What can I say? My 9-year-old has been a student with Power of One since she was 6 and has loved every minute of the past 3 years under their tutelage. The instructors are incredible; kind, caring, tough and learned in their craft. They make classes fun but also challenging and I’ve watched not only my own kid but so many more learn the importance of discipline, integrity, courtesy and respect. Po1 is a martial arts studio that teaches multiple fighting styles from American Kenpo to Brazilian Jiujitsu (another class my child takes - that she absolutely loves!) but also Kickboxing, weapons training, Women’s Self Defense classes, you name it! Oh! And tournaments! Not only have students here represented their studio across the world. But Po1 holds inter-dojo tourney’s every six months or so, giving all ages and belt levels the opportunity to put their skills to the test. If you could have seen the look on my kid’s face when she won gold in
Our family has been attending Power of One 4 days a week for several years now. Among the things for which we are so grateful is the clear increase in confidence this training has allowed for our kids. We used to hear a lot of complaints about teasing and other types of social conflict. Very shortly after starting their training, we stopped hearing these complaints. It is unlikely that the frequency of those conflicts has decreased. Rather, our kids are just less troubled by it because they are more confident in themselves. Our kids say, ’it is the best. We love it. it’s really fun and the best place to learn self-defense.’
I’ve been training at this martial arts studio for over 22 years, and that alone says everything. This place is more than a gym — it’s a community, a second home, and a constant source of growth both on and off the mat. The instructors are knowledgeable, professional, and truly invested in each student’s development, no matter their age or experience level. The training is structured, challenging, and always evolving, which is why I’ve stayed committed for decades. If you’re looking for a martial arts school that builds skill, discipline, confidence, and character, I can’t recommend this studio highly enough.
My son has been training at PO1 since 2018, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Over the years, he has grown tremendously—not just in skill, but also in confidence and discipline. The dedication and passion of the instructors have played a huge role in his development, and their guidance has helped him earn his honorary junior black belt. The staff at PO1 are amazing—supportive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in each student’s journey. They create a positive and structured environment that challenges students while fostering respect and self-improvement. It’s more than just a martial arts studio; it’s a community that uplifts and empowers. If you’re looking for a place where your child can gain valuable life skills while training in martial arts, PO1 is the place to be. Highly recommend!
Power of One is the best spot for martial arts for kids and adults! Both of my children have attended classes for more than 2 years and have attended summer camp. I’ve taken the adults class as well! The class is a good, progressive mix of disciplined martial arts and FUN! The instructors know every single kid and really make everyone feel welcome, no matter where they are at in their martial arts journey. Highly recommended!
My 10 year old daughter has been coming to Po1 for 1.5 years and loves it. The boost we’ve seen in her confidence, discipline, and focus has been incredible. After a year or so, she was hesitant to advance to the next level because she was afraid of sparring and nervous about incorporating weapons to her training. In the last couple of months she’s been doing private lessons once a week with Mr. Serrano and once again her confidence has just skyrocketed. His lessons have given her the courage and confidence to try things she never thought she’d want to do and also try things she didn’t think she’d be good at which is huge progress for her. My favorite thing about Po1 is the way they really get to know each student and they adapt and adjust their lessons to best support them physically, emotionally, and mentally.
