout and ran out over the week end.

First off, let me tell you that I have never really been a big nutritional supplement kind of guy.  However, teaching 8 Karate per week, and 5 Cardio Kickboxing/Fitness classes per at Ocala Karate & Fitness, I can was really starting to get worn down.

I had a buddy of mine, Mike Massie, recommend to me that I should get set up with Prograde and give their products a try.  Well let me tell everyone something.  Believe me or not, but literally the next day I noticed a difference.

I started out taking the VGF 25, a multi vitamin that provides you the nutrients from 25 WHOLE vegetables, Fruits, and Greens.  But also provides you with a whole slew of other benefits including: safe guarding your Heart and circulatory system, Maximizes fat burning potential through optimal nutritional foundation, safe guards the prostate and urinary system,and boosts your digestive system function.

VGF 25+ For men

But the biggest change I noticed was when I started taking the Prograde Workout recovery shake.  This is a research based recovery drink that mixes the exact ratio of carbs to proteins to maximize workout performance and recovery.

What does this mean?  It means no more guessing what to eat or drink before your workouts.  Especially if your on the fly like everyone else now a days.  It mixes up with water or, and I recommend skim milk, in less than 60 seconds.  It’s special formula is RAPIDLY absorbed so its in your system by the time your ready to hit the floor.

What else does it do?  This is the best part.  It not only promotes, but accelerates Lean Muscle Tissue Growth.  Now I know some people will say “but I don’t want to bulk up”.  Well this is not bulking you up.  What it’s doing is promoting Lean tissue replacement which in turn RAISES your Metabolism and will cause your body to BURN more calories at rest.

    So while you are increasing the amount of Lean Muscle Tissue in your body, you are also increasing your body’s metabolism.  This means that all day long, even at rest, your body will be burning more calories just doing your everyday routine.  We all know that by increasing your body’s caloric usage, and not increasing the amount of calories you take in, will result in weight loss and muscle toning.

   So log onto our website and check out what all we have to offer at www.ocalakaratefitness.com  Or go directly to Prograde and see for yourself how we can help you get back the body that you want.  Click here http://ocalakaratefitness.getprograde.com/

   Until next time

    Building a Better tomorrow . . . Today.
