Up and coming at Empower Martial Arts
Graduations
Our next Graduations will kick off Monday 16th September and run in every class until the Saturday 21st September.
Please make sure Graduation forms are handed in before this week as we want to put all our attention on the Graduations that week and not at the desk discussing forms. (If the Graduation forms are handed in on Graduation Day the student will not Graduate that day, they will do it the next Graduation Day unless this is the Saturday and then it will be too late!)
Also note that no Progress Checks will be done on Graduation week. All Stripes must be earned before the Graduation week begins.
All students must have trained in at least 14 classes before the Graduation week begins. Please don’t aim for 14 classes…. 14 is the absolute minimum. There are 20 allocated classes and catch-up classes available so 20 is the number to aim for.
Brown Belt White Stripes
Brown Belt White Stripes will have their Progress Check on Saturday 21st starting from 2pm and aim to finish for 3.45pm.

Summer Holiday season at EMPOWER
During the summer holiday season we realise routines are broken so making your allocated classes will become more difficult.
This will also mean that we wont need to worry about classes being full as attendance naturally will be lower.
Please fell free to jump in any classes from your grade (belt level) you can. Also if you have a holiday coming up and know you will miss a week or more then start jumping in extra classes when you can to prepare for the Graduations in September.
But, please know that we do not want anyone feeling guilty they have missed training over this period due to opportunities to explore, socialise and just simply enjoy the fruits of the summer. There is only 1 summer holidays a year…. there will be more Graduations!
Healthy tips for your body and you mind
Don’t wait until its too late… REHYDRATE!!
Try and create a routine of drinking water throughout the day. My trick is I always start the day with a pint of water.
About 20 mins before every meal I drink another pint of water.
I have another after every hour of exercise.
I snack on fruit and smash veg in all meals.
Also remember even factor 50 sun cream has a warning on the back of the bottle.. “avoid long exposure to direct sunlight between 11am-3pm.”
