Breaking Barriers: Inpowered’s Journey to Empowerment

Loading player...
Join us as we dive into the incredible story behind Inpowered, the South African organisation that’s empowering thousands to reclaim their strength—both physically and mentally. Founded by Mark Grobbelaar, Inpowered teaches life-saving self-defence skills and has inspired a movement of confidence, resilience, and empowerment.

In this episode, we explore their most ambitious event yet: a world record attempt on 21st November 2024, where thousands of South Africans will break wooden boards, symbolising the power within us all.

Mark shares his deeply personal journey, the origins of Inpowered, and how one chance encounter with Alison in 1990 led to a global movement of empowerment. From women and men to children and CEOs, Inpowered is changing lives and showing South Africans what true strength looks like.

This is a story of resilience, hope, and the belief that we all have the power to stand up for ourselves. Don't miss it!
