Susan Shen

Sports Performance Coach

Susan started martial arts in 2002. She was addicted from her very first class. Training 5-6 days a week and 2-4 classes per visit to POW, Susan’s martial arts skills were cultivated by her motivation and adoration. She has studied kung fu, boxing, kickboxing, krav maga, muay thai and jiu jitsu. She has focused her training on kickboxing and jiu jitsu, but attends and trains in the other areas as well. Her experience in the martial arts and exposure to a new lifestyle lead Susan to change careers. She spent many years working as an art director and graphic designer for FTD Flowers, but martial arts made her realize she would rather work in the sports/fitness industry.
For the past 6 years Susan has been working as an instructor and free-lance art director.   She excels at teaching boxing, kicking, yoga and strength/conditioning classes.  In the past few years she has dedicated herself to getting a masters in sports psychology, sports performance and corrective movement training.

Since then, Joshua has served as an assistant wrestling coach for his high school, Plainfield South and continued to train in a wide variety of martial arts including freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling, Japanese jiu-jitsu, muay thai and western boxing. Although he is still a devoted student of the martial arts, Joshua combines many aspects of the his traditional martial arts training into his youth fitness classes and POW!’s birthday party curriculums.

Joshua brings an athletic energy to POW! Kids. It is clearly seen when you watch him teach his favorite baseball and football drills during the POW!’s Fit Kid Camps and birthday party programs. Besides his love of sports and martial arts, Joshua has a passion for music. He plays the cello, french horn, bass and guitar.
