What is Cardio-Karate Fitness? 
Cardio-Karate Fitness is a fun, effective workout for men and woman combining martial arts, aerobics, cardiovascular and toning for a total body workout.  Improve your strength, muscle tone and endurance, reduce your body fat and stress, while learning self-defense techniques. Be our Guest! The first class is FREE. $70 for TEN classes - $10 at the door.

What’s the Class like? 
A typical class starts with an easy stretch and warm-up, followed by a fun aerobic workout. While you are getting into shape firming, toning, losing body fat and increasing endurance, you will learn basic martial arts self defense techniques  – kicks, punches, knees and elbows. We complete with a relaxing stretch and cool down. Let the instructor know before class if you have any sensitive areas (neck, back, knees, etc.) Exercise can be modified to accommodate your needs. For your safety, the workout is steady and at your own pace. No matter what your level of intensity (beginner, intermediate, advanced) the focus is on using your muscles (dynamic tension) to do the work, not momentum or speed.

What should I wear?
Wear comfortable exercise clothes. Karate Fitness incorporates traditional martial arts self-defense techniques and is conducted barefoot (optional). For added safety, wrist wraps and bag gloves are highly recommended. Bring a towel and a bottle of water if you like.

How Long is the Class?
The class is 60 minutes, which starts with a 5 –10 minute stretch and warm-up, followed by 40-50 minutes full body workout and strength training, ending with a relaxing 5 minute cool down.  Because attendees deserve the benefits of a complete workout, class starts promptly at 8:45am. Come a few minutes early to start warming up and get your wrist wraps on.

Can I bring my child?
Yes. For the child’s safety, children are asked not to play with any of the Dojo equipment and to stay in the front reception area (or sit and play quietly at the back) during the class. Since this is your exercise time, please encourage your child to bring books to read or toys to play with that are not disruptive. Quiet voices are appreciated, especially during the cool down. As a courtesy, food is allowed in the reception area ONLY. 

How can I get FREE classes?
Simple. Bring a friend to class for the first time, and receive a CLASS PASS that day! Is it your birthday? If so your class is on us! (On the sign-in sheet write in date followed by P, i.e. 8/16P)
