Our Story

Where Empower Began

Empower Martial Arts opened its doors in Lewis Center in 2023, founded by Coach Amy Williams on one simple belief: that martial arts is one of the most powerful ways to build confident, focused, and disciplined people. What began as one coach's mission has grown into a community that has trained more than 812 students across Lewis Center, Polaris, Galena, Sunbury & Worthington.

We teach authentic Martial Arts the right way, for kids as young as four all the way through adults. Our background-checked, experienced coaches do far more than teach striking. They learn every student's name, celebrate every win, and help each person discover exactly what they are capable of, on the mat and off it.

Meet Coach Amy

Since 2024, Empower Martial Arts has been guided by our founder, a 5th degree black belt with more than 21 years of experience. Her passion for martial arts shapes everything we do, from the way we teach to the way we build community.

Her journey includes 16 state champion titles, 4 district champion titles, and 2 bronze medals at the world championships, each one a testament to years of discipline and dedication.

That same discipline carries into everyday life. Our founder is a wife and mother of three kids, and the heart she brings home is the same heart she brings to every class.

Her vision for this school is simple: to be a shining light and positive role model in our community, helping build tomorrow's leaders one student at a time.

When you walk through our doors, you're joining more than a martial arts school. You're joining a family invested in your growth, your confidence, and your future.

What we stand for

The Empower Standard

A black belt is earned in the small habits, not the big moments.These are the values every Empower class is built on.

Respect

Everything starts with respect: for yourself, for your training partners, and for your coaches. It is the first thing we teach.

Discipline

Showing up, working hard, and following through. The habits built on the mat carry straight into school, work, and home.

Confidence

Our students stand taller, speak up, and meet challenges head-on, with a calm, focused mindset that follows them everywhere.

Community

We are a community, not just a gym. Every age, every background, and every goal is welcome here, and nobody trains alone.
