About Us...

McDowell's Martial Arts Academy practices an "American Freestyle" system known as Ashite-do, or "The Way of Foot and Hand". Ashite-do is comprised of three major systems ( Kenpo, Shotokan, and Tae Kwon Do) for our form system. Ashitedo also encompasses techniques from other systems such as Kung Fu, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Aikido, Judo, Chin Na, Wing Chun, Boxing and Wrestling/Grappling for our sparring and defenses.  It is a black belt school that teaches setting and achieving goals by advancing through a colored belt system. McDowell's Martial Arts promotes success in life by applying the principles of black belt excellence in every aspect of day to day living. Training in the martial arts has always been a proven way to develop confidence, self esteem, discipline, and moral character. It's also an excellent way to strengthen and condition the body and to improve balance and coordination. We are committed to providing quality martial arts instruction to each and every student by placing a strong emphasis on discipline and respect. We look forward to serving you.
