About Us

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.

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 love teaching because it allows me to build strong connections with students and help them grow as martial artists as well as humans. Seeing the growth in students that I worked with and building positive connections with them empowers me to be my best self as well.

Empower Martial Arts shaped me into a better version of myself, physically and mentally. I’m inspired to help people to also discover their passion from martial arts and enjoy the process of learning new things because it is very rewarding seeing those that I’ve taught grow and change. More importantly, it is rewarding to see the growth in yourself!

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.

I enjoy teaching at the dojo because it gives me the chance to develop and experience many social and life skills at a young age. I also enjoy all the students I get to teach, who mature and learn just like I do. It’s not about the notoriety, instead gaining a chance to progress and learn with my EMA family.

I enjoy teaching at the dojo because of the safe and positive environment. This dojo has taught me so much and I feel honored to be able to pass it along to the students I teach. Watching them learn and grow not only as martial artists but as human beings as well inspires me to be a good role model. My favorite part of teaching is building connections with students, they help me learn as much as I am helping them. I am extremely grateful to be a part of this family.

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 love teaching because I get to play a small role in a student’s long journey towards becoming a black belt! Watching students earn their next belt and be inspired to learn, motivates me to become a better person. I’m so grateful to be able to make special connections with students and I hope to inspire them as they’ve inspired me.

I enjoy teaching because I love getting to know all the students and watch them earn their next belt knowing that I helped in mentoring them. When I'm watching the students it inspires me to be the best I can be.

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!
