Austin Young

I have been involved with ACTIVSTARS since 2010.  I began as a student with my brothers and sister when I was 12 years old.  It did not take very long before I was hooked and I began to realize how big of an impact ACTIVSTARS Karate would have on my life.  In 2015, I received my 1st Degree Black Belt.  I continued to train and in 2022 received my 2nd Degree.  Shortly after my 2nd Degree I was hired as an Instructor.  My martial arts style is predominantly Shotokan Karate.

Through ACTIVSTARS I have gained confidence, self-discipline, respect, and have been challenged to push myself beyond my boundaries.  I am fortunate to have Hanshi Ray Wright as a mentor.  He has committed himself to teaching students for over 20 years.  I would not have grown as a young man the way I did without his guidance.  My goal as an instructor for ACTIVSTARS is to help children develop their character and gain self-defense skills all while having fun!
