"I started my martial arts training in the late 60's. My training included the disciplines of Taekwondo, boxing and Shotokan Karate. Additionally, I study Judo during the early 70's, which broaden my martial arts knowledge foundation and increased my overall awareness of the Arts. During the mid to late 70's, I received advanced training under the directions of "Renshi" Ernest Parker, Jr., in the discipline of Sim-Do (Korean) and further my advancement in Shotokan Karate. Renshi Parker introduced me to his instructor during the early 80's, "Kyoshi" Freddie L. Giddens, "Teach", who later became my mentor and senior instructor when Renshi Parker was relocated do to his military obligation.

"I began training under "Teach", who is the Founder of Teach's Universal Martial Arts Association (T.U.M.A.A.). Teach had combined the Art of Sim-Do, Boxing, Karate, Judo, Kendo under T.U.M.A. Teach had exchanged his experience and knowledge with Grand Master Ed Brown, the Founder of Black Knight Karate Association, GoJu and Great Grand Master "Shidoshi" Ron Van Clief, Chinese Goju. Teach had trained for many years and had oranized and conducted many tournaments, demonstrations and seminars with Grand Master Brown. In addition, Teach utilized his specialized training and experience to engage Shidoshi Ron Van Clief to deliver martial arts seminars to Army Soldiers and their families in Korea and Hinesville, Georgia. In 1996, I had the opportunity to advanced my skills by observing Shidoshi Ron Van Clief during his presentations and seminars in Jacksonville, Florida.

"My training in Hapkido started in the mid 80's under Sensei Melvin Cauley, who at the time was training under the leadership and directions of Teach. I am training again in Taekwondo with 'Master' Keith Jenkins of Hinesville, GA. If it wasn't for the effort of these respectable martial arts masters, I would not be the martial artist that I am today. To everyone who helped me along my way, I say thank you! My goal in the martial arts is to learn as much as anyone is willing to teach me, to gather as much knowledge as possible, and to share my knowledge and experience with fellow martial artists."

"One of my greatest achievements was to proudly send six of my students to the 16th United States Junior Olympic Taekwondo Championships in 1996. These six people were: 'Renshi' Terron Frazier, 'Sensei' Trinity Hicks, Michael Ferrell, Sandi-Lee Lowder , Marcus Tigner, and Steven Volpe."

"Another one of my greatest achievements was to proudly send the following students to compete in the 1999 U.S. Open N.K.K.U. Jr./Sr. Invitational Semi-Finals Olympic Games: Quintell McAdams (Youth - Yellow Belt), Alberto Manuele (Youth - Yellow Belt), Lauren Gordon (Youth - Yellow Belt), Rachel Geary (Youth - Yellow Belt), Jonathan Baker (Youth - Yellow Belt), Kyle Kennedy (Boys - Yellow Belt), Thomas Gordon Jr. (Boys - Orange Belt), Joey Gordon (Boys - Green Belt), Jamie Wright (Boys - Green Belt), Chris Boney (Boys - Blue Belt), Jennifer Groover (Womans - Blue Belt), Onder Ansary (Mens - Blue Belt), Elisha Brown (Girls - Brown Belt), Steven Volpe (Boys - Brown Belt), "Sensei" Princess Frazier (Girls - Black Belt), "Sensei" Trinity Hicks (Girls - Black Belt), "Sensei" Chris Chaplin (Executive Mens - Black Belt), "Kyoshi" Ronald Frazier Sr. (Mens Masters Black Belt Division).

Another great achievement of mine was, as of September 25, to become Master Instructor of the Year in the United States W.A.M.A. Hall of Fame.

The greatest gift given to me was life by God and the blessing by him to achieve what I have and the gift of the woman that keeps me strong, my wife, "Sensei" Sharon D. Frazier along with my sons, "Renshi" Ronald Jr. & "Renshi" Terron Frazier, daughters, Crenese & "Sensei" Princess Frazier and a host of family and friends.
