What is Core Combat ?
Core Combat (TM) is a program that we at Croton Karate have been developing for over a year.  We want to offer our members (or the parents of our members) a fitness program that is powerful, intense and actually teaches striking.  Unlike many other martial-cardio programs available, each participant uses his/her own bag and does not take turns. Through the duration of the class participants will knee, strike, kick, sprawl and fight their way to fitness.  

Our program uses MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) drills along with theory from Karate and Kung Fu to provide a dynamic and challenging fitness program. 

Is Core Combat right for me?
You do not need prior martial arts experience to attend class!  Most classes are geared for women only but we are willing to open a Co-Ed class for Saturday mornings.  We offer classes five days a week in various time slots. Please check our Calendar for available time-slots.

Now that September and the new school year is here, it is important to think about choices that you make on a daily basis. You make choices regarding all aspects of your life.

It's all about being in control of what you allow in your life, who you associate with, what you read, what you watch on television and at the movies, who your mentors are, what music you listen to, what you eat, everything. This is true for adults and children.

You literally ARE your choices!

A general definition: empowerment is a process that helps people gain control over their own lives.

Therefore, empowerment is about learning there are choices, in which you have the right to be the healthiest and happiest person you can be in this now. The past is the past, and it cannot be changed; therefore, the focus is placed upon what you can do in this very moment.

What choices can you make to empower yourself NOW? Let's take a look at a list of empowerment key words:

* Self-Mastery
* Personal Development
* Positive Thinking
* Mind Power
* Self-Improvement
* Spiritual Growth
* Enlightenment
* Responsibility
* Law of Attraction
* Self-Power
* Self-Acceptance
* Self-Reliance
* Self-Esteem
* Self-Discovery
* Self-Strength
* Self-Love
* Self-Confidence
* Self-Control
* Own Choice
* Independence
* Own Decision Making
* Being Free
* Awakening
* Capability
* Choices
* Power Into Action

This is a small list, but as you can see, it's a list that outlines qualities that cannot be found outside of ourselves because empowerment comes from within.

It's about making choices that improve the quality of your life. The beauty of empowerment is the ripple effect. You lead by example, and your children are only learning and repeating what you teach them.

Lead them into empowerment.

I invite you to start today, right NOW! E-Mail us some ways that you made the right choices and chose empowerment. We would like to hear from all present and future students and parents.
