The Tulen Center is SW Portland’s home for martial arts and self-defense programs for KiDS. Poekoelan training uses animal movements, aerobic exercise, and meditation to help children develop internal and physical discipline. Kids learn practical self-defense, body awareness, coordination, focus, plus compassion and respect for their teammates and instructors. Parents will see these positive skills carry over into their child’s daily life. For more information and testimonials, check out our “Kids Classes” pages: http://tulencenter.com/kids/beginners/
