About
Empower Martial Arts offers martial arts and self-defense training that includes basic blocks, strikes, kicks, stances, and high-energy exercises. The base style is Kajukenbo, a hybrid martial art that incorporates striking, blocking, kicking, stand-up and ground combat, choreographed forms, and self-defense, and it borrows from karate, judo, jujitsu, kenpo, and boxing. The program is described as a safe, family oriented environment and more than a simple dojo, with professionally trained staff and both younger and adult instructors.
