I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I’ve been in business now 10 years and I WISH I would have known about this when I started. As an instructor, I am always looking for ways to become a better version of myself and this course really helped. Very informative and everything that the course covers is absolutely needed if you plan on running a successful martial arts school. Way to go team!
I am actively engaging my change-over from a style based school to an Empower Kickboxing school. I love your quote above, “We’re more focused on skill improvement rather than skill memorization.”

Again – thank you (for waking me up to this concept)! Love the material that is included in the Empower Kickboxing curriculum and I am using it daily.
Thank you, sir. It is a great training program that every instructor should take to learn the latest and best practices for effective martial arts instruction.
An outstanding course that covers material across the board for anyone from a brand-new black belt to an experienced instructor for any style of martial art. Lessons are informative and easily broken down for different learning styles. I’ll complete it again in a year or so to stay current.
This is an amazing course. whether you’ve taught for years or just starting to assist this is for you. This in-depth course provides great research and insight into both the teaching and business side of this industry.
