Influenced by his father, a classic boxer, and spirited wrestling matches with his older brother, Ramin found early motivation to train, develop resilience, and refine his skills through martial arts. After moving to the United States as a teenager, Coach Ranjbar continued to pursue his love for martial arts while studying sports medicine, kinesiology, and massage therapy. Since joining the ATA martial arts community in 2005, he has become a respected coach, blending his academic background with decades of hands-on training to help students grow in both skill and confidence.
