Sifu Ray Khan
Co-founder & Instructor
Over 40 years of dedicated training and teaching in martial arts have shaped Sifu Ray into a distinguished master with a unique approach to martial arts instruction. His journey began in Guyana, where he was first introduced to Karate. This early passion led him to explore various martial arts, including Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do Concepts, Kali, Silat, Jun Fan, Muay Thai Boxing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
After a stint in the Marine Corps, Sifu Ray transitioned to a career as a special education teacher in Miami, incorporating martial arts principles into his classrooms. His unique approach not only enriched the classroom experience but also demonstrated the broader application of martial arts in education.
Sifu Ray’s professional journey extended into the corporate world, where he accumulated over 20 years of entrepreneurial and fitness expertise with Fortune 500 companies such as Liberty Media, Liberty Global, and Starz Encore. His diverse background in both education and corporate fitness has equipped him with a unique blend of skills, enriching his approach to martial arts instruction and leadership at Shinbu Dojo.
