Who is Master Lori Fry?:

Master Lori Fry started her martial arts career in 1983, following Chief Master Fry and
her 2 older daughters into training. By September of 1985 she was a 1st Degree Black Belt,
and sitting in a meeting with Chief Master Richie and Chief Master Fry overwhelmed 
with the fact that they were being placed in charge of the Newport School and tasked 
with carrying on its rich martial arts tradition.

Martial arts schools depend largely for survival on their junior programs, building strong
relations within the community, and a reputation for helping children learn self-esteem,
self-confidence and basic defensive skills. Master Lori Fry jumped in on day one and has
built the Master Fry Defense Systems Junior Taekwondo Program into a trusted element
of the Northern Kentucky community.

As Senior Vice-president for Master Richie Defense Systems, and Senior Master Instructor
for the Martial Arts Network, she has worked to train future leaders and preserve the
efforts of her seniors to keep the arts efficient, safe and above all traditional.

Master Lori Fry has seen her efforts flourish through the success of their 3 daughters,
two 4th Degrees and a 3rd Degree Black Belt, and now the oldest grandson a 2nd Degree.

In October of 2009, she was inducted into The Master Fry Defense Systems Black Belt Hall of Fame.
