Master Ray started martial arts at an early age. He studied Kung Fu for five years until he moved to America in 1996, where he began his study of Taekwondo.
He was the head instructor at a local New Jersey Taekwondo school from 2006 to 2020, where he played an essential role in running and teaching at that location. He has traveled to many states to compete and has won numerous medals in sparring tournaments across the US.
He is also an expert in Krav Maga and trains with Grand Master Jiho Choi to keep expanding his perspective in Taekwondo. Patient, gentle and kind with children, he models the discipline, respect, focus and concentration Taekwondo demands.
