Founder · 7th Degree Black Belt in Ko-yo-han Kong-po
Master Daniel "D-Conda" Carey, author of The Journey: To Forge a Warrior, was born and raised in Newark, NJ, where he first learned to defend himself in the city's rougher neighborhoods. For over 36 years he has practiced the fighting arts — wrestling, boxing (he holds his USA Boxing Coach certification), and since the mid-1990s, traditional Korean martial arts including Kumdo (Sword Art, 7th Dan), Hapkido (7th Dan), Tae Kwon Do (7th Dan), and Yudo (1st Dan). He is also an 8x Ultra Heavyweight Champion and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu RMNU Black Belt. His training lineage includes Grandmaster Dong Jin Kim, Grandmaster Gene T. Yeon, Grandmaster Sung H. Kim, Grandmaster Ki Sung Kim, Grandmaster Tae Byung Park, and 8x World Champion Master Robson Moura. Master Carey has instructed martial arts with passion and humility for over 20 years full-time, formerly serving as Head Coach for the Rowan University MMA Club and President of the NJ Federation of Full Circle Martial Arts. His life experience working with youth — including the NJ Juvenile Justice Commission and Intensive Treatment Units — led him to found Koyo Han Kong-po (also known as Full Circle Martial Arts), sanctioned by Great Grandmaster Gene T. Yeon as a true Moo-Do.
