Power of One Martial Arts-Cerritos

It's easy to praise talent.

It's more important to celebrate effort.

A well deserving congrats to Ms Emma!

She kept up her Po1 Martial Art training throughout the entire summer!! There were some obstacles along the way and she showed grit, perseverance and an “I Can Attitude” to find a way to keep showing up and keep showing her joy for self-defense training.

Excellent leadership and showing by example, Young Warrior🔥🙌🤩
Keep it up!!

Strong minds are trained.

Just like strong bodies.

Many congrats to the 2026 Power of One Lakewood Black Belt Team!

The 5 individuals who stepped onto their path ( a few of them more than 11 years ago) pushed through this last weekend’s 72 hour test with much preparation, planning and teamwork. What they accomplished together began with a single step years ago! Most of this team began at 4, 5 & 6 years of age, each of them have their own story for beginning and continuing.

Never underestimate the power of many coming together for the same common goal. Their families’, teammate’s and Po1 instructor’s support played a huge part in their accomplishments & will be an amazing experience to draw from for this next part of their journey as well!🙌✨👏

Power of One Lakewood

Not every challenge has an instructor standing beside you.

That's why we teach students to think, adapt, and find solutions instead of giving up.

The best part about martial arts isn't earning the next belt.

It's watching students discover what they're capable of when they refuse to give up.

That lesson lasts far longer than any rank.

The school year is full of new challenges, but our students don't walk into them alone.

Every martial arts class helps build confidence, resilience, and the mindset to keep trying, even when something feels difficult.

Belt testing measures more than technique. It reflects commitment, responsibility, and the determination to keep improving, even when things get tough.

The habits kids build today become the foundation for their success tomorrow.

This school year, invest in skills that go beyond the classroom.
