Professor Ryan Angell started his American Kenpo training over 20 years ago when he moved to Los Angeles from his native Seattle and found The Martial Science University™ (MSU). Although having studied Shotokan, Wing Chung and Kali, prior to coming to Los Angeles, he soon fell in love with American Kenpo under his new instructor and student of Ed Parker Sr., Dr. Ron Chapél.

Mr. Angell has been under the direct instruction of Dr. Chapél ever since, and continues to train in Sublevel Four Kenpo™ to the present. He is one of Dr. Chapél's senior and accomplished students, and currently is The Dean of Education, entitled to the title "Professor" and the rank of 6th Degree Black Belt, "Master of the Arts."

Through Dr. Chapél's over 40+ years in law enforcement, Professor Angell has been involved in the training of celebrity security details as well as federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. He also holds certification in Advanced Field Tactics for Arrest and Control.

Recently, while maintaining his training and teaching at The MSU, Professor Angell has had formal training in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
