Our Programs

Something for every age and goal

From your child’s first high-five on the mat to adult black-belt training — our classes keep you active, focused, and growing at your own pace.

Tiny Tigers

Ages 4–6

Tiny Tigers

A fun, structured first step into martial arts. Little ones build focus, listening skills, balance, and big confidence — all through games and activities designed just for them.

Kids Taekwondo

Ages 7–12

Kids Taekwondo

Kids learn real ATA Taekwondo on a clear path to black belt — setting goals, building discipline and respect, and gaining the kind of confidence that shows up at home and in school.

Teen & Adult Taekwondo

Teens & Adults

Teen & Adult Taekwondo

Fitness, focus, and real, tested self-defense in a supportive environment. Whether you want to get in shape, relieve stress, or finally learn to protect yourself — beginners are always welcome.

Kummooyeh

Sword & Archery

Kummooyeh

One of the only suburban schools in the metro to offer this traditional Korean art. Students train authentic sword forms and Korean archery — a rare, deeply grounded discipline most schools simply don't offer.

Why Empower

Your achievement is our mission

We’re not a budget chain or an elite competition dojo. We’re a trusted, owner-operated community school where achievement is earned, belonging is genuine, and students of all ages leave stronger — physically, mentally, and in character.

  • The only Kummooyeh program in the area

    Authentic Korean sword and archery training that virtually no other school in the southwest metro offers.

  • Led by a credentialed owner-instructor

    Kevin Dockan is a 4th-degree black belt and Level 3 ATA-certified instructor who teaches every day.

  • Self-paced belt progression

    Every student levels up at their own pace through a clear, motivating ranking system.

  • Instruction that's firm yet kind

    Rigorous enough to deliver real results, welcoming enough that beginners and kids thrive from day one.

What Families Say

Real stories from our families

“Highly recommended. Kevin is a great instructor at Empower Martial Arts school for our 2 young boys. They respond really well to his techniques at class. We highly recommend going to Empower Martial Arts to learn Tae Kwon Do.”

Jayne G.

Mom of two

“Our 7yo son absolutely loves it and has gone from uncoordinated and timid to stronger and more confident. His behavior in school has even improved now that he has this outlet. Mr. Dockan's approach is firm yet kind, and he challenges the kids at just the right level.”

Shari H.

Mom

“We have had a great learning environment, a positive atmosphere and the value of great Martial Arts instruction. Our instructor/owner is knowledgeable in the ATA field and always challenges us to do more than we think we can.”

Tournament Results

Our students step up — and bring home the hardware.

From the Minnesota Rumble to ATA tournaments, Empower competitors train hard and shine. The medals are great — but the confidence they carry into everything else is the real win.
