Weight Loss and Diets

Stay away from Diets!  Your body is smarter than you think.

You know already that your body is highly adaptable.  You have abused it many times but somehow it continues to work.  It wants to keep you alive but you do everything to kill it.

Diet is deprivation.  Your body will not be fooled by your reduction of calories.  It will just go into conservation mode.  Remember the body will respond positively to work and not deprivation.  So work it, the answer is simple. Enroll in a Martial Art Program and exercise.  Why Martial Arts, because it works all aspects; flexibility, strength, aerobic conditioning, and most important the mind (stress).

Am I too old to get back into shape?


NO. is the simple answer. I have had students both private and group with differing abilities when they first come to train at Oriental Sports Academy. All have different needs and wants when it comes to getting back into shape. Age has nothing to do with the ability to return to a healthy lifestyle.

Convincing yourself that you want to feel better and then finding a proficient teacher that can address both the mental and physical parts of training. Half of my effort is motivating the student to get them through the very difficult beginning stage. Once the student gains confidence, the physical component needs to be catered to the needs of the individual.

I begin by developing functional fitness. That means having the strength to do everyday activities without pain. Then we start developing the athletic body which for every student is different depending on their interest.

I have had 76 year old women, quadriplegic's, students with Downs Syndrome, and the blind. All have learned and gained from training.

The glitz is less important than the content of the Master Instructor.
