Up and coming at Empower Martial Arts

Graduations

Our next Graduations will kick off Monday 29th January and run in every class until the Saturday 28th October.

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 3rd February starting from 1pm and aim to finish for 2.45pm.

New Friday Classes

We now have additional Advanced Kids / Family class at 4.15pm and an Empower Ninjas class at 5.15pm.

If you would like to move one of your allocated classes to the Fridays please speak to an instructor.

Charity events at Empower Martial Arts

Our Pink Logo EMPOWER T Shirts raised a massive £400 for Pink Ribbon Foundation. 

Thank you to all that supported and display their new T Shirts with pride.

Healthy tips for your body and you mind

The Christmas period brings a well earned rest and a time to focus our energies on our families even more.

Although rest is a vital part of growth it is not advised to do nothing at all.

Going for walks, playing games and having adventures are all part of rest.

Keep the body and mind ticking over and come back stronger than ever.

STRENGTHEN – SUPPORT – SUCCEED

New 1st Degree & 2nd Degree Black Belts

3 more Legends join the E M P O W E R  Black Belt family…  and 1 more Super Legend joins the  E L I T E  2nd Degree Black Belt clan.

🥋🥋🥋🥋

We don’t spend time trying to create world champions…. we invest ALL our time creating LIFE WINNERS. 💯

This is what I am so proud of..

I have coached families for over 20 years and the evidence is clear and encouraging that the way we do it enhances lives which is why we are called “ EMPOWER” .

These life winners and all the life winners that reach Black Belt in our school spend over 5 year training. 🥋

👉🏼 The truth is we could teach most of them the techniques to pass a Black Belt in under 1 year…

👉🏼We could build the Strength & Fitness required in under 2 years.

👉🏼 We could teach the Martial Arts self defence in under 3 years.

👉🏼 But the Wisdom,  Courage,  Confidence, Focus,  Discipline,  Emotional Strength and Intelligence,  Resilience,  Humbleness,  Patience, Leadership and all the other life skills to become a LIFE WINNER and get through our Black Belt Grading takes a lot longer.

🪧 These are all skills they will use every single day… I truly believe that if I teach right they will only need their kicking and punching skills inside the DOJO.

🙌🏼 Thank you to all the instructors @empowermartialarts_ for your support in getting these 4 to this monumental stage in their life. The journey continues… 🙌🏼🥋🙌🏼
