So here they come. I just got all the pictures loaded from this weekends training session with Sensei Smith here at Ocala Karate & Fitness. www.ocalashinbukan.com Special thanks again to Sensei Smith for taking the time to come and share with us all that he did. Everyone had a great time and got the chance to learn about Okinawan karate and Seibukan history from an expert. Having been training is Seibukan karate for over 43 years, Sensei Dan Smith is one of the highest ranking men in Seibukan karate holding the rank of 9th dan or 9th degree black belt. Below are a few of the pictures taken during training. I will continue to post more pictured throughout the week. Thanks again to everyone who came and got to experience something truly special.

Training to get it right!

I would also like to add that all those that attended I think have a better understanding now of what Okinawan Karate can mean to an individual.  It is not only practicing self defense, but it is changing your entire out look on life in general.   Through all the drills and training, Okinawan Karate will start to not only change the way others view you, but begin to actually change the way you view yourself.  You see all these drills have a unique way of not only building stronger muscles, toning muscles, building cardio, and flexibility, but it also builds self esteem and confidence.  This is where the big changes begin to happen.  By building mental strength and confidence,  our members begin to carry themselves better.  They begin to change all the little things.  Walk with confidence.  Talk with confidence.  Move with direction and focus. And just as importantly, they begin to take pride in their art.  This is what Seibukan Karate also is about.  Making ourselves stronger from the “INSIDE” out.   I hope everyone is having as much fun in their training as I am.  I’m also excited to to say that here over the next 60 days we will be launching our Intermediate/advanced Karate Classes.

Can’t wait to see everyone on the floor tonight!

It's all about the PUNCH !

Hello everyone. First off I just want to mention how excited both Jaime and I are about how supportive all of our members are here at Ocala Karate & Fitness.

Real Training, for REAL Self Defense

When Jaime and I decided to open the studio last January, we were really nervous with the economy being what it was, and people cutting back on activities. Well the old saying of always follow your heart and you will always succeed could not have been more true.
Here we are now with one of the fastest growing martial arts studio’s in town. I’ve watched with sadness, so many schools shut down and go out of business over the last year and I just really want to say thanks again for all of our members continued support in our programs.
Last night in our Self Defense, I was really starting to see our members progress. Last nights drills were a ton of FUN to watch, because the drills are now starting to set in. THAT is what our training is all about! Being better than we were last week. And the really cool part is, members are not only losing weight, getting stronger,faster, and well balanced. They are having fun while they are doing it.
THAT is what leads to success. I’d just like to say how proud I am of everyone giving 110% in our programs.
A very wise man once told me “It’s a whole lot easier to find something easier to do.”
Remember that and you guys and gals will always end up on TOP.
Thanks for reading and until next time.

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.

    Ocala Karate & Fitness is celebrating its 1 year anniversary next month and would like to thank all of our members for making this possible.  Not only has it been one of the best years of our lives, but we’ve gotten to meet and make many, many new friends this year.

   Launching our new Self Defense Class has been an instant smash hit as we move into the end of January.  This fast paced, skill conditioning class is designed to have everyday people up and moving around with confidence and skill, but will sharpen any one’s skills who are in Law Enforcement, Security, or anything else of that nature. 

  All it takes is one class, www.ocalaselfdefense.comand you will see first hand all the benefits and skills that can be not only learned, but incorporated into your everyday life.  These are skills that not only will make you feel safer, but have everyone around you feeling safer too.  Ocala Karate & Fitness is Ocala’s ONLY licensed and Certified Self Defense Black Belt Program, so don’t waste anymore time wondering  just how much you could benefit from this class.  MAKE the choice, call us at 352-694-6304 and schedule your FREE class to try out.

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.

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
