Our son loves training at POW! It has provided him with many beneficial tool and techniques from bully defense and diffusing a situation with words to opportunities to learn advance forms.
Great school to learn martial arts. If have ever wanted to learn martial arts or get your kids involved and live in Brookside/midtown area you owe it to yourself to check it out.
A member for about two years and can’t say enough good things! Fantastic trainers, great with my young kids and myself. A clean welcoming community environment for us to come together for training and fun.
Master Coleman and Zachary are amazing instructors and the quality of program is first class. They have found a way to make it both fun and challenging, while teaching respect and confidence. Great program. Great studio.
My 3 daughters have attended for 6 months and already thier teachers and I can see a boost in confidence. Highly recommended for kids struggling with shyness/speaking up for themselves. Fun fitness, hardwork, and dedication were an exceptional added bonus!!!
Our 8-year-old son has been participating in POW for more than a year. Prior to attending POW, he was receiving Physical Therapy for muscle tightness and weakness. His doctor has been so pleased with the increase in mobility achieved by attending POW, we were able to discontinue PT. Our son loves POW and looks forward to classes. Master Coleman is amazing with the children he teaches. Not only is our son getting the PT he needs, he’s also learning discipline, bully defense and other skills. We are so thankful we found the POW family.
Gracie Jiu Jitsu for the win! I just switched from Taekwondo to the Jiu Jitsu class and I am loving it. The people at the school and in the classes are great. My martial arts journey started here at 48. I would recommend this school for children (Master Coleman is wonderful with children) and adults. As a drug addict and alcoholic in recovery, it was a miracle that I found this school. I have to be surrounded by healthy people to recover. No complaints about Taekwondo classes, Jiu Jitsu was just a better match for my style (perhaps my wrestling and law enforcement background influenced my decision).
It's been over 20 years since I took martial arts classes, and I feel super lucky that Mr. Coleman opened POW right in my neighborhood. His philosophy on what martial arts is (and is not) fits exactly with mine, and the flexible class schedule has been working out very nicely with my busy life. My 8-year-old daughter is also taking lessons and she loves it, too. His manner with the kids is excellent, keeping them engaged and having fun, even with a pack of 12 or more on the mat! They have only been open a few months, but Mr. Coleman is putting all of his 25 years of experience into it, and it will only get better. Whether you are looking for serious self-defense training or just some super effective physical fitness, you have to check out POW!
Our 3.5-yr-old and 6-yr-old are both enrolled in the Tigers program. This is our first experience with martial arts, and we've been participating for about four months. Mr. Coleman has a real knack for working with the younger kiddos. He can manage behavior, minimize distraction, make the kids laugh, AND teach content in a 30-minute class better than many preschool teachers. He focuses on the whole person rather than just the execution of the moves and rewards manners, courtesy, focus, effort, and good sportsmanship above perfect execution. He's mindful of making sure the kids have a positive experience and that the families are involved and offering encouragement to the kids. He's also gone out of his way to give a little extra to help our kids learn and have fun. I showed up for a class on a different day with a different time slot than we usually go to right as the class was ending (I remembered the class time wrong). Mr. Coleman gave my boys a special lesson between his other classes just to make sure they got some practice in that day. He also hosted a birthday party lesson for my son's 6th birthday, which all the kids loved. We've had a great experience with Mr. Coleman and all the staff!
Mr Coleman is great with the kids. I have never seen an instructor get the kids engaged and have fun. I liked watching my son learning so much I joined myself! Try it it is good exercise and it always helps to learn how to protect oneself.
