From the reviews

I used to be a total loser and couch potato before Empower but, after my brothers started I couldn’t help but join. You Must be saying “you can learn MMA anywhere” but, not only has Empower kept me on my feet and changed many aspects of my life and mental health, there’s a great community and sensei that comes with it.

★★★★★ — Madeeha, Nov 2025

My daughter Charlotte was hesitant to join at first, but now she absolutely loves it and looks forward to every session. The owner/instructor has an incredible ability to keep the kids both engaged and in line — he’s firm when needed, but always fair, and handles any disruptions quickly and confidently.

★★★★★ — Rich, Jun 2025

I cannot say enough great things about Empower Martial Arts and Fitness! My son has been attending for about three months now, and he absolutely loves it. Sensei David is phenomenal — his passion for teaching shines through in every class.

★★★★★ — Jessica, Jul 2025

When we originally went to Empower -I never thought my son would be begging to go to karate every single day-but that is exactly what we are doing. Not just going through the motions but actually training, focusing, and learning.

Your first kickboxing class at Empower Martial Arts & Fitness

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
