Powell's Way of Kenpo 1921 South Mannheim Road, Westchester, IL 60154

"Showed up when I was a 21 year old kid with no direction. What I learned and experienced at PWOK has changed me forever. I’m now a 34 year year old man with a growing family and teaching my toddler how to hit a heavy bag. I no longer live in the state, but the incredible instructors, each with their own unique insight, have planted a seed that keeps growing to this day. Much more than punches and kicks taught here. Forever grateful to have found my way through that door."

"Absolutely the BEST place to learn Kenpo karate, Brazillian ju jitsu, reality self defense in one place that I've ever experienced. Best instructors, best training for life long skills. I trained there for about 3 yrs when they first moved to Brookfield and learned more than I could ever list in a review, not just techniques but ways of thinking, observation, readiness, REALITY karate. I live out of state now but think of them often. Can't thank Sensei Bill enough for all the great lessons learned. Shout out to Dave, Sean, Barb, Vic, Jimmy, Al also.Best wishes to all. BTW; There are no 'mean' instructors. Karate requires discipline to succeed. It's a martial art not a marital art. :-)"

"This place rocks, the instructors are incredible and very patient with the kids. I have not seen a better business yet. They give you 3 free classes to try before you buy. They teach actual self defense and not just how to score points. Love their approach and it's only $80 a month for 3 classes a week. They cannot be beat."

"Amazing teachers, I myself am a student and I send my oldest son. I will be sending all my boys once this old enough as well."

"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. Along with the phenomenal instruction you will also get a great workout, along with exercises that will condition your body and improve coordination. We have both signed up and will be attending indefinitely."
