About Focused Fitness Ultimate Edge Karate
Sensei Daley would like to welcome you to the new, second location of Focused Fitness, in Augusta, Maine. Sensei Daley will bring his 32 years of training and teaching to Focused Fitness and its students. Focused Fitness was established in 1998 by Sensei Glen Fitzmaurice when he opened his first Dojo in Gardiner, Maine. Recently, in 2005, Focused Fitness moved to a new, larger location in Randolph.
From beginners to black belts, youth to adult, we train our students to the best of their ability. Each student is viewed as the individual they are, and our instructors have only one expectation—the student’s desire to learn and perform their best (for children we stress that doing your best goes into every aspect of their lives, inside and outside of the Dojo). Classes are available for adults and children, ages 3 and older. Children's' classes stress the development of character through self-discipline and the martial arts.
The Augusta location of Focused Fitness is located at 558 Riverside Drive. Visitors are welcome at any time during regular school hours. Please see the class schedule on this site for current class times, or call us at 207.626.3343 for information.

Focused Fitness also offers martial arts supplies; uniforms, videos and publications for sale, and orders can usually be filled within a few business days.
Why Choose Focused Fitness
Effective self-defense, speed, fluid combinations, and focused technique are the foundation of the Kenpo philosophy, the backbone of the Focused Fitness way. Focused Fitness Martial Arts Center brings forth its own unique instruction of Kenpo Karate by incorporating the karate way into your life.
Experienced students will become comfortable with close-range fighting situations, hand and foot techniques, along with throwing and ground techniques. Kenpo techniques follow natural body movements and flow from natural positions, allowing for quick responses well suited for modern-day fighting situations and real-life self-defense.
