History
Established in 2007.
SwiftKick Martial Arts was founded by Owner and Head Coach Brian Cowell in January 2007. While attending graduate school at SDSU, Brian started teaching martial arts to kids at a church in the Rancho Bernardo area. Starting with about 25 students, the program more than doubled that year. In 2008, word of SwiftKick Martial Arts spread and Brian started a program in Carlsbad. In August of 2010, SwiftKick Martial Arts Rancho Bernardo moved into its own retail location. Three years later, SwiftKick Martial Arts Carlsbad moved into its own retail location in August of 2013. Now, SwiftKick serves over 270 students at both its San Diego locations. SwiftKick is focused on changing lives through the power of martial arts. SwiftKick helps clients set and achieve personal goals and get results in their martial arts training, in their personal health and wellness, and in their personal and professional life endeavors.
