Ocala Karate and Fitness

Posts Tagged ‘Street Self Defense’

  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

  What a blast we all had tonight in the Self Defense class here at Ocala Karate & Fitness.  www.ocalaselfdefense.com.  Closing out week #2 in the new Street Self Defense class went really smooth.  All of our members are picking up the basic drills very easily, which proves that this New Self Defense Program really does WORK. 

   Having been designed to accommodate the every day person, this class takes this highly effective, yet easy to learn program and will have just about anyone, any make, any model, up on the feet and able to protect themselves in just a few short weeks.  This week we have been covering punching combinations ranging from jab/cross, jab/cross/hook, and cross/hook/cross.  Choke defense, standing up from the ground, and a few other really beneficial drills were touched on the surface.

    Remember that this is only week #2 so as the class moves on and builds, the material transitions from learning basic striking and counters, to full on assaults.  This program was built with progression in mind.  Are members will be utilizing their shin guards, and head gear in the next several weeks as push into more advanced, and REAL situation defense.

    When you talk about Self Defense we must remember that “nothing” is written in stone and “nothing” is 100%.  That’s why we have got to train are members to be able to defend themselves from just about any situation conceivable.  The only way to be prepared, is to be BEST prepared.  This class is a very fast paced workout too, with lots of striking combinations with our partners using focus mitts and other targets.  I tell all our members that one of the most important things ANY Self Defense Class can teach is how to REALLY be able to hit someone.  I mean let’s face it.  If you trying to learn Self Defense because you really want to be able to defend yourself, you had better be able to hit some one.  Otherwise you are really wasting your time.

How to hit, and how to hit HARD !!

  Ocala Karate & Fitness, www.ocalashinbukan.com  is Ocala’s Premier Self Defense School and our members are living proof of this.  Feel free to stop by anytime and watch, or if you would like to jump in and try a class out for FREE, you are more than welcome to.  What have you got to lose with an offer like that.  So give us a call at 352-694-6304 and ask for Robby or Jaime to get class times and any other information you might need.

                                 Until next week, everyone have a safe weekend and rest up for Tuesday.

              The class is ratcheted up again! !   www.ocalaselfdefense.com

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.

Until next time

See you on the floor

Robby Bray

  Alright everyone,

   We’re halfway through the first week at Ocala Karate & Fitness and we are starting 2010 out with a bang!  We’re as pumped up as all of our members going full tilt into the New Year.  Every one’s a little sore this week after taking the Holiday off, but its all part of the journey.  It’s always good when you look around the class and everyone is groaning and laughing together.  It’s what really makes you feel alive.  It’s like I tell all the members . . . ” Anyone can sit home on the couch and stare blankly into the TV.   But NOT everyone has the motivation to make a huge difference in their lives and get out on the Dojo floor and work out.”

     Besides, in today’s world everyone has DVR’s and Tivo so you can always watch it when you get home, AFTER you work out.  Trust me on this one, you’ll thank me for the advise in a few years.  We’re reved up and excited about the HUGE year we have coming up.  The new Self Defense Class, www.ocalaselfdefense.com , 5 days per week of Cardio Class, and 4 days per week of Karate.  What more could you ask for? 

  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.

Well 2009 is officially over, and its freezing cold outside right now.  Last night was no exception, as I think the Temperature got down to around 27 degrees last night.  Now that’s cold! !  But, one place in town it wasn’t cold was here at Ocala Karate & Fitness.  Last night marked the first class of 2010 and man did we go at it full speed ! !

All the classes were full last night as everyone poured in from their Christmas break, just itching to get back to business.  And that’s exactly what we did.  It didn’t take long at all to get every one’s heart rates up and respiration’s going.  After a nice, long over due stretch, we jumped into our basic punches, kicks, strikes, blocks, and combinations with an intensity that made me smile.

Everyone was going full tilt last night.  It was great to see everyone make it back to class and we have many, many New Faces on the floor starting the New Year of 2010 out.  All of our newest members are quickly finding out just why Ocala Karate & Fitness, www.ocalakaratefitness.com, is Ocala’s Premier Martial Arts school.  We offer more classes and a totally rounded program that will meet and exceed any one’s expectations.

Get Confident AND Fit ! !

From our Karate Classes, to our Cardio Kickboxing Circuit Training Classes, or even our New Street Self Defense Class that starts Tuesday Jan 5th 2010 at 7:00.  This new class is centered around developing the average person’s motor sensory skills and reflex’s to react and be able to properly defend that person in just about every situation conceivable.  www.ocalaselfdefense.com

This is a very serious class for adults only, that really want to make a change in their lives that will better prepare them for just about anything.  Just one more reason why Ocala Karate & Fitness is helping to make Ocala a better place to live.

Get in Shape and Learn to Protect Yourself ! !

Now this is FUN ! !

This is what it’s all about.  Classes here at Ocala Karate & Fitness are not only exciting high energy classes, but so much fun at the same time.  I think you could ask any of our members here just how great of a time they have, and how do they actually learn, and all would tell you with big smile.  A LOT ! !

    And honestly, the big smile speaks more than anything else.  That’s why we’re growing, and growing, and growing.   As more people are finding out about us here and what we are doing www.ocalakaratefitness.com , our student base continues to grow every month.

   When we first started our youth class, ages 10-13, 2 months ago we only had 4 members in the class.  As of last night we now have 10, and 3 more are joining classes the first of the year.  Why I think we are doing so well here is because we are giving everyone exactly what they want.  1.  REAL KARATE.  Not after school day care, where the kids play games.  We are teaching them REAL life building skills which include but are not limited to: Balance, coordination, strength, flexibility, confidence, stamina, focus, and the list can go on and on. 

    Wrapping up the 2009, Ocala Karate and Fitness will be closed from the 17th until Jan 3rd.  We will be taking phone calls though and answering any questions anyone might have about 1 or all of the many programs that we have to offer here.  So don’t hesitate to call us at 352-694-6304 or email us so we can get you started the first week of the New Year. 

    Also new in 2010, Ocala Karate & Fitness is showing once again why we are Ocala’s Premier Martial Arts School by kicking the year off with our Self DefenseProgram.  This new program is a non traditional class that deals with only REAL Street Self Defense situations.  It’s easy to learn curriculum makes it a great class for beginners off the street that REALLY want to learn how to protect themselves.  www.ocalaselfdefense.com  So check out the website and see for yourself why we are expecting this class to fill up very quickly, and be one of our most popular programs. 

    So do the research over the Christmas break and start the Year of 2010 off right at Ocala Karate & Fitness.  We ARE Building a Better Tomorrow . . . Today.

   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 ! !
