Max Chadwick - Life Coach and Trainer.

Creator of Empty Cup Martial Art 

With decades of experience as a life coach and trainer, Max has collaborated with numerous organizations to inspire personal growth, resilience, and transformation. Drawing from a lifetime of challenges and triumphs, he has created a ground-breaking martial art, Empty Cup, which synthesizes his extensive expertise in training and coaching.

The concept of Empty Cup was born from Max’s personal journey. Having faced the pain of bullying during his school years and endured an abusive relationship in his early twenties, he developed a deep understanding of emotional resilience. This empathy extended to his work with clients, where he often encountered stories of profound emotional hurt—a pain that many described as more enduring than physical wounds.

Empty Cup is not merely a martial art; it is a philosophy. At its core, it teaches individuals to let go of emotional baggage and fill their "empty cup" with self-awareness, strength, and healing. Max ‘s approach empowers people to confront their struggles with courage and transform adversity into personal growth.

And humour plays a pivotal role in this journey. Max believes that laughter is a powerful antidote to life's challenges, capable of breaking tension, fostering connection, and opening pathways to healing. His approach integrates humour seamlessly, turning heavy moments into opportunities for lightness and perspective.

Today, Max continues to guide others on their journey to self-discovery, combining practical tools, profound insights, and the wisdom drawn from his own experiences. Whether in workshops, Retreats, one-on-one coaching sessions, or Empty Cup training, his mission remains the same: to help individuals reclaim their power and live authentically and occasionally chuckle along the way.
