Up and coming at Empower Martial Arts
Graduations
Our next Graduations will kick off Monday 5th December and run in every class until the Saturday 10th December.
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 in then 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 starting from 1pm and aim to finish for 3pm.
Black Belt Star Tests
Adults will be on Thursday 1st December at 8.05pm (Technical Star Test).
Kids will be on Saturday 3rd December at 2pm (Dynamic Kicking Star Test)
New Empower Black Belts
So proud to announce we have a new Black Belt at Empower Martial Arts and a new 4th Degree Black Belt!! Congratulations Danny and Anna.
Black Belts are not earnt on the Grading day alone… they are earnt in every single training session. Years on dedication and hard work leads to the skill and strength to pass such an achievement. Every step is a step closer. Danny has also proven that it doesn’t end when you get to 1st Degree Black Belt… in fact that when it really starts.
Charity events at Empower Martial Arts
We are planning another Battle Rope Challenge for 2023… keep your ears and eyes peeled!
Healthy tips for your body and you mind
Start preparing now for the winter binges. Prevention is better than a cure.
The weather maybe turning but the energy is still here… and it’s the perfect temperature to train in!
So Lets GO!!
Beware that even though thirst might not be as obvious without the pressing heat it is still recommended to stay very much hydrated.
Aim for 2 litre’s for and Adult and 1.5 litre’s for a child. Add an extra litre for every hour or intense training.
New Achievements at Empower
We had the President of WKU England, Del Sampson put on a Rules and Referee Course at our school for all Instructors. Congratulations to all that attended and passing.
Safety is of paramount importance to us along with continuing to progress our knowledge.
If any one is interested in becoming certified in this please contact us. It is a mandatory part of our 3rd Degree Black Belts going forward.
Strengthen – Support – Succeed
