Who is Master McDowell?

Did you know that Sidekicks has a 6th degree black belt Master McDowell?

Master McDowell is from Jamaica, and started his Martial Arts journey there, via self training. After trying various martial arts disciplines, it was Taekwondo which became his lifelong passion.

At home in Jamaica, he continued learning Taekwondo on his own. He practiced long and kept up the discipline required to advance in ranks.

GMO met Master McDowell on one of his early trips to Jamaica. When Grandmaster Orange arrived at the Taekwondo training center, he was surprised to learn that the students there had been without an instructor for a couple of years.

Master McDowell was already a black belt at the time. He and the other Jamaican students of Taekwondo, asked Grandmaster Orange to be their instructor and teach them the forms. That is how Sidekicks Jamaica started.

Master McDowell has dedicated years of physical and mental training in Taekwondo. He’s now a 6th degree black belt, and eligible to test for 7th degree black belt. He loves teaching Taekwondo. Currently, he’s teaching at Sidekicks Georgia. He enjoys sharing the lessons of perseverance and indomitable spirit.
