"I was skeptical, but the mental focus, discipline and self control I have gained through Christian martial arts training has given me an unbeatable 'edge' in life."
Life long health, unwavering confidence in any situation – the ability to focus and accomplish – unshakable faith.
In the next few paragraphs I'm going to tell you how you can sample all of this, and more, all at no charge.

Physical Fitness
"I need to get in shape!" Who hasn't said that? The truth is that we all want to get in better shape. As kids there were all kinds of activities to participate in. But as adults, it's really hard to get twenty people together for a spirited game of softball! Gym memberships don't seem to help, and while an aerobics class may trim a few pounds, who goes to aerobics class consistently for thirty years! The goal, after all, is not just "getting" in shape but "being" in shape...for life! Well don't despair, there is an answer and it's not only easier than you think, it's actually fun! Christian Martial Arts! Now I know what you're thinking, "What makes Martial Arts superior to any other method of achieving physical fitness?" Well to start off with, no other activity balances flexibility, strength and cardio, like Martial Arts. And what else could maintain life-long interest and constantly offer fresh new mental as well as physical challenges the way that Karate does. But don’t take my word for it, look at some of the comments from our students; and look at the history of Karate practitioners such as: Gichin Funakoshi, Founder of Shotokan and the “Father of modern Karate”. He practiced karate his entire life and wrote a totally lucid autobiography shortly before his death in 1957 at the age of 88. In the book he states his plans and goals for the next ten years of his life! Yoshio Sugihara, International head of Fushin Ryu Karate, Yokohama, Japan. At age 81 (2003) he still actively teaches and trains daily. With sharp mental faculties and physical abilities men half his age envy, he is still regularly seen holding his foot at head level while explaining what he is doing to a student. Many in this country are amazed by this. We see people in nursing homes in their 60's. But this is normal for martial artists. Now we are all going to die at our God appointed time, but martial artists tend to be strong, healthy and active until the end, as opposed to just wasting away.
The lessons allow me to focus better at work. Through the exercises I have lost 35 pounds, allowing me to feel better about myself. I truly enjoy the lessons for our character. I even use them at times in my Sunday school class. Incorporating the Bible verses in class brings me closer to the Lord.
Jerry Oppel, student/ parent, Orange Park, FL
I have found myself a lot of times in various different situations listening but not really hearing, or letting my mind wander while others are talking. Since starting AFR I make an extra effort to pay attention.
When I first started AFR I was not very confident. My confidence in myself has doubled in the last two months and I am not as self conscience and that makes me feel really good.
The lessons on self control have helped me tremendously. I think about what I say before speaking on the job and with my relationships with others.
Since starting AFR I feel I have developed a deeper relationship with God. The lessons and scriptures help me to rely on God throughout the day when I am at work, running errands and in my leisure time.
Elise M. Garnier, Adult, Jacksonville, FL
I enjoy sharing a learning experience with my children in such a peaceful and positive environment. I can almost touch my toes! If I can do that, the sky is the limit!
Dr. Cathy Herrington, (Russel Rd Animal Hospital) student/parent, Middleburg
I have trained for four years in Martial Arts of Tae Kwan Do in New Jersey, but I feel some things were missing. Since I have joined the AFR Christian Karate, I have found what I was missing. I have learned to be closer to God through some of the teachings of Shihan Cris Kolb. I have learned to improve my focus and it gave me more confidence in myself. I learned to improve my control and attitude. Through this training, my mind and body are more tuned in the ways God wants. I have lost weight and improved my strength, endurance and flexibility.

Self-Defense
Every time you turn on the television or pick up the paper it gets harder to think, "It will never happen to me". So should self-defense training be something you do regularly? The obvious answer is "yes". But we are a drive-thru society. "I don't want to spend years training to get a black belt, I just want to learn to defend myself and my family in an emergency".
Of course this thinking is flawed, but the market place is driven by demand. If someone wants to buy "instant self-defense", you can be sure there will be someone ready to sell it. Now don't get me wrong, there are simple self-defense techniques that anyone can learn quickly, but you have to ask yourself, "Will I remember and be able to pull off something I learned at a seminar a month ago if I am attacked next year?
Karate focuses on proper body mechanics so that even a small person can generate a devastating strike that will instantly end a situation. In a true "life or death" situation, isn't this, what you really want? When you begin karate lessons, your ability to defend yourself will immediately improve, and through regular training, you will gain confidence in all areas of life.
Now I still know what you're thinking: "How can I know for sure the AFR Christian Karate program will work for me? I've made it very easy for you to find out.
I have trained for years at (several other martial arts schools in the area). What you have shown me in my first month has made more of a difference in the power I have hitting my heavy bag than anything I have been taught before. Why didn't anyone else ever teach me this?
Travis Kinlaw, Duval County Sheriff's Deputy
The hour at AFR is the fastest of the day and there is never a dull moment. I am more confident in my self-defense skills because I know I can deliver powerful and effective strikes as a situation may require.
Mark Leach, student/parent, Orange Park
