Losing weight takes a lot of time, energy, and will to get that perfect weight and figure you’ve always dreamed of. But before going to the proper step-by-step how-to’s, let us first warm our minds up on the right information about this weight loss and fitness stuff.

Health is Wealth

Being wealthy is neither about acquiring all the riches in the world nor getting whatever you want with just a snap of the fingers. It’s more about investing something from an earlier period of your life and being able to continuously use it perfectly until you grow old. No material thing can be such an investment because one day they come, and before you know it, they go. For instance, the money you earn today may be the car you’ll be driving tomorrow. But automobiles don’t last that long either; sooner or later, their parts will get rusty until they become broken and useless in time.

The real richness in this world is being happy – being able to do what you want to do, when you want to do it.   It makes no sense to achieve happiness and success if you’re not healthy and fit.

Healthy People

People who are considered “healthy” are those who are physically and mentally fit. Our programs will get you fit physically and mentally, but we’ll get back to that in a sec. Physical fitness is the ability of the human body to function with vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue, and with ample energy to engage in leisure activities, and to meet physical stresses. Muscular strength, endurance, stamina, and general alertness are the overt signs of being physically fit. Martial arts training sharpens these qualities.

Your level of physical fitness can be influenced by regular, systematic exercise and proper nutrition. Regular is key. Our classes enable our students to develop discipline through routine and support. Moderate activity in between classes will maintain you at a level that is usually adequate to handle ordinary stress, while right diet affects energy expenditure. Overweight, underweight, and weak individuals have low fitness levels.

On the other hand, mental fitness refers to the psychological state of well-being, characterized by continuing personal growth, a sense of purpose in life, self-acceptance, and positive relations with others. As you focus on your martial arts training, challenge yourself to break out of your comfort zone and meet new friends you “stretch your mental toughness.”

The great thing about training at Empire Martial Arts is you get the best of both worlds.

Now all you  you have to do is take action and see it for yourself.

In the book “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” by Lewis Carroll, Alice comes to a fork in the road. Having no idea which fork to take, she encounters the Cheshire Cat, who asks Alice where she wants to end up.

Alice answers that she has no idea where she’s going, to which the Cheshire Car replies, “In that case, either fork will do.”

The lesson is…when there is a goal in mind your chances of success are increased dramatically. With no goal you just sort of wonder around in no real direction!

Try one of our training programs and you will see,  It is an awesome training ground for success in life!

Team Empire was not only the loudest and biggest but most importantly the most professional. I was proud of everyone and how they represented our TEAM. I received many comments from the promoters, spectators as well as some other fighters.

This was the MMA debuts of both Bob Cable and Kevin Leonard. Kevin had an awesome training camp in preparation for his debut. While Bob stepped up on Wednesday and accepted the challenge as a last minute replacement.

Fight one was Bob Cable. Bob showed the heart of a true warrior and Mike and I were very proud to be in his corner. Bob started the fight with a few combos but was caught with a kick that knocked him down, his opponent transitioned to back control, got his hooks in and had a full Rear naked choke.

Bob escaped the choke, which was just AWESOME, Mike, myself and TEAM EMPIRE went nuts. Bob got to his feet and dropped his opponent with a sweet right cross, started to ground and pound and in that process was caught and submitted with a triangle choke. Congratulations to his opponent and I look forward to having a full training camp for Bob’s next fight.

Fight 2: Saw Kevin “SWEET DREAMS” Leonard live up to his name. He put on an impressive display of striking. Kevin worked combos, kicks and some wicked knees from clinch.

Kevin fought 3 rounds and won a unanimous decision. Each round Kevin completely dominated his opponent.

Solid fundamentals combined with the proper training camp of physical conditioning and the mental game showed. I am very proud of Kevin and also want to thank all his sparring partners for their help. We couldn’t have done it without you.

I was proud of both these Warriors and was honored of how they represented Team Empire. This event is just a small part of what Team Empire represents.

The support and camaraderie that you all show weekly in class is truly what TEAM EMPIRE is and I am honored to have you as a Team member. Thank you for your support.

I’d like you to join me in battle.

You see, even in today’s “civilized” society…there is still an enemy pursuing you.

But it’s not like the old days, when the bear would come down from the mountain and try to eat you.

Even though “civilization” has driven away the “actual” bear…today’s “bear” is just as ferocious…just as hungry…and a lot trickier.

Let me explain.  Have you ever found yourself asking:

“I’m successful…why don’t I have the peace of mind –  the satisfaction — I thought I would have at this point in my life?”

“Have I become ‘soft’ — the victim of a sedentary ‘couch potato’ lifestyle?”

“Have I lost the edge, the fire, the passion I had a few years back?”

Here’s the problem:  The same civilization that protected us from “the bear” has also created a different type of  “bear”…just as hungry, and a lot trickier. It’s called STRESS…and you may have seen its ugly “tracks” near your home:

For example, have you experienced:

a lack of energy…a sense of fatigue that prevents you from doing the things you enjoy?

boredom — a feeling that life has lost its excitement?

frustration…a lack of patience…a feeling that time is slipping through your hands?

And, most dangerously…a gut feeling that somehow you have lost control?

I am writing to you — as one professional to another — with an important message:

It doesn’t have to be that way.  The Stress-Free, Confident Lifestyle is yours for the taking! And it’s a lot easier than you think.

Imagine the confidence and the peace of mind you would have if you knew:

the principles of stress reduction…your “key” to inner peace!

the “secret” to smashing self-imposed barriers

the self-defense skills necessary to protect yourself and your family
