"My students LOVE the material that is included in the Empower Kickboxing curriculum and I am using it daily."
Michael Jilcott
"Best thing you can do for your school and students. Just because you know your systems requirements, doesn't mean you can teach them effectively. MATA certification program will teach you how to teach. Covers many topics that just aren't covered in most systems."
Kuro Lotuz
Owner, Chief Instructor
"Great well rounded, detailed and comprehensible course! Highly recommend for new or experienced instructors for mental, physical and business growth."
Mac McNeil
Martial Arts School Owner
"MATA is excellent! It provides detailed information that will improve teaching styles and methodology, and covers much more than instruction of a martial art."
Clyde Arnold
Martial Arts School Owner
"If you genuinely care about your students and want to learn how to be compassionate while being passionate about the martial arts...then this is the ultimate how-to. Add in the fact you learn great business acumen, and you have the most complete and well-rounded program available. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"
Geno Guevara
Owner, Alamo Ranch Martial Arts
" I joined Empower Kickboxing because I wanted something that my students would enjoy. That has worked great! The added bonus for my phone calls with Mr. Graden. That was a huge help at no additional charge! I also like the fact that he doesn't always agree with me and challenges my thinking which has kept me from making mistakes."
