About Powell’s Way of Kenpo

Founded over 35 years ago, Powell’s Way of Kenpo was formed to teach students practical, effective martial arts skills. While the root of our art is Chinese Kenpo Karate, we have incorporated other arts to form a unique and complete martial arts system that you will not find anywhere else. Our system starts with the speed and effectiveness of Kenpo and adds the ground techniques of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the dynamic throws and locks of Aikido, and the internal power of Tai Chi Chuan.

At Powell’s Way of Kenpo, you will experience practical training for real situations taught in a dynamic, disciplined way. Here, you will find world-class instructors and students who are dedicated to training for realistic situations and developing the skills needed to defend yourself. We offer you the most effective self-defense system available – one that strengthens those qualities that are so important to surviving today’s world: self-confidence, self-discipline, and unity between a clear, calm mind and a healthy, strong body.
