   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.

   Hello Everyone,

   Just wanted to give you guys / gals a little more information on Prograde Nutritions Pre/Post Workout shake.  First off I’d like to say that in the past I used several other drinks available through various places, but I have NEVER gotten even close to the results from previous drinks as to what I am getting from Prograde’s Workout.

Available at Ocala Karate & Fitness

   These delicious work out shakes provide a foundation for rapid muscle recovery and muscle growth.  The special formulation of High quality protein, rapidly digested carbohydrates, free form amino acids, vitamins, and essential minerals, are the key to promoting maximum post workout recovery. This Post workout shake is one of the HIGHEST quality drinks on the market.

    Prograde Workout Contains:

• a formulated 2:1 ratio of quick digesting carbohydrates to proteins.
• It is only 200 calories per serving when taken with water.
• The protein is made up of Whey Protein Isolate, which has a concentration of higher than 95% Protein.
• The Carbohydrate is a combination of Dextrose and Maltodextrine, which facilitates quick absorption and utilization by the muscles.
• Contains essential B vitamins that provides the energy to your cells to begin the recovery process.
• Has essentially 0 grams of fat to assure that you are not consuming any unwanted calories.

  Researchers have proven that the recovery of muscle nutrient stores can be enhanced by digesting a specific combination ratio of carbohydrates and protein.  Significant carbohydrate storage (glycogen) greatly reduces the recovery time from exercise.

    Furthermore, the consumption of Protein directly after workouts is also essential to repairing the muscle tissue that gets damaged during exercise or physical exertion.  It also provides the essential amino acids required to repair the muscle tissue for the next work out.

     These two key ingredients are VITAL to preparing your body for the next work out.  Athletes should consume a recovery drink as soon as possible after every workout or competition, and should wait no longer than 1 hour to do so.  This golden hour is the most critical time for the replenishment of muscle glycogen and amino acid absorption.

     What is Prograde Workout Formulated to do?

  Prograde Workout is formulated to maximize recovery for BOTH STRENGTH and ENDURANCE athletes for the anabolic phase of rebuilding phase that takes place immediately following exercise.  The longer you stay in an anabolic state, the greater the result in increasing muscle mass and strength for athletes, and the greater energy storage levels for endurance athletes. 

Recent research has shown that after engaging in near maximal exercise for short periods of time, the transient glycogen “super compensation” in ALL muscle fibers can be found.  So your performance WILL suffer the next training session and might even result in loss of muscle due to lack of glycogen and protein stores.

   For more information on this AWESOME Pre and Post Workout drink, visit us at www.http://ocalakaratefitness.getprograde.com/.  Or visit our school website at www.ocalakaratefitness.com.

                                                Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you on the training floor.

     Well tonight was the official start of Ocala Karate & Fitness’s Youth Karate Class.  This class has been designed specifically for young Karate students between the ages of 11 and 14 years of age. 

     I would like to tell everyone JUST HOW WELL THEY ALL DID !  Everyone ramped up and made this class awesome.  Between the more advanced techniques that were covered, and the extra time spent on their stances and body weight transitioning, the guys and gals are really going to be good.

     The primary focus in this new class is: 1.  To continue moving forward with harder more complex drills focusing on their balance.  2.  To ramp up the pace of the class creating much more of  a cardio workout.  This helps them to stay fitter during their teenage years when they are growing.  3.  Introduce them to more Self Defense type drills and applications building their confidence and awareness.  4.  Developing more CORE strength, which is such an important part to everyone, but seems to slip to the way side in most sports today.  5.  And most importantly, to help them all transform into HEALTHY, more AGILE, and FIT adults.

     Also I would like to mention that anyone interested in our morning Cardio Kickboxing/Circuit Fitness class, you really need to call now and reserve a spot.  With 12 people now attending, the available spots are filling up for this AWSOME, fast paced, Calorie Smoking class.  New drills will be coming in on Friday too as we rotate a new set of exercises in, so everyone rest up over the next day and get ready !

    I just wanted to say what a great class tonight was at Ocala Karate & Fitness.  Our Junior level class is a beginners level Karate Class that centers around the age group of 7-12 yrs of age.  Currently the class is about 15 students large and I just really want to commend them all on how far they have ALL come since summer.  Most of these little guys and gals started around June and July, and have come such a long way since day 1.  I think all the parents will agree as to how far this class has come in only 3 months time.  The balance and coordination skills that everyone in the class are starting to demonstrate to me every class now really brings a smile to my face.  I had several parents that enrolled their children in our program for the same reasons.  They either really needed help or work on their coordination, needed to get a little more exercise, or needed to build their self confidence and were just a little shy.  Well after tonight I think everyone is starting to see really big results on the floor.  These kids are bouncing around in sparring gear throwing kicks and punches, performing really complex drills, and following group exercises and routines to the tee.  The way these little guys and girls have grown and evolved over the last few months is absolutely positively great.  I couldn’t be prouder of my Junior class than I am right now.  And the best part of all is that it will only continue to get better and better.  This is because Okinawan Karate is designed to build these skills from the base up.  This means that the longer they train, they continue to build upon what they have already learned making them more and more proficient at what they are doing.  Not only that, it teaches them from this young early age that no matter how hard or difficult something is or seems to be, as long as they practice every day they will get better at it.  Karate teaches us not to be easily discouraged and if we really put our minds to something and practice at it with 100%, there is nothing that we can not accomplish.  I’ll see everyone next week in class.
