Your Entry Point into the EMPIRE METHOD

This is not a class. This is your first step into real-world capability.

The Empire Onboarding Session exists for one reason: to give you clarity before you commit to anything.

In a focused 30-minute onboarding session, you will experience how Empire actually works:

Here is what you will get:

how we train

how we think

how we build adults who demand more than workouts and theory

No hype. No pressure. Just truth.

What Happens During Your Onboarding

This is not a lecture.
It’s not a sales pitch.
And it’s definitely not a trial class.

During your session, you will receive:

✔️ A guided walkthrough of the Empire training structure
✔️ Hands-on exposure in a controlled, supportive environment
✔️ Direct guidance on the path that fits you best: Self-defense, Kickboxing or the full Empire system

You will leave knowing exactly:

    • where you fit
    • what makes sense for your goals
    • and whether Empire is the right move for you
No guessing. No wondering.

Real People. Real Results.
