In 2005, at the age of 42, Grandmaster Frazier managed to work into his, already full, martial arts schedule, a personal training regimen resulting in national, double-gold medals, in sparring and breaking, at the United States Taekwondo Won National Championships in Anaheim, California.

It is plain to see that Grandmaster Frazier is an accomplished instructor, but he has also coached 325+ competitors to tournament gold, and his coaching has led to over 800 total medals. In the year 2000, he wrote his own competition training manual for both novice and elite team competitors. He has coached his son to 47 gold, 12 silver and 5 bronze, with one Grand Champion in Poomsae, and coached his daughter to 22 gold, 9 silver, and 5 bronze. Since his dojang began, he has entered competitors in 46 local, regional, national and international taekwondo and hapkido tournaments, Junior Olympics and Senior Nationals, and received many plaques, trophies, and certificates along the way. He has had two Grand Champions and two runners up. And even though his dojang was growing, and boasted of maybe 100 students max in those days, his largest competition team at one tournament was over 70 competitors. Not too shabby.
This man of many talents and a tireless work ethic, has also directed and choreographed his state-of-the-art demonstration team, since it’s introduction in the year 2000. They have performed over 100 shows with 150+ members over the years.

It goes without mentioning, that to be a successful coach, Grandmaster Frazier would be savvy to the tournament rules and regulations of every competition his school entered. So it follows, that he would study to become a referee, and did so in 2002. In 2004, he received his international corner, center, and chief referee certification in taekwondo and since then, has served in that station, countless times. In 2013, he became a Class B-1 International referee in Hapkido and refereed as such, in an International Hapkido Tournament, that year. It is important to note that he was selected to be one of three referees considered qualified to judge the first ever, 2010, Olympic-style poomsae divisions at the 2010 USAT Oregon State National qualifier. He again served as referee in the same tournament the following year. He has been selected to judge Grand Champion poomsae at national, state and regional tournaments, at least a half a dozen times, in the last 12 years.
