I’m sure you’ve heard that the best way to lose weight is diet and exercise: You need to control what you eat (but not necessarily “go on a diet”), and you need to exercise.
The secret the multi-billion dollar weight loss industry doesn’t want you to know is that all their diets with the clever, catchy names are designed to make them money, not to help you lose weight and keep it off!
Once you start buying their food, they want you to keep buying their food for the rest of your life . . . and you have to eat what they want you to eat!
If they have an exercise program, it’s one of the same old boring routines . . . like mindlessly trudging along on a treadmill.
As we grow older we naturally lose muscle mass and gain fat – it starts to happen in our early twenties . . . and just goes downhill from there. The average adult is on a runaway train that starts with slower movement, builds to nagging discomfort, and eventually ends in a heart attack.
The good news is that you can reverse the ravages of age with better nutrition and a consistent exercise program.
Martial arts training will help you develop remarkable skills while increasing your STRENGTH, ENDURAColumbiaE, and FLEXIBILITY.
Imagine feeling young again, with all the strength and confidence you had at 18 . . . but with today’s wisdom!
You just can’t avoid stress these days: You feel pressure at work, frustration in traffic, and anxiety in your relationships!
Since you cannot avoid stress, you need a simple, effective way to get rid of it.
Martial Arts training is the perfect stress-busting workout. You get to do all the things you would do in a temper tantrum: Yell, Scream, Hit Things, and even Break Things, all with no regrets!
At the end of class you feel refreshed and ready for a relaxing evening. You’ll release your pent-up anger, sweat out all kinds of nasty toxins, and find ultimate peace of mind through meditation.
Dear Friend,
If you’re like me, you know that the current research says exercise not only helps us look and feel our best, it helps us stay a lot healthier.
We all know that we SHOULD exercise, but the problem with most exercise programs is that they are just too BORING! Running or even walking mile after mile, or lifting the same weight 10 – 20 – 30 times just gets old fast . . . AND it usually hurts!
Our Innovative Martial Arts program is totally different. Every movement has a purpose – a purpose that might one day save your life!
Some of our students have actually been able to defend themselves from dangerous attacks, while most are grateful just knowing how to avoid trouble.

No.
Learning to defend yourself against a physical assault is certainly something you’ll accomplish, but we’ve discovered that the true value of martial arts is much more meaningful.
The martial arts are based on deep life principles and philosophy that enrich a practitioner’s lifestyle. Training brings the discipline and will power for students to achieve high levels of production in every aspect of their life.
We know how busy your life is, so our program is designed for the ‘busy’ person! Students can make exciting progress by attending classes an average of twice a week.
Some students will want to attend more classes, and that’s great, we have options for that!
There are so many, but here’s a list of 10: Self-defense, physical fitness and health, self-discipline, confidence, will power, mental and emotional health, socialization, personal growth, goal setting, and overcoming adversity.
One of the best parts of our program is that every student is treated as an individual, and will progress at their ow rate.
Each student’s progress isn’t measured against other students, but rather against their own previous performance!
So even students that aren’t as physically fit as the star quaterback on the football team, can have a wonderful experience in our program, and become stronger, fitter and more flexible.
Really, the only way to know if our program is a good fit for you and/or your family is to try it for yourself!
We have some GREAT WEB SPECIALS, so you can try the program with no strings attached, and see with your own 2 eyes how the program will benefit you or your whole family.
The great thing about our program is, everyone is treated as an individual.
We have students as young as 3 or 4 and as old as 94.
Since every person is different, the best (and really ONLY) way to see if our program is a good fit for you, is to take advantage of one of our WEB SPECIALS and try it for yourself!
I’m 100% confident you’ll have a great time!
A Shively-Gott2021-01-01Hands down, the staff is amazing! I've seen a noticeable (positive) difference in my child's self esteem since he's been enrolled at Rifkin Karate & he feels like he really belongs. I cannot thank Mr.Rifkin & his staff enough for having such a positive influence on him! I only wish I'd enrolled him sooner.Miles Schroeder2020-10-31Amazing place to train and learn to defend yourself in actual world like situations. Also a great way to work out. Highly recommended.Nalinda Wasala2020-08-27If you are in Columbia, MO area or closer and looking for martial arts for your kids (or yourself), you are looking at the very best & absolutely right place. The program is very high in quality. Master Rifkin delivers what he promises. He is very professional, fully committed and a good role model for the kids. Expectations are high and your kid will learn to work towards reaching a goal, be resilient and persistent. My son has been here for more than 2 years and loves it. I have been in the studio for pretty much every class (prior to COVID-19) and have seen the training and instructions, simply amazing. Once you are there, you’ll know the difference.Brandie Jordan2020-08-03My twins have been seeing Master Rifkin for about 9 months now and the amount of confidence I have seen in them is staggering. If you're looking to add to your child's confidence and self defense at the same time, I HIGHLY recommend RPKC for this. Well worth it. My twins love going to karate every week.Chris Eidson2020-06-05Very professional while still being a very caring staff. Rifkin is an excellent instructor and our 11 year old daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time here.Jason Oliver2020-06-04I dont often give 5 stars but this facility and its staff are truly there for the students always. Yes it's pricey compared to some others but the respect and results speak volumes about the owner and his ways, making the cost more than affordable.Amy Pescaglia2020-06-01My son is getting great instruction at Rifkin Karate Center. Once the COVID crisis hit, I wasn’t sure what would happen. Master Rifkin quickly put all classes online for easy to access, while the studio formulated a plan for return. I am so impressed with what they are doing. Online or in person classes so we each have options or backup plans. Temp checks, masks and hand sanitizer are used and a limited number of people are allowing in the building at a time. I feel that he is looking out to keep everyone safe and engaged at the same time.Jeff Markowski2020-04-17During the COVID-19 stay at home order, our son is using the virtual, private lessons and they are beneficial both physically and emotionally. These lessons help him stay in shape, in practice and mentally connected to the discipline. They are helping him stay on track, and motivate him to practice every day. I highly recommend these virtual lessons.Shawn Mccoy2020-04-16Master Rifkin has been teaching my son for over two years now and this review is long overdue. I wouldn't consider taking him anywhere else. The growth I have seen has been amazing to watch and I attribute it to the skill that Master Rifkin has as an instructor. It is of utmost importance to him that his students get the best possible teaching that can be delivered to them, and it shows in his students. Lately, with the social distancing, he has gone to private lessons via zoom and my son has loved it. It has been the highlight of his week and allows for 1 on 1 instruction time ,maintaining the quality that is so important to Master Rifkin. I highly recommend the virtual training that he is offering right now
