Meet Powerhouse Kickboxing/Fitness founder

KONSTANTIN SELIVANOV, founder of Powerhouse Kickboxing Inc., has been studying, practicing and teaching various Martial Arts forms for over  thirty  years. Using extensive knowledge gained during that time, has combined many fighting styles into one to create Powerhouse
Kickboxing.

Always fascinated by Martial Arts, Konstantin began his journey in his native Russia in 1979, a time when Martial Arts were illegal in that country. He was brought secretly to classes at a Wing Chun school.  After years of extensive training there, Konstantin’s passion for Martial Arts and curiosity about other styles led him to a Shotokan Karate School, where he earned his black belt.

As Konstantin sought more knowledge and a better understanding of body \mechanics, he attended P.F esgaft St Petersburg State University. With Sports and Exercise Science as his major, he also underwent a Fitness Trainers program. Learning anatomy, physiology and body mechanics.

At the same time, he was working as Assistant to the Fitness Director at the Electrosila Sport Complex.

Still attending University and working, Konstantin began studying Tae Kwon Do because of the superior leg technique it offered. After he received his black belt, Martial Arts became legal in Russia and Konstantin
opened his first club.

In the spring of 1991, Konstantin accepted an offer from the Olympic Martial Arts Club in New York to become
head coach there, he and his wife made a decision and moved to  U.S. While working at the club, Konstantin added Muay Thai to his arsenal of fighting styles.


After a year, Konstantin and his wife left New York for Arizona and then Dallas, Texas, where he taught kickboxing at Guy Mezger’s Free Style Kickboxing club. Konstantin’s respected presence in the local Martial Arts community led to him being cast as IVAN in the film “Miss Congeniality”. After this introduction, Konstantin has appeared in numerous commercials and films.

Over the years, all the styles Konstantin studied began morphing into one, as he took the best parts of each and used them to create a unique and powerful style of his own – Powerhouse Kickboxing. Powerhouse Kickboxing combines the aggressiveness of Muay Thai and Tae Kwon Do, the defensive style of Wing Chun and the undisputed effectiveness of boxing hand technique to create an intense and substantial fighting style, which can be used as self-defense, or simply to provide a great workout.       

Using anatomical knowledge, years of experience as a professional athlete and a trainer, and the science of body mechanics, Konstantin helps his students achieve their fitness and self-defense goals quickly by providing personal attention and a thorough understanding of the principles of Powerhouse Kickboxing.
