Phil Clark's Martial Arts Academy & Gracie Jiu-jitsu


Ashland, KY - 41101 | (606) 831-3167

Details: 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 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 also were excited to become an affiliate of Grandmaster Relson Gracie, and are currently the only Relson Gracie Affiliate School in the state of Kentucky. What does this mean? Several times per year we host Grandmaster Relson Gracie, son of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu founder and legend Helio Gracie, and his son and also Gracie Blackbelt Rhalan Gracie for awesome Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Seminars that are exclusive for our students. When you visit our academy you will notice a family-friendly atmosphere. Most of the time you will see kids fresh from their class hanging around while their parents take the adult class. Egos are checked at the door as we are all here to train, learn lifesaving self-defense skills, get in shape, and help each other out. We are fortunate to have several black belt and upper belt assistant instructors who are excellent students as well as teachers. Phil Clark and Cara Clark are the academy owners. The academy is the second home for themselves and their four boys. Phil is the Head Instructor of all classes. Phil has over 20 years of training in Taekwondo and over 4 years of training in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
