Ocala Karate & Fitness IS Ocala’s Premier Martial Arts studio
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
