About Us: More Than Martial Arts—We’re a Place to Grow
At Empower Training Center, we believe martial arts is about far more than physical movement—it's about building people up from the inside out. Our core values—empowerment, respect, and growth—shape every class, every interaction, and every step of your journey with us. We stand for character over competition, community over ego, and lifelong learning that continues both on and off the mat. Our school is a safe, supportive space where kids, teens, and adults can push past their limits and become stronger, more confident versions of themselves.
We also stand against bullying, toxic egos, and one-size-fits-all coaching. Everyone is unique, and we honor that by creating an environment where people feel seen, supported, and challenged at their level. As we often say, “Your strength doesn’t show up all at once—it’s built in quiet moments, one class at a time.” That mindset is what drives everything we do. If you’re looking for more than just a workout—if you're looking for a place to belong—we’d love to meet you. Come try a class for free and see what makes Empower feel like home.

What We Believe: Growth Over Perfection
At Empower Training Center, we don’t expect perfection—we encourage progress. Every student’s journey is different, and we celebrate the small wins just as much as the big ones. Mistakes are part of the learning process, and we use them as stepping stones, not setbacks. Our belief is simple: if you show up with heart, we’ll meet you with support.
A Place Where Everyone Belongs
Whether you're 4 or 40, shy or outgoing, brand new or experienced—we welcome you as you are. Our community thrives on mutual respect, encouragement, and a shared commitment to bettering ourselves and each other. Empower is a space where families grow together, friendships form naturally, and every student feels seen. You don’t need to be tough to start here—but you’ll become stronger by staying.
"I have trusted Eric LaLone to train and teach my son son since he was 6 years old (now 17) and I would do it over and over again. Eric is wonderful with children, he can get on their level to make learning fun. I have also taken a few self-defense classes as well as concealed weapons courses and unique shooting courses. We trust Empower Training Center and Eric's knowledge, skills and insight."

"My daughter has just taken their anti bullying workshop and it was beyond helpful. Eric is such a talented instructor and makes sure every student walks away with practical strategies on how to be confident and protect themselves from highly agressive people. Class was so fun and interactive. My 8 y.o. daughter loved it so much she asks me to sign her up for their weekly martial arts program. Highly recommend. A+++"
