Alright gentlemen, step away from the computer, this party is for the ladies only. KnuckleUp is hosting an entire afternoon of health and fitness activities aimed at women. It's going to be a great time, and a great way to set a great tone for 2012!

New Year Resolved

Every year people make New Year's resolutions to get fit and eat healthy, and probably more than a few of you reading this now did the same thing. But making a resolution is the easy part. Trying to actually live by it is a lot harder! So Amanda and Jordyn have decided to put together various activities to help you learn to live a healthier lifestyle.

Amanda and Jordyn will be hosting the event, and there's more than a few things to get into. Amanda has been doing a great job teaching the cardio kickboxing classes, and Jordyn has finally brought Zumba to our humble gym. Between the two of them, there isn't a much faster way to get in shape. 

Whole Host of Activities

And while the festivities do begin with a kickboxing class, followed by Zumba, there's oh so much more! In all, Amanda and Jordyn will be hosting:

• Cardio Kickboxing
• Zumba
• Strength and Training
• Healthy Cooking Demo by Mike Mazza
• Health and Wellness Seminar
• Refreshments
• Prizes and Giveaways!

Oh, yeah, the prizes and giveaways. Nearly every salon and spa on the Outer Banks, plus a few others, has donated something for the drawings, and you'll have chances to win things throughout the day. We'll have gifts from Hairoics, Reflections, Planet Pleasing Goods, Style Divita, Diamonds & Dunes, Lotus Spa, and more! And all donations will go to support the Outer Banks Mommy & Me! 

So what are you waiting for? It's all happening this Saturday, January 21, from 12-5.  So get your tickets now! They're only $20, but get them quick because space is limited and quite a few people have already signed up!

Don't miss your chance to start the new year right with the best place for fitness on the Outer Banks!

Our new head instructor Chris Stolzman brought with him a ton of videos of his KnuckleUp Fitness' original instructor master Kazeka Muniz - and we're very proud to post them here.

The videos will be available free either here or on KnuckleUp OBX YouTube channel.

On the first video, master Kazeka shows a fundamental Brazilian Jiu Jitsu movement called the Grambi Roll:

On the second video, master Muniz demonstrates the famous Mata Leao choke (the rear naked choke):

We sincerely hope you enjoy the videos - they'll be here for everybody - members and non-members.

If you really like them, leave a comment. We always appreciate the feedback!

See you soon.

Dave's Genesis Tattoo Shop in Collington

On our first Instructor Spotlight, we'll talk a little about Dave Bein, creator of Genesis Tattoo.

Dave Bein goes beyond the definition of a well-rounded guy; he's an extremely gifted tattoo artist, a huge fan of martial arts (he's got a black belt in Karate from his father, who was a Chuck Norris student!), a KnuckleUp instructor,  and a darn-good graphic designer on his spare time.

Dave's history with Martial Arts and fitness began when he was a child, and his dad (freaking Chuck Norris' student) taught him Karate. By age 19, he had already trained Judo, Boxing, and Jiu Jitsu, and was involved with the so-called NHB fighting (No-Holds-Barred, previous to the MMA scene).

Dave And The OBX Gym

KnuckleUp is honored to have Dave teaching special Kickboxing classes, and when his schedule allows, sparring on the ring with the students. With the opening of the brand new Genesis Tattoo location, however, Dave has been away from the gym, which we hope will change soon.

His entrepreneurial, multi-faceted character brings an unique approach to the fitness program at KnuckleUp, and completes a team of highly qualified instructors unlike any other gym's.

We shot a couple of videos of Dave's place so check it out:
