Whether you're an adult who's been meaning to start for years, or a parent looking to help your child build confidence, fitness and resilience, our 12 Week Kick Start is designed to make getting started simple.
No guesswork. No pressure. Just a clear path from your first session to becoming part of the club.
Love your first session or pay nothing.
If after your first week you feel like it isn't for you - we'll fully refund you.


Be honest...
Every year it goes on the list. Every time you see a class on social media you think "I'd love to do that", and every time, the same voice pops up:
"You're too unfit, you're too old. Everyone else will know what they're doing. You'll look daft"
Here's what we've learned after more than 10 years teaching in Lincoln.
Every single person who walks through our door starts with that exact same voice in their head.
The 24 year old lad. The 47 year old mum. The bloke in his 50s that hasn't exercised since school,
They were all unsure, all a little nervous. All wondering if they'd fit in.
And within 3 or 4 weeks, almost everyone says the same thing:
" I can't believe I worried about this"
The problem was never you, it was that most clubs throw beginners in at the deep end with no plan, no support and no clue what comes next. So beginners quit. Not because martial arts isnt for them, but because nobody built them the proper on-ramp.
So we built one...
The 12 week kickstart program is a structured, beginner-only pathway. You'll know exactly which classes to attend, exactly what to focus on each week and exactly how you're progressing. A coach checks in with you regularly. You grade if you're ready at the end of it.
12 weeks from now, you're not someone who's thinking about martial arts. You're a martial artist with their first grading behind you.

Maybe your child is the quiet one. The one who hangs back, who gives up easily, who spends a bit too much time on a screen and not enough time believing in themselves.
You don't want to toughen them up. You want them to walk taller, make friends, stick at something and come home buzzing about what they've learned.
That's exactly what a well-run martial arts program does and it's why so many of our most confident students were the ones who arrived shy, nervous and hiding behind a parent's leg on day one.
The 12 week kickstart gives your child:
- Structure they can see and a clear pathway with a grading at the end which they'll earn rather than being given.
- Coaches who notice them with regular check-ins
- A tribe with friendship, team mates and a place they belong that isn't a screen
- Confidence they earn and develop. Not empty praise. Real skills, learned properly that prove to your child that they're capable of more than they thought
And before you commit to anything, you'll both come in for a free session with us. Your child tries a session, meets the coaches. You asked every question you've got and if it's not the right fit, no hard feelings and no pressure.
"I'm too unfit."
Most beginners are and that's exactly why they start. The fitness comes from the training, not before it.
"I'm too old."
Some of our members started in their 30s, 40s and 50s and even 70s. The only bad time to start was yesterday...
"My child is shy."
Many of our most confident students were nervous during their first session. Watch what 12 weeks can do.
"I've never done martial arts before."
Perfect. This programme was designed specifically for complete beginners. You will not just be thrown in the deep end.
"What if I miss a week?"
Life happens. Unlimited training means you can catch up across 6 days of classes, and your coach check-ins keep you on track.
Confidence that carries beyond the gym. Whether you're an adult or a junior student, there's something powerful about discovering you're capable of more than you thought.
Fitness with purpose. No boring gym sessions. Learn practical skills, improve your fitness and enjoy the process along the way.
Real skills and real progress. From boxing and kickboxing to Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Martial Arts and practical self defence, you'll learn skills that develop week after week.
Community and belonging. Train alongside supportive coaches and members who remember what it felt like to be new and want to see you succeed.

Don't just take our word for it! Here's what some of our previous students have said.


"Highly recommend this fantastic and friendly place. Been training here for a few years now and great instructors, great team and such a supportive environment. I don't do 'gyms' and this is the longest I've stuck at any form of fitness classes"


As far as martial arts clubs go, this is one of, if not, the best club I have ever attended and I have been doing fighty stuff for over 35 years!


"Great team, friendly students and a wonderful environment to learn and train in. Become a second home for me and my family. Highly recommend regardless of fitness and skill. Something for everyone."

Fitter.
More confident.
More active.
More resilient.
Part of a community.
Looking forward to training each week.
Wearing your first belt.
Wondering why you didn't start sooner
Your Early Bird Package Includes...

Train as often as you like across our full timetable, Monday to Saturday in Boxing, Kickboxing, Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Martial Arts and practical self defence.
Train x 3 per week and that's 36 coached sessions!
Usually £79/month on a standard membership

Yours from day one. You'll look and feel like a member from the very first session, because you are one!

You'll never wonder what comes next, which classes to attend, what to focus on, how you're progressing. All mapped out week by week.
Unlike a gym, we'll regularly check in on your progress too to keep you moving and answer anything you're unsure of.
Finish your 12 weeks and if you're ready you can grade for the first time in the Empower syllabus, nationally recognised by the British Combat Association.
Our beginner bundle includes unlimited training 6 days a week if you wish, gloves and t-shirt, your first grading if ready, unlimited support and progress coaching over the 12 weeks. This is a combined value of over £350 but for the next 7 people to book on we have the below offer
Just £249 paid in full (best value) or x 3 monthly payments of £90
Train x 3 times a week with us and that works out as under £2.30 per coached session, with gloves, t-shirt and your first grading included!
Compare that to £79 per month for standard membership, plus £50 for kit, plus £30 for grading fees and the kickstart program is comfortably the cheapest way you'll ever join Empower!
We have just 10 places total on this program and 3 have now gone. This isn't a marketing trick. Beginners need attention. Coach check-ins, personal progression plans and proper correction. This doesn't work with 40 new members all at once. Ten is the number where every single gets looked after properly. When the places are gone - they're gone until the next intake.
STEP ONE - costs nothing. Just book a free session with us using the button below. Tell us your goals, meet the coaches, try a session.
If you love it - you take one of our places on the program.
If it's not for you, no hard feelings and good luck
You risk an hour of your time - that's it.
