The Ultimate Workout:
The Combat Conditioning Course
By Eric Thompson of POWERKICKS

Before opening POWERKICKS, I was a Sergeant in the Marine Corps. I was proud to have served in more than 12 combat missions ranging from Desert Storm to Bosnia. My main job was as a forward air controller. I would go into enemy territory and call in air strikes. In addition I was a Physical Training and Hand to Hand Combat instructor. As much as I loved being a Marine, in 1996 I decided to pursue my ultimate goal of opening POWERKICKS. “Powerkicks” was the nick name given to me when I was a
fighter in the 80’s and 90’s. At POWERKICKS we offer programs like Tae Kwon Do, Sword Classes and
Kick Boxing. More than 90% of our students are children. Many adults feel they don’t have time to commit to a martial arts program. Over the past few years I have created a program that fits adults’ needs for physical fitness and personal protection, and fits into their busy lifestyles. This new course is called the Combat Conditioning Course. This course won’t get you ready to go to Iraq, but it will be a fun, tough
challenge. When you complete it, you will have pride and a new-found confidence in yourself. The program starts out with an Initial Strength Test so we can track your progress. This is followed by circuit training, obstacle courses, rope climbing, upper body development, running, Hand to Hand combat instruction, and padded weapons fighting. At the end of each course you will have a final fitness test and be
evaluated to move on to the next stage of your training. This course is for everyone. If you haven’t worked out in years, or if you’re in great shape, it doesn’t matter. I guarantee this course will be the most fun you’ve ever had working out. To enlist in this course or find out more details call Eric Thompson at

MAGGIE SAYS:
Here’s what one of POWERKICKS’ clients had to say : “ I chose POWERKICKS to learn discipline and self-defense. Eric is really dedicated and a really good man. He stresses that these defense skills are only to be used when there is no other option, never to go after anybody.” We know you’ll be impressed with POWERKICKS.
