This group now constitutes the fastest growing segment of our population. We live in a time that is incredibly exciting for these individuals. At present, medical knowledge is doubling every three years. Research on anti-aging has brought about a profound understanding of the aging process that, for the first time, gives us a choice as to how we age. Expanded knowledge of nutrition, hormone replacement therapy, and environmental hazards has given us a means to retard and actually reverse the negative effects of aging.

Specialist in Martial Arts Conditioning (SMAC)Non-Trainer Price: $495.00SMAC Course Back in the "old days", promotion to black belt was all that was needed in terms of securing credibility in the martial arts profession.

Specialist in Performance Nutritiuon (SPN)Non-Trainer Price: $550.00SPN Course We've all heard that "You are what you eat." But this tired axiom only tells part of the story. It's also critical to consider HOW you eat, meal frequency, macronutrient ratios, specificity to athletic objectives, and periodizing caloric intake. The government says that the RDA's are the answer. We agree, if mere survival is your objective. But if PERFORMANCE is your goal (or your client's), the RDA's won't cut it. Neither will the 4 food groups. Neither will eating 3 squares a day.
