Adult Classes

Life is demanding. Between work, family, and everyday responsibilities, it’s easy to put your own physical and mental well-being on the back burner. At Portland Academy of Self Defense, we help adults like you reclaim your strength, build confidence, and be ready for whatever life throws your way.

Whether your goal is to improve fitness, reduce stress, learn self-defense, or simply challenge yourself in a positive environment, our Adult Hapkido Martial Arts program will help you achieve your goal.

Hapkido for Adults: A Modern Martial Art with Real-World Application

Hapkido is a practical, well-rounded martial art designed to prepare you for real-life situations. It’s also adaptable, efficient, and highly effective.

Our adult program focuses on:

• Self-Defense 

• Fitness 

• Mental Toughness & Resilience 

• Situational Awareness 

You’ll train in realistic environments to help you feel confident wherever you are—at work, walking to your car, or in everyday life.

It's Never Too Late to Start

You don’t need to be in shape to get started. You don’t need any prior experience. You just need the desire to try and improve.

Our Adult Martial Arts classes are built for working professionals, parents, and adults from all backgrounds. Our classes are safe, encouraging, beginner-friendly, and led by experienced instructors who care about your success.

You’ll get stronger, sharper, and more confident with every class you attend, and you’ll be surrounded by people who support your growth

Self-Defense That Goes Beyond the Physical

We teach you how to protect yourself—but we also teach you how to avoid dangerous situations altogether. You’ll develop the mindset, awareness, and decision-making skills that help you avoid trouble before it starts.

And if a situation turns physical? You’ll know exactly what to do—with calm, controlled confidence.
