Ryan Kingery began studying martial arts with Brock Brown in the summer of 1999 through a program he offered at Greenfield-Central High School. Ryan has since developed a dedicated focus to the martial arts, and a solid life-long foundation with his instructor and friend Brock Brown, as well as his fellow students. Aside from Chung-Do-Kwan Tae-Kwon-Do Ryan's other disciplines include Haragei Ryu Jukido, a bit of Brazilian Jujitsu, and training in an integrated fighting system which combined Jeet-Kune-Do with several styles of Kung-Fu. Ryan's occupation as a police officer allows him to utilize practical applications of his martial arts training, and gain experience and know-how from the situations he encounters.
