As you know POW also offers an extensive self defense training program.  As the Official Krav Maga Worldwide Training center for Chicago, we have successful taught 1000′s how to defend themselves.  In order to learn how to defend your family, you need to be able to defend yourself.  Take a look at the Steve Harvey show this Wednesday, January 16th at 2pm on NBC.

POW! has offered youth boxing on Saturdays for a few years.  We are now offering a Tuesday afternoon class at 4:45pm.  There is a krav maga class for adults going on at the same time.  This is a great opportunity for you to train while your child is learning boxing.  This new boxing class is for tweens and enrollment based.  We need a minimum of 3 kids registered.  It is $60 for a 4 class card.  Parent and child program receive 10% off the total cost.   Contact us at : katalin@powkickboxing.com.

POW! Kids offers Superhero Training birthday parties.  This has become our signature theme.  A typical birthday party is 2 hours long.  It is a program driven program. It is not open play.  The program is designed specifically for the age of the birthday child and their friends.  We promise to send your kids home exhausted.

The party begins with 20 minutes of circle time.  Children sit with their instructor(s) talking about their favorite heroes and bonding with their teacher through marvelous fables and fantastic feats.  They talk about the type of training they would like to pursue throughout their afternoon together.  After the Superhero orientation the child choose their capes and accessories.  Then the next two 25 minute blocks of time are highly athletic drills featuring the skills of superheros.  Although so many skills are coveted,  the birthday child and teacher decide together on the ones they want to explore.  Depending on the kid’s  enthusiasm, we try to squeeze in another mission or tale.  With about 40 minutes left until the 2 hour program is over we encourage the parents to get their cameras ready.

Once everyone has had their Kodak moment, the children climb into their hideout for fuel.  At this point parent hand the kids their food and drinks.  The teachers continue to keep the children engaged in conversation and storytelling.  Then in the last 20 minutes it is time to sing happy birthday.

Parents can look forward to simply just throwing their kid’s plates and garbage away.  POW will take care of the rest of the clean up.  We are happy to assist with bagging the presents in larger garbage bags so they are easy to transport into your car and no special bows or cards are left behind.
