My son has been taking martial arts lessons at Portland Academy of Self Defense for the last 2 years, beginning when he was 5 years old. The experience has been nothing but positive. His instructor, Dave Pritchett, is knowledgeable, physically talented, and above all patient. Dave has the ability to explain complex maneuvers in a way that is easy for a young boy to grasp. Along with martial arts training, Dave also stresses the importance of concentration, respect, and discipline.

Training at the Portland Academy of Self Defense is an excellent way to get into great shape while learning valuable self defense skills. The class sizes are small which means lots of personal instruction. The environment is safe and friendly, and students move at their own pace. Highly recommended.

I needed to get in shape after an injury, and well, middle age. I tried Hapkido for the first time, and really enjoy it. Now, two years later, both my wife and I go instead of going to a boring gym. My cholesterol is way down, and I am in much better shape. The head instructor is a very good teacher, and a really low key person. Both my wife and I are in much better shape, and we enjoy the well rounded curriculum. I highly recommend Master Pritchett's classes for men and women who want to get in better shape, and learn how to defend oneself in a safe, fun environment.

With encouragement from a friend, I signed up for a Hapkido class with Master David in July, 2014. And although I was sore next morning after my first class, I knew the that I had made a good life-changing decision. Not only am I learning how to protect myself but I am making a small investment to my health and overall happiness. Master David's been really patient with me too. Great instructor and well worth it.
