Ray Carbullido

Sifu Ray began his training in Guam where taught Icho Ryu Aikijujutsu and Swordsmanship under Sensei Luis Cabral and Sensei Andrew Rania. In 1995, Sifu Ray moved to Hawaii for college and met Sifu Chris and has had the privilege of training with all of Sifu Chris’ main teachers .  Shortly after, in 1998, Sifu Chris officially named Sifu Ray the Head Master of Dragon Gate Sanctuary.  Since then, he has moved the school to its current location, the Shingon Shu Temple in Honolulu, and has dedicated his life to sharing his kung fu (hard work) with the world.  He has traveled to places such as New Zealand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, China, Peru, Colombia, New York, Arizona, and California and continues to do so to share his training, knowledge, and life.

Sifu Ray also owns a successful, Honolulu based, creative consulting firm called Madskill.  According to Sifu Ray, Madskill is a way for him to express and test his skill in a practical and real world.  He founded and built the company on all the same principles and philosophies that have been passed on to him by all his teachers.  Sifu Ray continues to explore ways for him to express his kung fu to demonstrate the relevance of the knowledge that he cultivates and shares to everyday life.  “True mastery is when one expresses their knowledge of their craft in every facet of life.”
