Welcome to the Empower Martial Arts Academy Blog

👋 Welcome to the Empower Martial Arts Online Blog!
Well, this is exciting. You’ve stumbled across the brand-new Empower Martial Arts Academy Online Blog — your shiny new hub for all things Empower. Whether you train with us in person in Lincoln, follow along online from afar, or you’re just here because you got lost on the internet (it happens), you’re in the right place.
🥋 Who We Are
At Empower, we teach Jeet Kune Do, Kali, Kickboxing, and a healthy dose of self-defence & fitness thrown in for good measure — but more importantly, we build a tribe. Our academy is known for being friendly, family-orientated, and a bit of a laugh due to the exceptional comedic timing of our dedicated instructors.
We’re not a “tough guy” gym. We’re a “train hard, support each other, have a pint after class” kind of community. Whether you’re 4 or 74, beginner or black belt, everyone trains side by side here.
🧭 What This Blog Is For
Think of this blog as your digital HQ. A place to find answers, stay in the loop, and occasionally be mildly entertained by my attempts at humour. Here’s what you can expect:
Academy Updates: Closures, new classes, timetable changes — basically, the stuff you actually need to know so you don’t turn up to an empty gym on Christmas Eve.
Event Info: Seminars, gradings, special workshops, and the occasional road trip — all posted here so you don’t miss out.
FAQs & Tips: From “What should I wear to my first class?” to “Why are my shins bruised?” (answer: you kicked something), we’ll cover the most common questions.
Online Training & Resources: For our Empower Online crew and any members who want to keep learning between classes, you’ll find guidance, breakdowns, and behind-the-scenes insights from our online content and vlogs, podcasts etc.
Community Spotlights: Stories from students, instructors, and visiting legends — because our tribe is full of brilliant people.
💻 For Online & In-Person Members Alike
The blog isn’t just for the people sweating it out on the mats in Lincoln. Our Empower Online members will find training tips, course info, and extra resources to support your journey wherever you are in the world (yes, even if your “training partner” is your dog in the living room).
🗣 Get Involved
Got a question you’d love us to answer on the blog? Want to share your story or a training win? Fancy nominating someone for our Coach's award because they finally remembered their gloves? Drop us a message! This is a community blog, not just me rambling into the void (though there’ll be a bit of that too).
🚀 Ready to Dive In?
Stick around. Bookmark this page. Maybe even subscribe to our mailing list so you don’t miss a post. Whether you’re after practical info, training inspiration, or just want to feel a bit more connected to your tribe, this blog is here for you.
Welcome to the next step in the Empower journey — on and off the mats.
See you in class (or in the comments).
👊
