Benefits of Working Out in the Martial Arts

4/2/2018

We all know working out is healthy for us in terms of physical health, but it is great for mental health as well.

Physical exercise helps relieve stress, which is extremely important when it comes to overall health. There are many different martial arts to choose from.

Of course Tai Chi vs MMA are crazy different. But that’s the beauty of it. There are martial arts for everyone at all Fitness levels.

Explore some of the martial art and MMA classes we have. At Rochester Phoenix Martial Arts we have Aikido, which is non competitive and low impact. We also have BJJ and Kickboxing, which are great for fitness and MMA style training.

Check us out! 18 Cobbs Hill Drive, Rochester NY 14610. Call or text 585-354-8946

Finding Health and Fitness in the Martial Arts

3/26/2018

In some ways Rochester has made it easy to stay fit. Almost every major suburb has a Planet Fitness or LA Fitness. These gyms offer flexibility with 24 hour fitness, as well as workout classes like Pilates.

However, I urge people looking to improve their health and fitness to also consider martial arts classes.

Almost every class will have cardio and strength training worked into it. Many people are surprised at how much exercise is involved. While you’re working out you’ll also be learning how to defend yourself. Martial arts also teach body awareness, flexibility, and perseverance.

Wondering how to lose weight? Instead of going to the gym stop in and try a kickboxing, BJJ, Judo, or Aikido class!

Come visit us. We’re located right by Cobbs Hill Park. 18 Cobbs Hill Drive, Rochester NY 14610. Shoot us a text at 585-354-8946

Looking for a Gym?

3/21/2018

Lots of people are looking for gyms and a way to workout. Staying fit, managing weight, and overall being healthy are so important.

But the gym isn’t for everyone. Doing the same exercise day after day gets boring fast.

Martial arts offer an engaging way to get lifetime fitness. Instead of going to the gym and hitting the treadmill or weight bench, try a martial arts class. You’ll learn new skills that are very useful and important. Such as self defense and stress management.

I’ve done both. Back when I was in my late teens I explored some gyms near me, but training in Karate at the time was so much more engaging. Thanks to Martial Arts I’ve been able to stay active and fit, I look forward to my workout each night.

Instead of the gym, try out a kickboxing, BJJ, Judo, or Aikido class! 💪🥋🔥

Community Roll

1/29/2018

We had an awesome time at the Community Roll this month! For those who aren't familiar, a community roll is when a bunch of different Jiu Jitsu schools get together and spar. It allows you to go with a whole bunch of different people and practice your skills with new partners. Overall, it's an amazing gathering of martial artists who have a mutual love and respect for the art. I can't wait to do it again!
