WELCOME TO USA MARTIAL ARTS

The instructors at USA Martial Arts are your Personal Protection Experts. Unfortunately, the world today just isn’t as safe as it once was. When you least expect it, you could find yourself in a situation where you will need defend yourself or your loved ones.

Donnelly’s USA Martial Arts Training Center is one of the few places in the Toledo area where you can train in multiple martial arts. We offer our students the opportunity to be trained in Aikido, Tae-Kwon-Do/Karate-Do, Jujutsu, and Kick Boxing by the area’s most experienced and respected senseis (teachers). We focus our training on defense of common street attacks. Sensei Donnelly’s unique experience and training gives his students the insight and tools necessary to make them feel confident in even the most precarious of situations.

Sensei Donnelly opened his Holland Ohio location in 1993 at 6837 Angola near McCord.
Our dojo (school) offers you the convenience of both daytime and evening classes 7 days a week for the area’s most affordable monthly membership fee. USA Martial Arts offers private lessons that can be tailored to meet and exceed your needs for personal or family protection by using multiple martial arts. We would like to invite you to come out to watch one of our classes and to take advantage of a FREE introductory class. Our door is open to both novice and experienced martial artists.

Through the teaching of well informed, internationally certified instructors, the ancient ideals and techniques of martial arts are taught. Martial arts are an excellent means of exercise and self-defense. Martial arts teach courtesy, respect, integrity, perseverance, self-control, indomitable spirit and citizenship. These philosophical cornerstones of martial arts can enhance one’s personal and business life.

We believe that safety is the first priority in any martial art. Our classes always stress a safety first philosophy. We believe that martial arts can be a life long endeavor when this principle is the number one concern.

Shihan F. Toyoda, the founder of the Aikido Association of America, called our dojo "Tetsushinkan Dojo" (pronounced “Tet shin kahn”), which translates into "school of the iron mind." This indicates our commitment to training and learning. Don’t just take our word for it, read what some of our students have to say about us.

Dane Bonnigson

"DANE BONNIGSON"   WAS VOTED  "FIGHTER OF THE YEAR" and
"USA MARTIAL ARTS"   WAS VOTED  "FIRST RUNNER - UP"  BY THE NAAFS!


First Runner Up - USA Martial Arts (226 votes)

If there was ever a gym to come out of nowhere to make an immediate name in the NAAFS, it would have to be USA Martial Arts. The Toledo, OH based gym moved to the forefront as one of the top gyms in the series in 2009, now home to three undefeated National Amateur Champions.  Rick “Have A Nice” Day won the National Amateur Heavyweight Title and Dane Bonnigson repeated as National Amateur Light Heavyweight Champion, to go along with teammate Josh “Buzzsaw” Johnson’s 2008 National Amateur Lightweight Title. The aforementioned Johnson also picked up a win in the main event of North Coast Showdown 4. USA Martial Arts welcomed back another undefeated fighter when “Mexican Muscle” Tony Castillo returned to the fold and finished off the year with a win over 2009 National Amateur Co- Welterweight Champion Bryon McCroskey at Night of Champions. If 2009 is any indicator, then USA Martial Arts will be a force to be dealt with through 2010 and beyond.


Amateur Fighter of the Year - Dane Bonnigson
(305 votes)

The closest race this year was in the Amateur Fighter of the Year category, but once all the ballots had been counted it was Dane Bonnigson who walked away with his second NAAFS Achievement Award of 2009 defeating Jessica Eye by just 8 votes! After winning Submission of the Year, Bonnigson now adds the 2009 Amateur Fighter of the Year award to his impressive list of accomplishments that continues to grow. In 2009, Bonnigson handed 2008 Amateur Fight of the Year Adam Farrell the first loss of his career in under a minute on the NAAFS’ brightest stage, defeated Larry Shuck in Bonnigson’s own hometown area, and annihilated Jason Butcher in just 14 seconds to become the first ever back-to-back NAAFS National Amateur Champion. Bonnigson accomplished these accolades while still serving as a full time teacher and wrestling coach at Woodmore High School. If the past two years are just a hint to his abilities as a fighter, MMA fans everywhere should keep a close eye on Dane Bonnigson, the 2009 NAAFS Amateur Fighter of the Year.

Submission of the Year - Dane Bonnigson over Adam Farrell
(318 votes)

When it was signed that 2008 National Amateur Light Heavyweight Champion Dane Bonnigson was going to put his undefeated record on the line against 2008 National Amateur Co-Heavyweight Champion & 2008 Amateur Fighter of the Year Adam Farrell, the fans were expecting to see a treat. If the voting trends are any indication, the NAAFS Nation was given just that. Until that point, no fighter had been able to successfully combat the highly touted Farrell. Even though Bonnigson was dropped with a punch, he quickly rebounded by latching onto Farrell’s leg. He then secured a deep knee bar to pick up the 2009 Submission of the Year at Fight Nite in the Flats V.
