What is Tae BoŽ Fitness? Tae BoŽ Fitness is an exercise that teaches a person how to communicate with their body. It teaches how the mind should operate with the spirit, in which God has blessed us. By the mind working with the spirit one can learn how the body mechanics operate. Tae BoŽ Fitness is a program that combines the best of a variety of different exercise disciplines to provide an overall workout. It is the combination of self-awareness and control of martial arts, the focus and strength of boxing, and the grace and rhythm of dance. |
What is the History of Tae BoŽ Fitness? Tae BoŽ Fitness was developed around 1976, by accident when Billy Blanks was working out in his basement. When training, using the classic techniques from boxing and martial arts, he turned on the original "Rocky" theme song and started punching and kicking to the beat. Within 10 minutes he was exhausted. He then realized if he was tired, being one who works out for hours at a time 7 days a week, he was definitely on to something. Thus Tae BoŽ Fitness was born. Tae BoŽ Fitness was first offered in Boston in 1982. In 1989, the program was moved to California where Billy & Shellie (his daughter) started teaching, first, out of a garage before relocating to their first brick and mortar studio in the Los Angeles area. Tae BoŽ Fitness has been evolving ever since and when the first Tae BoŽ Fitness workout video was released in 1998, it has since become an international phenomenon. |
What Makes Tae BoŽ Fitness Different? Martial arts and boxing develop strength, speed, balance, and awareness. The dance moves give the workout energy and rhythm that improves coordination as well as providing great strength training for the heart. Tae BoŽ Fitness is also much more than martial arts, boxing and dancing. Tae BoŽ Fitness trains you to respond mentally and physically with speed and accuracy. By using Tae BoŽ Fitness philosophy and techniques (punching and kicking), you'll discover how powerful your body is and how to use it to defend yourself. Although we hope you never get into a situation where you have to call upon these skills, a key to self-awareness is knowing that anything can happen and one should always be prepared for the unexpected. Practicing Tae BoŽ Fitness will provide you with technical skills, quick reflexes, self-awareness and confidence that can prepare someone should they ever enter into a bad situation. Tae BoŽ Fitness is your ultimate fitness protection program. Tae BoŽ Fitness was also the first program to incorporate the "Mind, Body, Spirit" philosophy that you see so prevalent in most workout programs today and one of the main reasons why Tae BoŽ Fitness has been so successful and continues to thrive for over a decade. Imitation is the best form of flattery. It's cornerstone philosophy of focusing on building the "inside you" and the outside will automatically follow has not only helped millions around the world lose thousands of pounds but, more importantly, help change the self esteem from those that felt inferior to those that can overcome. This is why we do what we do. This is what makes it all worth while. And once you experience that joy, you'll never want to do anything else! |
