I’ve always been active in sports or recreational exercise. When I met Al, I began to reconsider exactly what active was. Starting with the smallest kettle bell and shocking my body with movements it never thought of doing or re-shaping my view of the world with his concepts of Jeet Kune Do, was only the beginning! It has been nine months of the largest body, mind, and soul changing I have ever experienced! Al is by far one of the most motivating and exuberant trainers you’ll ever meet. He does an exceptional job getting to know all of his students to better learn their strengths and weaknesses. He’ll support and push you to always be the best “you” possible, all the while, striving to make his own form and technique better. In a short time, he’ll have magnified your strengths and dissipated your weaknesses! Al trains classes of every body type and all ages. He takes a large mix of people and makes each and every person successful in their workout or martial art. Never has my body been so sculpted, my confidence through the roof, and my outlook on life bright as ever! Whether you train with Al once or for years, you’ll never regret meeting him! Warning; be prepared to work hard and like it!"

Let the cutting begin :(

I had the tremendous fortune to work with Lori Mills, Natalie Mills, Haylie Mills, & Dana Duffy over this weekend. I could not have asked for a better group to help train. We went for over 5 hours with very little downtime. These chicks worked hard, never complained and were extremely tough. Training in JKD requires you to experience it. There is no other way. You are going to get punched, kicked, thrown, choked, eye poked, groin grabbed, bitten, pinched, stabbed at, wrist locked, small joint manipulated, foot locked, arm barred, and more. Its just how it is. These women are now part of "Team Lowrimore" which is by invitation only. I would also like to thank "Roe" and "Donna Martin" for their selfless help to make my dream of teaching JKD and Kettlebells.

Instructor Mike Diaz in Guam training the Local guys there. Mike called from half way around the world to ask permission to train and show some of the younger fighters some of our JKD philosophy. I thank you for allowing Mike to train with you, he is a class guy and a dedicated instructor. Big 'Hello" from my entire team, beat him up a little for us...

Warmest Greeting,

Al

There are some exiting changes taking place. Mr. Jeff Stine is opening FIVE STAR MARTIAL ARTS. This facility will be the premier school of MMA and Fitness in Southern California. I am honored to have been asked to teach JKD, Kettlebells, and Fitness. Located at 8745 N. Magnolia Ave in Santee, this facility will have 2500 sq. feet of mat space for Jiu Jitsu, 1700 sq. feet for Jkd and Fitness and a seperate room for private instruction. It is an awesome space and will be run like all Harris affiliated schools. We will be a friendly, warm and welcoming environment that promotes learning and growth. Just like we are now. Grand Opening is April 1st. Please make sure to come and sign up during March to take advantage of Jeffs' generous offer to my students.



One of the biggest pieces of news is that Mr. Roy Harris will be teaching Jiu Jitsu. This means we have access to one of the true icons in the Jiu Jitsu world.



I will keep you posted as changes take place...

A Life Changer Rated 10 out of 10

It is hard to overstate the impact AL has had on my life over the past two years I have known and trained under him. His boundless enthusiasm for fitness and life in general is truly infectious and has profoundly improved my own self image and approach to each and every day. He is constantly shifting and honing his approach, whether to martial technique, kettlebell form, or teaching methodology. AL is never content to sit back and accept that he has reached the apex of his journey, and that constant drive for knowledge and improvement is transferred directly to his students and clients as he practices what he preaches right alongside you. If all you care about are results, you need only reference his list of clients that I have personally witnessed lose 50, 60, over 100 lbs., or see the growing list of beefed up frat guys and even firefighters who have been shamed by 110 lb. girls who have been training with him for only a few months. And he does it all while fostering an environment of cooperation, diversity, and mutual respect rather than competition and showmanship. It is truly a pleasure to know and learn from AL, and he will absolutely change your life for the better, both physically and mentally.

Kettlebells are unique in that no other implement can be used for such a vast array of exercises. Kettlebells will help you develop:

•  foundation of strength

• Greater flexibility (and strength through that increased range of motion)

• Accelerated recovery

• Increased grip strength

• Balanced musculature, which will eliminate weaknesses

• Increased power and explosiveness

• CRAZY conditioning

• Jacked muscle mass

Because kettlebells are so versatile and portable, you can take them with you to the gym or anywhere that has a small open spot.

That is why kettlebells are such a great training device.  You can keep them in the trunk of your car and you can get a workout wherever you’re at; in a park, in the parking lot or in your yard.

Imagine taking a set of kettlebells into your gym, past reception and doing a killer workout while everyone else is struggling away on the elliptical.
