Fighting Fit Boot Camp will get you in shape FAST !

Ocala Karate & Fitness is proud  to announce that we will be launching our next Fighting Fit Boot Camp in May 2010.  That’s only a month and a half away, so anyone and everyone that is REALLY looking to lose weight, tone up, and just get FIT for the summer this is your ticket! !

Ocala Karate & Fitness, www.ocalashinbukan.com is Ocala’s ONLY Licensed and Certified Fighting fit Boot Camp Facility.  www.ocalabootcamp.com

This class is going to be a 6 week revolving program that will not only melt those inches away, but will also tone those hard to hit areas and have everyone looking their best for summer.  I think we’ve seen the last of our cold weather here, so the Spring is right around the corner.

For those of you familiar with Ocala Karate & Fitness’s Cardio Kickboxing class, the Fighting Fit Boot Camp will be similar, but much different.  This class is going to be centered around a combination of Cardio, plyometric, strength training, and running routines that will have you not only looking your best, but feeling your best.  The first week will have weigh ins, body comp tests, and include a nutritional guide to help all of our boot campers hit all their goals.  This unique camp utilizes many of the drills and combination’s that Professional fighters use to get themselves into the best physical condition possible.  Minus the hard core sparring drills of course.

So get in touch with us today to reserve your spot in the Ocala Karate & Fitness’s Fight Fit Boot Camp.  Remember, once Boot Camp starts you have to wait until the end of the 6 week cycle to join in.  Call us now for more information at 352-694-6304.

  Just wanted to let everyone know how well everything is going for us here at ocala karate & fitness in 2010.  We continue to grow every month and our classes are really starting to fill up now.  I think that in today’s time this speaks loudly as to what all Ocala Karate & Fitness has to offer to its members.

  We consider ourselves to be Ocala’s leader in the Martial Arts  for several reasons:

1. We offer More for the dollar than any other school in Ocala.  Here at Ocala Karate & Fitness our members have access to not only Okinawan Karate, but many other classes including:

• Cardio Kickboxing
• Real ” Street Self Defense”
• Okinawan Weapons

 Our members have the ability to train in such a wide variety of classes that ALL focus on Fitness, balance, discipline, cardio, self confidence, and so many more positive benefits.  Ocala Karate & Fitness www.ocalashinbukan.com  is doing its best to give Ocala a true doorway into not only a healthier life, but a positive get away from life.  3-4 classes per week where once you enter the door you can leave the rest of the world outside. 

    This is why we have been able to grow and put into place all the great programs that we now have to offer.  www.ocalaselfdefense.com  Ocala Karate & Fitness provides a training atmosphere that everyone can enjoy doing what ever program they have enrolled in, and have fun too.  All of our classes are fast paced, exciting workouts that allow our members to push themselves and each other in the same direction.  And that is to a better YOU. 

  Our classes are Monday thru Thurs and begin at 5:00.  So whether you are looking to get in shape, get better control over yourself, or build more self confidence, we have the solution for you. 

Stop by and see us!

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.

   Give us a call at 352-694-6304 and come see how we can make you “better” than you ever thought possible.  www.ocalaselfdefense.com 

                                                                                                                            See everyone next week

                                                                                                                    Have a Great Weekend

                                                                                                             Robby and Jaime Bray

Here we are winding he first week of 2010 down and logging it into the books and Ocala Karate & Fitness couldn’t be happier starting the New Year out running full sprint. We are Ocala’s Premier Karate/Martial Arts School and our really excited about all our programs this year.

And our new Street Self Defense Class, SDBBP, couldn’t have been any better.  We had a full class and everyone got exactly what they were looking for.  This 1 hour high energy class not only teaches all the basic skills needed to be able to defend yourself if ever needed, but also gets you in shape and fit at the same time.

You see, what most people fail to realize is that if you just show up for a 1 week course or something and learn a few basic things to do if anything were to ever happen to you, without training your whole body how to react efficiently, your really not getting anywhere.

Our unique curriculum has been developed with this in mind.  We train the body to react quickly, and strongly, to allow our members to benefit most from this.

And remember. . .  This is NOT MMA.  This is a Self Defense Class.  Do not confuse the two with one another.

Talk about a workout too.  I have to admit my shoulders and arms are a little tight after all the punching combination’s we went through with our partner drills.  These drills are once again easy and very straight forward to do. 

Once again they have been designed for normal everyday 9-5 people, mom’s and dad’s, grampa’s and grand ma’s that are really looking to get into shape and feel safe.  Especially in today’s world, you don’t have to flip very far on the LOCAL news to hear about some brutal, violent crime taking place.

From random assaults, to forced entry, today’s world is really getting crazy and we as a people need to be able to defend ourselves and not be prayed upon.  That’s what the SDBBP program at OCala Karate & Fitness is ALL ABOUT !

Making everyone safer and more secure.

C'mon Fellas It's a lot of FUN !

The other thing is the overall STRESS release that this class gives is phenomenal.  Everyone left both classes sweating, but smiling ear to ear.  This class is a fully accredited and licensed SDBBP school, so Ocala Karate & Fitness is the only place in town that you will be able to find this program.   www.ocalaselfdefense.com.

If this type of class is something you have always been interested in or wanted to try, don’t wait any longer.  We’re starting out 2010 now, so why not make a change for the New Year that you can really, really benefit from.

For more information call 352-694-6304

Until next time

See you on the floor

     Well tonight was Ocala Karate & Fitness’s last Kids Karate Class and Our last Adults Karate and Okinawan Weapons class until Jan 3rd.  I would like to start off by saying  just how proud of everyone I am right now.  The accomplishments and personal achievements that our members have made this year is something to really take pride in. 

    All the hard work and drills are really starting to pay off now.  I am watching our members in class do things now that 3 and 4 months ago were totally unobtainable.  This is when you know that we’re doing something right.  The combination of our Shorin Ryu Karate classes, accompanied by the Cardio Fitness classes is not only getting our members in shape, but strengthening all the areas that matter most.  In the last week I have had two separate members come up to me after class and say that they no longer have any back pain. 

    I’ve had another tell me that over the last 10 years they have had terrible chronic neck pain and limited range of motion.  Now, she says that for the first time in as long as she can remember her neck does not hurt or feels stiff when she turns.  This is what Okinawan Karate is all about.  It’s about not only strengthening our bodies, but building strong posture and alignment.  The motions and postures or stances that our Karate was built around was designed for this very purpose. 

To allow us as practitioners to live long and healthy lives.  By building strength around our spine and core, it develops or re-develops our bodies in ways that allows us to benefit the most.  And these are just the things our members are noticing over the SHORT term.  We have not even been open a year yet, so these our members that have only been training for less than 12 months.  Imagine what you would feel like if you practice for say 3 years.  Or 5 years.  Or better yet, an entire LIFETIME. 

    This is what Karate is really about.  Not only learning how to defend yourself against physical attacks, but to defend yourself against life itself.  The longer you train and practice, the more you realize you need to practice.  It is a very humbling but at the same time enlightening experience.  So start your NEW YEAR off right and give us a call at Ocala Karate & Fitness or check us out on the web at www.ocalakaratefitness.com  and see for yourself why everyone is saying that we are Ocala’s Premier martial arts studio.  

  Stop by and see for yourself what we can do to help you.

    Happy Holidays from all of us.

   Sincerely

  Robby and Jaime Bray

Stop by and see us!
