He has earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from New York University, as well as a Master of Arts degree in Education from Teachers College, Columbia University, New York. Cary’s martial arts training began as a young boy in 1977 under the auspices of Juko-Kai International, a martial arts organization accredited in both Okinawa and the mainland of Japan. As an adolescent, his passion and skills as a martial artist grew and he ultimately became the personal student of Dr Rod Sacharnoski, President of Juko-Kai International. This relationship continues to this day. Cary has earned a 10th Degree Black Belt in Aiki-Jujutsu (Jujutsu), as well as a 9th Degree Black Belt in a variety of other Okinawan and Japanese martial arts. Cary is founder and president of Fukasa-Ryu Bujutsu Kai, a martial arts organization that is a member of the International Okinawan Martial Arts Union and is accredited and sponsored by the Zen Kokusai Soke Budo/Bugei Renmei. At present, Cary conducts an extensive programme of group classes for adults and children at the JCC in Manhattan, a state-of-the-art fitness and cultural facility located on the Upper West Side of New York City. Cary is fluent in sign language and conducts specialized classes for children and adults with physical and cognitive challenges, including autism and cerebral palsy. Among the martial arts he teaches are Aiki- Jujutsu, the Samurai sword (Iai-Jutsu and Ken-Jutsu), Karate and Toide (Okinawan throwing and grappling). At other venues, such as United Cerebral Palsy of NYC, he designs customized programmes and provides staff training, individual instruction and conducts clinics for schools affiliated with his own organization.
