What Our Parents and Students Say
“As for teaching the kids, it couldn’t be better. They are patient, calm, and give the kids individual attention. They try to make everyone feel included while also instilling valuable skills such as discipline, focus, and the idea that there are no mistakes just things you need to work on. All of the kids love it there and I think they would stay there all day if they could.”
Miranda Y.

“My Daughter and I were looking for a Martial arts place to attend classes. Tried several places before and after we attended Powell’s way of Kenpo. We were very impressed with the level of instruction, real world practical fighting and self defense being taught. This is no ordinary karate dojo.”
