Well here we are wrapping up our first year at Ocala Karate & Fitness.  www.ocalakaratefitness.com Jaime and I just want to start out by thanking our members for ALL their continued support and effort that each and every one has put into our programs this year here at Ocala Karate and Fitness.  Nothing makes us happier than to see our members making huge achievements in their programs.

When I say achievements, I am referring not only to losing weight, getting stronger and more toned, or developing better balance, but being able to do things that 4-6 months ago they could not.  These are the HUGE advancements in our programs that really makes us smile.

Even though I tell our members, especially new ones, not to get disappointed if they are having trouble with certain things, I can tell after time it starts to wear on them.  But the truth is, this is each member’s unique learning curve that EVERY one of them has to go through.  Then Suddenly without warning that night comes.  Out of the blue as class starts and that particular member has got it going on!

It's hard to get it right ! !

What I mean by that is this:  Suddenly these people are moving up and down the floor with authority and purpose!  Each step is fluid with proper balance, and strength.  It’s like somebody flips the switch and all the lights come on.  There faces light up with self confidence and pride as they can feel they are doing something a little differently now.

These are the times that make it all worth while.  All the hard work and dedication.  The frustrating moments trying to get your foot in that spot, or to remember to pull the load hand back.  These are the times that make it all worth while.

To understand this feeling is something that you have to experience first hand.  That’s when you realize as a student of Karate you are making one HUGE step closer.

I had one of my 10 year old’s mother call me this morning and told me something that made me write this article tonight.  She said before he started, which was about 4 months ago, he was really quite, shy, and unsure of himself.  But suddenly over the last few months his self confidence and attitude towards things have changed 100%.

She told me that if she had known a year ago the difference and over all impact that this would have on him she would have started him then.  (Of course I wasn’t open a year ago so it must have been fate right?)  But this is just one story of many that I have heard through out the year.  It just really motivated me to write this article tonight on this subject.

So if you or your loved ones really need a self confidence booster, don’t wait around wasting any more time.  Life is much, much to short to be walking through it unhappy or insecure with your self.  And the really great thing about this is that self confidence is only ONE of the many, many things that we as students can learn from Karate.

This is because the most important thing that Okinawan Karate teaches us as individuals is how to TRULY get to know and understand OURSELVES ! !  Once you really understand who YOU are and WHAT you are, life is pretty easy.

So check us out online at www.ocalakaratefitness.com and don’t miss our NEW Self Defense class we are starting January 4th 2010.  www.ocalaselfdefense.com

Thanks again and keep up the hard work.

Self Defense Black Belt Program

    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.
