Y.O.U.TH is proud to partner with Double Dragon Kenpo Karate — New Student Registration
Where basics become instinct.
American Kenpo in the Parker/Planas lineage, taught at the Y.O.U.TH Center on SE Stark St. in Portland. Head instructor Sifu Martino is a 3rd-degree black belt with 30+ years teaching experience.
Every student trains under the same curriculum — the intensity scales to the student. Kids build focus, confidence, and respect in a structured, encouraging room. Adults learn practical self-defense they can count on, plus the conditioning to use it. Technique and control come first, and everyone moves at their own pace.
