Empowered Martial Arts

Empowered Martial Arts is a martial arts school in Greenville, SC, located at 21 Orchard Park Dr Suite C. The school offers classes for preschoolers, children, teens, and adults, focusing on self-defense, fitness, and personal development. Students learn practical self-protection skills while building confidence, discipline, and respect. The instructors use positive reinforcement and compassionate teaching methods to create a supportive environment for all experience levels. The school provides a structured atmosphere where students can achieve their personal goals, whether that is improving focus, learning to stand up to bullies, or progressing toward a black belt.

Master Olson, an 8th degree black belt with over 30 years of Taekwondo training, founded the school. He has owned his own schools for 20 years and created the SafetyNET Kids program in 2003, along with programs for bullying prevention, better focus, confidence, and leadership. These programs are used in classrooms and schools across the country. Master Olson uses positive reinforcement to shape behavior and believes his training has helped him manage Parkinson’s disease, which he was diagnosed with in 2013.

Elizabeth, a senior 3rd degree black belt, has trained in Taekwondo for over 20 years. She holds a degree in business marketing from the University of Tennessee and created an effective instructor training program used in every class. Elizabeth teaches with compassion and genuine care, helping students build trust and self-worth. Her background allows her to assist both children and adults in overcoming anxiety and building pride in their accomplishments. She also leads junior instructor training classes for teens.

The school emphasizes that martial arts is for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or fitness level. Classes are designed to be challenging yet welcoming, with instructors trained to keep teaching simple so even uncoordinated students can succeed. The environment encourages family involvement, with parents often joining classes or watching their children’s progress. Students develop strong boundaries, self-control, and social skills through rigorous but positive enforcement of rules. The journey to black belt is viewed as an individual path with no judgment on pace, focusing instead on perseverance, commitment, and life-long success.
