Ed Donnelly was born in Oregon, Ohio in 1951.  His martial arts training began when he was 21 with the art of Tae Kwon Do / Moo Do Kwon.  Moo Do focuses on street usable techniques and incorporates kicking-punching combinations and multiple-technique attacks for common sense self defense. After several years, Sensei Donnelly traveled to Rockford Illinois to train with Master Jung Moon Lee in the art of Tae Kwon Do.  Master Lee trained directly under General Choi Hong Hi (1918-2002), the father of modern Tae Kwon Do.  When Master Lee retired, Sensei Donnelly continued his training with Master Dukun Yun and Master Won Sun Jong from Rockford Illinois.  Master Won Sun Jong added Hapkido into Sensei Donnelly’s training regiment. Sensei Donnelly also trained with the leading master instructors in the country including:

• Master Jarrett in Tae Kwon Do, Judo and Karate Do
• Fumio Toyoda in Aikido AAA Tactical Coordination for Law Enforcement
• Master Philip Porter who is noted for his expertise in Judo, Jujitsu and several other martial arts

As a native Toledoan, Sensei Donnelly has helped to expand the martial arts throughout the Toledo area.  His diligent training and service to the community have led him to become an Ohio State Certified Law Enforcement Instructor who teaches defensive tactics at several area police academies. The classes that he teach include; unarmed defense against knife, club, and gun, weapons retention, weapons defense, PR-24 and all other requirements for Law Enforcement.

Sensei Bowman writes:
At USA Martial Arts Inc., we teach our students using a basic philosophy of positive reinforcement to build self-esteem, confidence, discipline, positive attitude, and values.  Our programs are designed around Aikido, Jujutsu and Tae Kwon Do.  We realize that although the ability to defend yourself is important, there are many benefits to be gained from martial arts involvement.
Our unique method of training is fun and is designed to:

• Instill A Positive Attitude
• Build Confidence and Self-Esteem
• Teach the importance of strong values and good character
• Improve concentration
• Teach self-discipline
• Develop leadership skills
• Instill respect for themselves and for others
• Improve overall fitness and coordination
• Teach valuable self-defense skills

By embodying these principles in our student’s classes, the USA Martial Arts Inc. team has made a strong commitment to today’s Martial Arts programs.  Our carefully designed program for students of all ages will improve your performance in other sports as well as improving study habits and increasing overall concentration.  In addition to this, by building self-confidence, self-respect, and self-discipline, we are helping young people to deal with the many problems they face growing up in today’s world, including drugs, and peer pressure.

Our program offers a lot more than just self-defense and physical agility.  The USA Martial Arts Program will teach the student history, values, safety, and much more.  But the best part of all is that Martial Arts will give the student self-discipline.  This leads to increased concentration at school, which often pays off in many ways including better grades.  Our programs will teach the student about setting goals, leadership, and taking responsibility.  These qualities, more than any others, will help the student ensure their success in school, college, and life.

The martial arts will also help the student develop physically.  Our programs increase speed, stamina, and strength, as well as greatly improve balance, coordination, and timing.  This will help in all other sports and activities.

Perhaps the scariest problem facing many parents today is the thought that their child might get involved in drugs.  As Police Officers, we see the number of “good kids” taking drugs at a younger and younger age is staggering.  In light of this our programs are designed to promote self-confidence and self-esteem, which gives your child the courage to say “NO” in the face of peer pressure.
