"Mark"Mark Ryder

Mark is a second degree black belt in Shotokan Karate. He began his studies in the mid - seventies under the direction of Kazumi Tabata, Nagao Matsuyama and Sam DeMarco. He has been instructing men, women, children, and college students in the martial arts since 1980.

During his studies at Northeastern University's College of Criminal Justice, Mark taught karate at Tufts University for Sensei Tabata, while also teaching his own students in Chelsea, MA. In 1984, Mark graduated from Northeastern University, pursued a career; and continued teaching karate at a number of private karate schools for many years. His interests in the martial arts and physical fitness lead him to more in-depth studies of fitness, nutrition, and dietary supplementation and a career in Personal Training.

In 2005 he obtained his Personal Training Certification through American Fitness Training of Athletics, a course study based on the philosophies and practices of the American College of Sports Medicine.

Mark enjoys educating his clients about fitness and often combines his personal training session workouts with a mixture of strength training, martial arts, sport drills and functional training.
