"This is the perfect class"
I highly recommend Coach David and Portland Academy of Self Defense as a self-defense class for families! Coach David was wonderful with my children (ages 5 and 6), quickly making them comfortable and engaged and ensuring they felt successful
- Matthew McWade


"This is the place to be"
We are having a wonderful experience at Portland Academy of Self Defense. Coach David has the right temperament to reach our son, who did not thrive in the class structure of other martial arts studios. He is eager to go to class each week and gives 100% because he feels positively motivated. From what I can see, he has made enormous progress after just a few sessions, and it has overflowed into his behavior at home
- Laura Zubko


"Super Family Environment"
I signed my 10 year old kiddo up for Hopkido as a way to learn self defense, to focus, and get fit. They have ADHD and anxiety. David has been teaching them and keeping them in line. The routine and regiment of teaching them different moves, especially step-by-step, has been really beneficial! I highly recommend signing your kiddo up!
