Good Times
I’d just like to start off by saying that I really hope everyone is enjoying themselves as much as I am. Ocala Karate & Fitness www.ocalashinbukan.com has turned out to be one of the best experiences in my life. Rolling into the second half of our second year open, I can’t express with words what the dojo has accomplished and the plans that I have in place for where we are all going. I am really excited about the fact that starting in September, we will be opening a Intermediate/advanced Adult Karate class. This is really going to be fun now. Ocala Karate & Fitness is just now getting its first wave of graduating beginner students into the intermediate level stage of their training.
These classes are going to not only be faster paced, but the difficulty level skill wise is going to jump substantially. Remember me saying at one time that Ocala Karate & Fitness continues to push its members everyday, every month, and every year. Well this is where a “BIG” push comes into play. And all of these graduating members are ready. Their basic fundamentals, which are the building blocks to “Karate” are all strong.
Also due to the overwhelming number of new members that has allowed us to grow so fast, we will be opening up another children class, and juniors class. All of this will be happening over the next 60 days so be sure to stay tuned for updates on times and schedule.
Ryukyu Kobudo Tesshinkan "Philosophy of the heart"
Another SPECIAL thanks to our Ryukyu Kobudo members. You guys are doing AWESOME ! By now most of you will agree that the Kobudo class is probably the most difficult and challenging class of all at Ocala Karate & Fitness. Having said that, I would like to remind everyone that membership into the Kobudo class (Ocala Tesshinkan) is by invitation only. In order to qualify for membership the following must now be met prior to invitation.
1. Must hold at least Orange Belt Level and be at least 13 years of age.
2. Must demonstrate the ability to “REALLY” push yourself and excel.
3. Must attend at least 6 Ryukyu Kobudo classes per month.
4. Must demonstrate exceptional control and Attitude.
When an Ocala Karate & Fitness member meets all these prerequisites, membership into the Ocala Tesshinkan will be reviewed. Acceptance into the organization will lead to a path that most Martial Artists NEVER get to experience. I truly encourage all of our members to try and make it into the Ocala Tesshinkan.
Have a great weekend and we’ll see everyone next week.
