What Southeast Portland Parents Are Saying About Us...
"It has changed my life for the better"
I recently started with Defend Martial Arts after being away from combat sports for several years. I restarted due to my job profession and possibly wanting to do some tournaments. I have been highly impressed with their teachings and training. Highly recommend them.
- Korey Cook
"This is the place to be"
With over 20 years of experience under Master Ken's guidance, I can confidently attest to his teaching prowess. He has been instrumental in my martial arts development, culminating in my 1st Dan black belt. Master Ken is an outstanding instructor, known for his loving, caring, and helpful nature. I strongly recommend this school to anyone seeking a comprehensive approach to discipline. Master Ken will empower you to achieve your goals, regardless of their nature.
