Gary R. Music – Martial Arts Master & Strength Coach

Gary R. Music is a lifelong martial artist, master instructor, and strength coach with over five decades of experience in life protection arts and physical training. Based in Mansfield, Ohio, Gary is the founder of Shurite Kempo, a powerful hard-style martial art that blends traditional karate, Taekwondo, boxing, and practical self-defense into a cohesive system. His passion for teaching and empowering others has impacted hundreds of students over the years.

Gary began his martial arts journey in 1972, earning his black belt by age 16 and continuing his education under some of the most respected names in martial arts and boxing. His training in Sang Moo Kwan Taekwondo and under Sensei Stan Hart shaped his development of Shurite Kempo, a method focused on realistic application, kata interpretation, and the principles of life protection.

In addition to martial arts, Gary is a StrongFirst Level II certified kettlebell instructor and a seasoned strength coach with a deep understanding of body mechanics, conditioning, and mobility. He integrates kettlebell, barbell, and bodyweight training into his programs, promoting both mental and physical resilience.

Through seminars, classes, and one-on-one instruction, Gary continues to share his expertise with students of all ages. His legacy is carried on not only through his personal teachings but also through the instructors he has mentored and the lives he has inspired.
