POW San Diego was formed as an alternative method of recovery for the returning combat veteran, using Mixed Martial Arts as a way to harness the tendency of most vets towards aggression. We use that energy in controlled and safe ways to build up our bodies, our minds, and our social world.
The sense of isolation that most vets feel is lessened when surrounded by brothers and sisters who have experienced the same horrors. POW is a safe place to be and feel surrounded by those who understand.
We work hard at rebuilding our lives outside the ring. Veterans are invited to come inside and see how others are doing it, get the discipline and brotherhood they left behind when they left the service, and join the brotherhood.
We take care of our own.
