Today was an exciting day for one of our younger students. Benjamin tested for the yellow stripe on his white belt and PASSED! We are all so proud of him. Keep up the good work.

On Saturday, December 13th (8:00am–1:00pm), Empower Martial Arts Academy made the decision to cancel all regular classes in to conduct a much-needed specialty training.

This training focused on personal safety awareness, emergency response, and responsible ways to protect yourself and others in extreme situations.

I have great respect for our law enforcement professionals, who are highly trained and put themselves in harm’s way during critical incidents. That said, in many situations there can be several minutes before help arrives, and what people do during that time matters.

I challenge martial arts schools to consider increasing realistic, live training and reactive drills that focus on awareness, decision-making, escape, and self-defense, not just for students but for the community as a whole. We must be pro active!

No training can guarantee safety, and tragic events cannot always be prevented. However, preparation can improve awareness, confidence, and the chance of survival!!

Our Empower Visual Impaired TRACE-TRACK-TOUCH program now offers adaptive self-defense for wheelchair users—broadening access and empowerment!

Your input matters! I’m considering relaunching the all-women’s Stun & Run Self-Defense Program.
In today’s world, it could make a real difference. Who’s in?

Big kudos to Ben for rocking his solo test! ! 🥋👏
