Master Raymond Fortenberry

I started training in Taekwondo in 1985. I was able to vastly expand my martial arts knowledge upon entering the U.S. Air Force in 1988. From the 1990s to the present, I have been studying many different martial arts that I have incorporated into my teachings.
On August 2, 2013, I was promoted to 7th Dan Black Belt. On December 16, 2013, Grand Master Phillip Poe of the International Fighting Arts Affiliation in North Carolina certified Full Circle Martial Arts. Sadly, Grand Master Poe, who was one of the significant mentors in my life, passed November 14, 2023. I have been married to my wife, Jenifer, a legal professional, for 13 years. Together we share three children and three grandchildren. I have recently become a homeschooling dad to our 11 year old son. In addition to teaching martial arts, I am an active member of our church, and enjoy fishing and working on vehicles. Opening Full Circle Martial Arts has been my goal since moving to Crawfordville in 2012. I look forward to developing a long-lasting relationship with my students and the greater community. |
