Power of One really cares about their students values, my Son has grown to a very independent and confident person. I never thought that enrolling him at the age of 6 he would have so much fun and would love going to class all the time. The instructors are so great to all the kids and they make it fun so that they are always interacting. I highly recommend this place to kids of all ages. 👍

My son and daughter both have been a member of the Po1 family for over 12 years now. From our very first class we attended, we knew we had found the right place for children to start their martial arts education. The studio offers great classes with enthusiastic and caring instructors. The instructors are in tune with the children’s needs and not only teach martial arts but life skills as well. Both our children have been involved with demonstration teams and competition teams. In addition they are both part of a certified instructors program where they learn the skills to teach others and mentor

I’ve been training at the Power of One for years, and in this time I’ve seen countless lives affected in the most positive ways.
This martial arts studio isn’t only great for kids, but adults alike. From character to mental and physical fitness development, the Power of One has the necessary tools for empowering both young and old.
This place will always be my home away from home, you will always feel welcomed by their friendly staff.

My son and I attended a try out session for about 20 minutes and I was impressed from the minute I walked through the door. The staff was attentive, welcoming and friendly. My son was invited to participate right away and he was comfortable enough to accept the invitation. We look forward to getting started next week! This seems to be the right sport and the spot for us.

We have been going to the PO1 for the past 10 years and all those years we had a positive experience with all the instructors and staff. My son and daughter started going there when they were in kindergarten and now I have one in high school and the other will be high schooler next year. Not only the instructors at the PO1 taught my children self defense and discipline, they taught them compassion and self respect for themselves and others. I joined the PO1 family 6+ years ago and I consider them family. The instructors at the PO1 genuinely care and go the extra mile to lend a helping hand. I hope

My daughter and son have been students of PO1 for nearly 10 years. I can honestly say, training here has helped my kids with building confidence, reinforcing their moral standards, and performing to the best of their abilities, all the while learning martial arts. The staff are super friendly, attentive, and supportive of my children's growth. Zero regrets!

1st I must say you are never too old to start!
I started with Mr. V when I was 47 years old because the Dr told me I needed to exercise.
Yes, the Po1 is family, not because you are blood related but because people/instructors care about you, your kids, your personal growth, yourr character and as you would expect, all at the same time learning Martial Arts. Definitely there is a higher standard/ level of teaching and learning at P01.

My son has been a member of the Po1 family for over 10 years now. From the minute we walked into the studio we knew we had found a home for our son and his martial arts journey. As my son progressed through the ranks at the studio, we knew we had made the right decision, he has never complained about going to class and has never wanted to quit. He has been on demonstration teams, competition teams, been able to help teach and mentor younger students and has gained experiences in leadership that are hard to find in other places. Having the opportunity at a young age to take a Certified Instructor
