Angela Batiste 4th Dan
Ms. Batiste was introduced to Tae Kwon Do in 1990 at age 19. Her father, Master Ronnie Ramsey who currently holds a
6th Dan Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do thought it was time to add a female to the rankings of the family. She has several
family members that have studied Tae Kwon Do. During her 12 years of training, the experience and knowledge of the
art that she has achieved has made her a better person in life.

As a martial artist, she respects all styles. Ms. Batiste keeps an open mind knowing what might not work for me can
benefit the next person. She earned her nickname "Sho-Nuff" in 1999
