Powell's Mixed Martial Arts Academy offers a unique and progressive approach to self defense that you will not find at other schools. With 20 years of law enforcement experience as a police officer at the Oakland Police Depart. and more than 30 years of martial arts training with 4 of Kajukenbo's top grandmasters, as well as training in Japan and at the Shaolin Temple in China, Prof. Mitch Powell, an 8th degree black belt, has a wealth of experience to draw from and truly understands what you need to protect yourself. Real fighting skills are created through repetitive movements that build gross-motor skills, accuracy, power, and speed, along with endurance and mental toughness. You really need each one to be the best that you can be and offer yourself the best chance to overcome an attack. At Powell's, we provide it all. Training includes a balanced curriculum of stretching, striking and kicking drills, ground grappling, self defense techniques, forms training, and full speed drills against a padded attacker to develop your confidence and ability for a real street level encounter. Powell's also offers a great training environment. All classes are student centered with a genuine regard for the needs of each student. Constructive encouragement is used to inspire and motivate students so that they may reach their highest potential. Our students are police officers, teachers, and businessman, as well as high school and grade school students from the community.
