A prisoner of war doesn't necessarily have to be incarcerated in another country. In our case, it means returning veterans are prisoners of the memories and the experience; for us, it is our program for setting such POW's free: Pugilistic Offensive Warrior Tactics of San Diego--a program that integrates veterans back to civilian life in healthy ways - as a brotherhood.

Returning combat veterans exit the military isolated and without guidance or direction on how to assimilate back into their old world. Often exhibiting aggressive behavior and symptoms of PTSD, they have trouble blending back into civilian life. Depression, isolation, lack of purpose, and a tendency to lash out are common.


They miss the discipline and camaraderie the military gave them. This lack of goals and struggles transitioning to civilian life and coping with the horrors of combat often leads the Veteran down unhealthy paths. Many have physical/mental wounds that limit the success and happiness of the veteran on a daily basis. 


We've developed a program to channel the isolation and aggression into healthy ways in the company of a brotherhood, bringing back the discipline and team they left in the service, and easing the sense of isolation.



POWSD,  founded by Todd Vance, combat veteran, is a Mixed Martial Arts method of helping the returning vet to alleviate symptoms of PTSD and the sense of isolation, depression, and anger typical of the returning vet who have been a part of the horrors of war.

Todd found MMA effective in helping his own symptoms of PTSD and living with the experience his two tours in Iraq. Knowing it could help others, Todd founded this organization with the intent of relieving the sense of isolation, aggressive behavior, and lack of purpose in others.
