A PROUD COMPETITOR! Kids classes start at age 4. Every child participates! We can help them find their individual strengths while building confidence and teaching respect for self and others. We offer TAEKWONDO classes for both youth and adults. We incorporate practical self-defense, bag work, conditioning, sparring, and traditional forms to promote discipline in training.
Youth students benefit from the structured classes and confidence-building environment. Adult students report better flexibility and cardiovascular health, as well as the support of their fellow classmates. We offer RELSON GRACIE JIU-JITSU for both youth and adults. Grandmaster Relson Gracie is the son of legendary Helio Gracie, the father of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

Services
Phil Clark's Martial Arts Academy is a family-owned martial arts school that has been in business in Ashland, KY since 2004. Originally named Ashland Taekwondo Studio, we changed the name of the studio because although we are based in streetwise taekwondo, we incorporate many different styles of self-defense and techniques from other styles and blend them into our classes for well-rounded training.
We offer a 5,000 square foot training floor with plenty of room to hold two classes at the same time. Our entire floor is covered with 1/2 black mats, and our main floor is also covered with blue Swain Flexi-roll mats. Our facilities are cleaned and sanitized regularly.
When not taking class students and parents can work out in our exercise area complete with a Vertimax training system, universal weight training station, benches and free weights, tires, medicine balls, stability balls, kettlebells, agility ladder, hand pads, heavy bags, jump ropes, dip and pull-up station, and treadmill.

Masks are required for spectators at this time. The entire facility is cleaned and disinfected daily. Doors will remain open, as weather permits, to allow fresh air to circulate as well as reduce contact with doorknobs. Every night we run UV lighting and an industrial strength ozone machine strategically placed to scrub/purify the air and have been proven to kill airborne viruses.
We teach martial arts for many reasons, and our students take classes for many reasons. Our primary goal is to impart on our students lifesaving self-defense skills that we hope they never have to use. We offer well-rounded training in the forms of stand-up defense (Taekwondo) and ground defense (Gracie Jiu-Jitsu).
Our Tae Kwon Do classes are from the beginner to advanced student, from preschooler to the adult. Students learn a variety of skills, including self-defense techniques, traditional forms, sparring, and physical conditioning. Our Youth and Adult Tae Kwon Do programs carry on the character values of Lil Dragons, but the student gets more serious and disciplined in his or her training.

What a huge disappointment. took an excited and ready 4 yr old for his free trial lil dragons class, and from the reviews i had previously read, expected great things and went prepared to purchase his uniform and pay 3 mths tuition right after the class i was sure he would enjoy. WRONG...from the minute we arrived, it was extremely unstructured and undisciplined to the point that i would not allow him on the floor until teachers arrived because it was a huge class of children running and screaming with no adult supervision. when teachers did finally arrive, a shy 4 yr old tried his best to participate

I had to start my first review for the 2015 year off with one of my absolute favorite places in town!
Phil Clark's Martial Arts Academy (which I'm just gonna call PCMAA from hereon out because words) is, hands down, one of my favorite places to get my fitness on in this side of the country! You get to learn self-defense, BJJ, TKD, and you get a great workout/make awesome friends while you're at it. What more could you ask for? :D
My friend found this place when we ventured out here for rotations and told me about it since he knew I'd been on the prowl for an MMA gym of sorts
