When Master Stephen Ray was 7 years old, he witnessed how his past stepfather physically beat his mother.
He wanted to protect his mother from his stepfather but he was too young and didn’t know what to do.
However, his life changed dramatically one day when he met a Kung Fu instructor on the street.
This Kung Fu instructor trained him and helped him develop confidence, focus, and discipline.
His passion for Kung Fu led him to start watching Kung Fu movies and teaching kids on the street. And those kids were his first students.
Since then, he has become even more passionate about learning several Martial Arts styles, including Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, Jiujitsu, and more. And that was the beginning of his Martial Arts journey.
