Will Jones, proprietor of Lion Martial Arts, has a lot to be excited about.
\nNot only has Jones moved his Lion Martial Arts School to a new location, but he has also expanded the training programs.
\n\u201cLion Martial Arts School is Tyrone owned and operated for nine years as a business,\u201d explained Jones.
\nThe school was previously located at 1606 Columbia Avenue, and Jones has since moved it to a much larger facility at 1002 Logan Avenue, Tyrone.
\nJones now features two separate training programs, the martial aerobics and fitness program and the combat martial arts program.
\nThe martial aerobics and fitness program includes many fitness routines combined into one class. Jones incorporates aerobics, resistance training and yoga to the program as well as added a martial arts touch with kickboxing.
\n \u201cI\u2019m pretty excited about that,\u201d Jones added about the martial aerobics and fitness program. \u201cWe\u2019ve had some pretty dramatic results with the people. Some have dropped four dress sizes in a month.\u201d
\nJones accepts students for the martial aerobics and fitness program from ten-years-of-age and up.
\nMartial aerobics and fitness is scheduled for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 5 to 6 p.m.
\nAnother training program Jones instructs at the new location is combat martial arts.
\nThe program is based on Bruce Lee\u2019s Jeet Kune Do.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s non-traditional,\u201d explained Jones. \u201cThere\u2019s no traditional stances. It\u2019s all reality-based self-defense.\u201d
\nThe program is multi-range and addresses long range, mid-range and close-range fighting skills.
\nJones accepts students for the combat martial arts from seven-years-old and up.
\nCombat martial arts is scheduled for Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m.
\nJones said he is always taking new students, and for more information, individuals may call 684-LION.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
