About Us

Teaching others allows me to create a connection with the students. No matter what obstacle, having that connection allows students to grow, and that empowers others to grow as well.

At the dojo, each student, parent, and team member has made me as if I belong here. What truly inspires me to do my best is the community fostered between all of us. My goal is to help people see they belong here as well and I hope to make everyone feel welcomed once they step into the dojo.

The Kajukenbo system of training the MIND, BODY, and SPIRIT is what I am looking for in martial arts. We provide a safe, family oriented environment to develop these skills. I hope to train and EMPOWER other students to improve their skills.

The dynamic and culture here at the dojo is amazing and I am grateful to be part of it. I hope to continue to make the dojo an inspiring place for the students to grow and take their experiences and incorporate it in their lives and others in the community.

My journey at the dojo has helped me grow as a person, and my instructors have always been very welcoming and supportive. Being a part of my student's journey and giving them this experience is very rewarding. I love to teach at the dojo because it empowers me to be the best version of myself.

Growing up as a student at Empower, martial arts helped me to grow as a person, in terms of both life skills and actual martial arts. I hope to do the same for students, contributing to the community.

Teaching martial arts has not only gotten me more comfortable with public speaking and confidence, but it has helped me to become the best version of myself.

As a student, I strongly admire all of my instructors and how they have taught me over the past years. My goal is to teach students in such a way that they are excited to come to class each week. I’m excited to get to work with these kids and watch them learn and grow, not only as martial artists but as people too.

I strive to empower students of all ages to see who they are capable of becoming as they mature and grow both on and off the mat. Observing this in others inspires me to do the same in my life.

I teach others because I know my experience with martial arts has been shaped by my instructors, and I wouldn’t be here without them. I want to create that same experience for students so they can feel comfortable, feel wanted and feel like martial arts is something they wish to pursue.

Empower Martial Arts is a significant part of my life and has taught me many valuable life skills that I use both on and off the mat. I love seeing the students learn and improve with every class they come to while having fun.

Martial arts was a keystone in growing up. I believe the values and the personal growth that come with training are what helped make me who I am and who I continue to become. I hope to teach those same life values and inspire students to always improve.

Empower Martial Arts has helped me obtain multiple life skills throughout my journey here that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to achieve. The main reason I enjoy teaching the students is that I want to help spread these life skills to them, help them develop their skills and techniques, and contribute to the growth of the people I teach.

Over the years I've been grateful to watch the kids who come to our dojo to grow into confident, independent, capable and poised human beings. There is nothing more rewarding and empowering than creating a safe and trusting community for our parents and students.

Empower Martial Arts has taught me a lot throughout my life since I first started. It is fulfilling to see the students go to the next step in their martial arts journey, even if it is as simple as tying their own belt. I feel grateful that I get the opportunity to be there with them while they grow.

As part of the team, I strive to make a meaningful and positive impact on the lives of our students and family members each and every day. I'm extremely grateful to be able to use martial arts as a way to inspire, motivate, and empower others to be their best.

I teach because I enjoy inspiring others on their journey to becoming a martial artist.

I enjoy seeing students, youth and adults, learn and develop into well-rounded martial artists. It's more than punching and kicking. It’s respect, honor, hard work, and tradition! I enjoy motivating and driving others stay fit for life! It's a personal interest of mine too.

I love teaching as it gives me the means to form better people through both physical and mental fitness while having fun. I hope to spark the fire that leads to a lifetime of excellent life skills and habits!
