Professor Steven Dowd started his martial arts

discipline, or the spirit to represent his families art. Being
his senior student, Prof. Dowd wish to carry on his beliefs and
the art as he would have done so himself.

1970's at Subic Bay Naval Station in the Philippines. He has taught law enforcement
self defense for the Los Angeles community college, military police, women groups

credit. He has also created over 15 websites for well-known martial arts individuals
and groups, book and magazine companies, and movie companies. Professor Steven
