Empower Training Systems founder Tim Rochford began teaching self defense in 1982. The program was initially named Dynamic Personal Defense Systems.
The name ‘Dynamic’ was used because Rochford recognized that each new training group required a program that could dynamically change or be custom-designed to meet each client’s specific needs. Thus, the philosophy behind the core program was ‘born’ and has continued to evolve with each new training experience.
The Empower Self Defense program – the word “Proactive” is the key to our self defense philosophy, “The best defense is a prepared offense.”
Our goal is to Proactively EMPOWER our participants by developing and enhancing Awareness (Mental, Emotional, Environmental and Physical), knowledge and physical skill through our training programs.
