Hello everybody,

We just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and hopefully everyone had a great Christmas.  We’re all excited here, and can’t wait to get 2010 started!  We have big plans for this year with some NEW awesome programs that we’re getting started next week including our Self Defense Black Belt Program. www.ocalaselfdefense.com

Ocala Karate & Fitness is pushing into 2010 and will be once again showing why we are Ocala’s Premier Karate & Martial Arts Fitness training facility.  Our Cardio  class will break out first on Monday morning at 9:30 with 15 NEW calorie smoking, muscle toning exercises.

Kicking off 2010

So if your needing to get some of those holiday pounds off, and really need something to KICK your body back into over drive, this fast paced cardio frenzy is your ticket.  By switching out these different station on a regular basis, your muscles are forced to stay ramped up and in a high calorie burning state to ensure that your getting the most out of your work out.

This is why we strive every day, every month of the year to provide all of our members with the maximum benefits from their work outs.  Combine this class with our Shorin Ryu Karate class or Self Defense class, and now your giving your body and mind the best form of work out available.  www.ocalakaratefitness.com.

The New Year will be bringing in a ton of new material and drills for our Ryukyu Kobudo class too.  With several of our members training with us for almost a Year now, the Okinawan weapons class will begin seeing a fresh new variety of drills and applications to help push their understanding and knowledge of the “Bo” or staff to a whole new level.

"Kihon" or Basics

So anyone looking for a NEW challenge in 2010, this class is just what you have been waiting for.  The technical, physical, and mental difficulty that the Okinawan’s weapons class pushes on its members, deepens and broadens not only their understanding of this Okinawan puzzle, but teaches each one of its members so many important life altering lessons about their own personal development.

So many lessons can be learned and realized about: balance, flexibility, patience, discipline, and self esteem.  All KEY traits and self learned gifts that can help each member as a person, not only be a “better” person, but a “Valuable”  member of Society.

Stop by today or call us at 352-694-6304 and schedule an appointment to see how we can help you or a loved one, get ALL they can out of themselves.

Remember: “Effort is Everything”

   Well Thanksgiving has come and gone, so now its time to undo the damage right?  All that turkey, ham, stuffing, and mashed potatoes.  And let’s not forget about the pumpkin and pecan pie. 

 Man that stuff is good.  It’s really a  great thing that we only have to survive Thanksgiving and Christmas once a year isn’t it? Well, it’s not too late to get on your game plan now. 

Ocala Karate & Fitness is Ocala’s premier Martial Arts Fitness center.  Not only are we Ocala’s leader in Traditional Okinawan Shorin Ryu Karate, but we are quickly becoming one of the area’s fastest growing fitness centers. 

And in an economy like the one we’re in now, that speaks a ton for itself.  With other Martial Art schools going out of business, Ocala Karate & Fitness’s member count grows every month.  The reason we are so successful is not only our customer service, but all the unique programs that we are offering.

Starting the first of the year, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Ocala Karate & Fitness is launching another one of its “Premier” programs.  The Self Defense Black Belt Program.

This program is going to be a big hit to local community, offering not only True Street Self Defense, but a fitness program in itself.  This class has been created to allow “EVERY DAY” people to come in and learn Real Self Defense at a very rapid pace.  As a matter of fact, an average person attending two nights per week, should be able to begin defending themselves in as little as 2-3 months. 

That’s what makes this program so unique.  It was not designed for fighters.  It was designed for every day 9-5 people.  While from a distance it might appear to be MMA, it is far from it.  Rather than being MIXED martial arts, it is Integrated Martial Arts.

What does that mean?  That simply means that if it works and is very simple to use, its in there.  Not all the fancy stuff that takes years and years of dedicated practice to pull off.  This is the stuff that people can learn and pick up very quick.

How effective is it though?  These combinations of various techniques will not only have you confident in yourself, but will have others confident in you too.  So stop by Ocala Karate & Fitness and ask us about our NEW “SELF DEFENSE BLACK BELT PROGRAM” and all the amazing benefits that come along with it.  Remember, there’s a New Year just around corner.  Let us help start it off by building a New YOU ! !

   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.

   I just wanted to officially announce the start of a NEW Karate Class here at Ocala Karate & Fitness.  This new class has really got us excited and I can’t wait for opening day.  This action packed Traditional Okinawan Shorin Ryu Karate class is going to be open to members between the ages of 11 and 14 years old.  This class is guaranteed to be action packed and full of high energy explosive drills that will have Ocala Karate & Fitness’s youth program being talked about all over Ocala.  So anyone looking for the best traditional karate class geared towards 11 -14 year olds, look no further.  This is what you are looking for.  Our classes will be teaching our members not only self control, focus, balance, discipline, and getting them fit at the same time.  But also how to set attainable goals, and how to reach them.  This is what makes Karate so important to our youth today.  It teaches them, that through proper focus, and discipline, anything and all things are possible.  It is truly up to us as individuals to figure out what it is we want and how to go get it. 

     As the members train over the next few years they will then be eligible to enter into our teenage/adult class.  This class teaches the same fundamentals as the youth class, but focuses on issues and how to deal with problems that begin as we get older.  Everything from advanced street self defense, to proper health and fitness.  All this is taught and can be achieved through our many programs that we have to offer at Ocala Karate & Fitness.  From Karate to weapons, or even our new fighting fit boot camp, we will continue to work towards a better tomorrow.  Every year we are adding to our curriculum of classes to better offer Ocala a TRUE Martial Arts Fitness Center.  A fitness center that was build around the concepts and building blocks of Okinawan Karate.  If we can teach our youth from an early age to respect ourselves and take pride in who each one of is, as an individual, then tomorrow’s group of adults will be a healthier, more fit society that will continue to keep America as a world leader.  It’s up to us today though, to help make tomorrow a better place to live.  So contact us today at 352-694-6304 and let’s see what we can do to get you started.
