Colleen Wing's dojo in New York is not a real place. The name translates as "Power" from Japanese, which sounds a lot more ominous in English (as it should given that it's a feeder for The Hand).

Interestingly, it also shares a name with a super-hero influenced wrestling promotion - ChikaraPro - where CM Punk once worked as an indie star. That promotion is about as close as you're likely to get to seeing real life superheroes bounding around gleefully.

Incidentally, there is a Chikara Dojo in Spennymoor in the North East of England. It's not quite as glamorous as place as New York.
