Coach David was wonderful with my children (ages 5 and 6), quickly making them comfortable and engaged and ensuring they felt successful. For the adults, his teaching was exceptional: he explained specific techniques clearly, but, more importantly, he heavily focused on core principles.

We are having a wonderful experience at Portland Academy of Self Defense.

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.

I look forward to continuing my journey in self defense here at the Portland Academy of Self De... read more
