Mind & Body

"Synchronizing mind and body is not a concept or random technique someone thought up for self-improvement. Rather, it is a basic principle of how to be a human being."

Fighting fatigue with metabolic conditioning.

Want to take your fitness up to the next level? Are you getting winded after a long sparring class?

Quantum's Martial Arts Conditioning class:
Thursdays at 7pm.
In this one hour class you will do individual and partner drills that work in intervals. Alternating between carido and strength training routines, you will improve your endurance, get stronger, and have fun.
The class is fast paced and the exercises are challenging but they can be modified for all fitness levels. Dress is casual.
This thursday, as a added bonus I will be making post workout protein shakes for everyone that comes. You get a choice of banana-strawberry or Chocolate-peanut butter.

High red belt test.

Kids Test - April 30th

Quantum's mini-martial artists are gearing up for a rockin test in 10 days.
The kid's test is April 30th. We expect kids from all colors to be testing so we will have a 9 AM start time for about a 15 minute warm up. We expect the white and yellow belts to be showing us their skills starting at about 9:15 and the green and blue kids to start around 10:00 (give or take 10 mintues or so). The goal is to be done at noon, but we may run a bit over. We prefer that all kids stay for the whole test but parents, please let us know if you have scheduling restrictions.
We are planning the next kid test after this on June 25th so please mark your calenars for that day as well.
Thanks everyone!
