  Holy smokes is all I can say right now.  Our Fighting Fit Cardio Circuit Kickboxing class is totally off the wire ! !  Tonight’s class was packed!  And with 4 new members joining Thursday we might have to cap the class off for the first time since opening!  This 50 minute fat smoker has everyone around town talking about Ocala Karate & Fitness.  www.ocalashinbukan.com  www.ocalakaratefitness.com

Getting Fit has never been easier

   Not only is everyone getting an AWESOME workout, but they are having a great time.  With the really good selection of music we have chosen to go along with the different workout routines, it makes the class so much more fun than your ordinary walk or run on the treadmill.  Plus, your toning and strengthening so many different muscles throughout your entire body.  You will notice things tightening up and getting definition within the first 30 days. 

  And then for the real die hards.   If that’s not enough stick around for the Self Defense class after that and not only learn REAL life saving skills, but get another workout on top of the Cardio.  Ever wonder why all those MMA guys are so ripped.  Show up for the Self Defense Black Belt Program only available here at Ocala Karate & Fitness and find out for yourself. 

  The drills and sets that we do in that class not only condition our bodies to where if we were ever to find ourselves in a really bad situation, not only would we mentally know what to do.  But we could physically back it up as well !!  www.ocalaselfdefense.com

   Just one more reason Ocala Karate & Fitness is proving to Ocala that we are one of the best Martial Arts and Fitness centers in the area.  If you want to some and find out for yourself, just contact us at 352-694-6304 and schedule your FREE class.  That’s right.  We’re so confident that you will make the right choice and join one of our many programs, that we will let you try any of them for free.  www.ocalashinbukan.com

  What an awesome night we had here at Ocala Karate & Fitness.  Tonight marked the first Cardio Kickboxing NIGHT class for 2010 and man was it packed.  We had 16 people in class tonight all kicking it up a notch to reach all their goals for 2010.  And Ocala Karate & Fitness’s Cardio Kickboxing and Cardio Circuit class is just what the doctor ordered. 

Getting Fit has never been easier

   Talk about burning calories and getting in shape fast !  Our members tonight were smiling from ear to ear when the class ended.  Of course they were all exhausted, but that ’s the reason they were all smiling.  They could all tell that this was the workout that they were all needing.  Our Carido Class is a unique combination of muscle toning, strength training drills that are combined with some heart racing drills that produce just the right intervals to create one heck of a workout.

Hello everyone,

With the end of the year approaching quickly, and the New Year right around the corner, Ocala Karate and Fitness is trying to make it a little easier for those that have been trying to decide to join our program this month or next month.  We’re happy to announce that anyone joining between December 9th and December 31st 2009, will have their membership and registration fee waived.

That’s right !  Between now and the end of the year, we are waiving the 40 dollar registration/membership fee.  Now I know that’s not a whole lot of money, but during the Holidays 40 bucks can make a difference.  AND all new members will still get their Karate Uniform’s Sparring gear, Gear Bag, and T Shirt Free by enrolling in our Black Belt Program.

This program is just what the doctor has ordered for anyone and everyone trying to get fit, lose weight, and get themselves back to where they used to be.

Getting Fit has never been easier

This program is really a win, win situation, so don’t waist time and miss this awesome deal.  Check us out on line at www.ocalakaratefitness.com and see why everyone is saying that Ocala Karate & Fitness is Ocala’s #1 choice in Martial Arts.

It features classes in Shorin Ryu Karate, Ryukyu Kobudo,(Okinawan Weapons) and our Calorie ripping Cardio Kickboxing Circuit Fitness Class.  This membership will not only have you ready for DUAL Certifications, a BLACK BELT in Shorin Ryu Karate and a BLACK BELT in Okinawan Weapons, but will also have you in the absolute best shape of your life.  Both physically and mentally.  You’ll have strength, balance, flexibility, and be Cardio fit.  This is what separates our programs at Ocala Karate & Fitness from everyone else.

Don’t forget to ask about our NEW SELF-DEFENSE BLACK BELT PROGRAM that is launching in January.  This class is just one more reason why we are Ocala’s leader in the martial arts.  www.ocalaselfdefense.com

So don’t make the same mistake by saying you’ll get around to it.  Make the decision now, and come on down and get registered.  Even if you don’t start until after the New Year, register so you can take advantage of this smoking end of the year deal.

Everyone have a safe Holiday and we look forward to seeing you soon !

Merry Christmas

Robby & Jaime Bray

   Well we are very blessed here at Ocala Karate & Fitness to have all the local Ocala support with all of our Karate and Cardio programs that we have to offer.  Even through these hard time, the support that the local community is showing is truly amazing.  I feel that our Karate and Cardio programs are proving their worth and value in gold.  When we first opened the doors 9 months ago, I heard how crazy I was from many people. 

     “Why in the world you open a new business in this horrible economy?”  I must have heard this a million times.  But Ocala has shown that even through these truly difficult times, the benefits of our programs are worth their weight in gold.  Our members are getting leaner, fitter, and in better shape than they have ever been in their lives.  I have had so many of our members tell us how they’ve lost weight, gotten stronger, more flexible, and just truly feel good about themselves.  The best they’ve felt in years.

Working out has never been more fun !

     Whether their sweating it out in our cardio circuit class, or kicking and punching their way to a healthier life in our Shorin Ryu Karate or Ryukyu Kobudo (Weapons) class.  Our members are having the best time of their lives and getting fit at the same time.  This was the sole purpose for opening the doors up 9 months ago.  To provide all of Ocala and Marion County with a “Real” Martial Arts Fitness Center. 

Getting fit is what we're all about !

     Starting next week, we are launching our new LITTLE DRAGONS karate class.  This class will be geared for all of our youngest students ages 4-6 and will be a blast!  This class will focus on building all these little guys and gals for our children’s karate class. (Ages 7-10)  Teaching balance, coordination, focus, group activities, and mental discipline, upon graduating this class, our Little Dragons can enter directly into our children’s class.
