Here you will find all the latest information about our school and what’s coming up.

Welcome Back
We are so impressed with the energy that has been brought to the mats already this year. Next week will be our Progress Check 1 so lets make sure that energy keeps growing.
Up and coming at Empower Martial Arts
Graduations
Our next Graduations will kick off Monday 6th March and run in every class until the Saturday 11th March.
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 11th starting from 1pm and aim to finish for 2.45pm.
Black Belt Star Tests
Adults will be on Thursday 2nd March at 8.05pm (Fitness Star Test).
Kids will be on Saturday 4th March at 2pm (Fitness Star Test)

Healthy tips for your body and you mind
It is that amazing time where we feel more Empowered to “Get up and Get on it”.
Take advantage of this energy and let it build momentum.
Momentum is far more powerful than motivation but without the motivation the is no spark to get going.
Don’t feel bad about not achieving all your goals, especially straight away.
If you aim for 10 and hit 2 that’s 2 more than before and a pretty good start.
The number 1 tip is to get a great team behind you…. so you are already on the right path at EMPOWER.
