Bruce Daniel Calkins
10th Degree Black Belt, Grand Master, The Golden Dragon Dojo of Fusho-Satori-Ryu Karate-Do. Soke Calkins has been in the
Martial Arts for over 38 years. Soke began his training in 1968 with Sifu Lei
Tai Soong of the Toledo Kung-Fu Academy in Toledo, Ohio.
Due to the extensive traveling of his family Soke studied in several
styles over the years. Soke Calkins's Step Father Played Professional Baseball
and this moved him around a lot.
Soke stayed with Sifu Soong until 1970 and reached the rank of Red Sash
in Shaolin Kung-Fu and the 5 animal styles. Soke's favorites were the Crane,
Snake, Monkey, Mantis and Monkey. This training was full time and even at the
young age Soke was dedicated to his training. With the support of his parents,
Soke trained sometimes 5-6 days a week with Sifu Soong.
Later Soke
did other training in Kung-Fu adding to this training In
his early teens he began training in Qi-Gong. With Soke's feelings about
hurting people he began training in Iron Shirt Qi-Gung. A mystical style that
leaves the body able to receive the hardest blows with little or no effect.
This way Soke could take the hits and not get angry from Pain. It kept his Mind
clear to talk his way out instead of having to hurt someone. This style of
defense was important to Soke. With Iron shirt he could get hit and not have to
hit back. Later he learned other ways of doing the same thing.
In 1976 Soke
was in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. and trained under Master instructor Tamio Kamura at
the "Way of Life" Dojo. This Dojo Trained in Aikido. A new way to not
hurt. Soke was impressed by the use of the others movements to defend instead
of hard contact defense. Soke Trained here until 1978 when he was awarded his
1st degree black in this style.
In November
of 1978 Soke found himself in Garland Tx. Here he met Master David Frost of the
Black Star Ninjitsu Academy. This was a live in academy and Soke lived and
trained at the academy for until August of 1979. Soke's Mother was taken from
this world when He was very young. Soke was raised by his Grandmother who also
supported his training and helped him live and reach for his dream.
Soke Calkins
trained on his own for a few years passing on his training to all who were
interested. In 1980 Soke formed the style of Golden Dragon Karate. A Blend of
his training over the years. Soke taugh in several
other Dojos learning their style and adding it to his own.
In 1994 Soke
Calkins met Sensei David Mason in a style called Yami-Umi-Do. Yami-Umi-Do was
formed by Shihan Mark Wagner of Rochester, NY and Sensei Mason was one of
his student Instructors. Soke was impressed with Sensei Mason's
teaching style and ideals. Sensei Mason invited Then "Sensei" Calkins
to teach with him in N. Chili, Ny. Sensei Mason also held a Black Belt in
Isshin-ryu Karate under the teaching of Joe Jennings.
Working with
one of the instructors of Yami-Umi-Do, Soke also trained in the style of
Ryu-Kai a blended style called "Style of Styles." Soke achieved a 2nd
Degree Black Belt in this system.
In 1995 Soke
met and taught with Sensei Robert Koch of Warrior Self Defense. A Kenpo
Instructor in the I.K.K.A. system of Ed Parker's Kenpo Karate. Sensei Koch
was impressed with Soke's ability to work with people and specially Children.
Soke became Sensei Koch's Head Youth Instructor and helped open and Manage
Sensei Kochs New School in Alden, NY. In all of my years of training I
would have to say that... "My time spent with Sensei Robert Koch was the
best Martial Arts Experience of my life." "Robert Koch is one of the
best trained Martial Artist I have ever had the honor of training with and I
feel his traning increased my ability and speed
100%."
In the Spring of 2001 Soke had a slip and fall
that broke his back at L5-S1. This put Soke out of training for a short while.
Soke tried to get back to training in Spring of 2003. During this time he
studied Manuals and other systems and worked on creating his own system.
blending all of his training and ideas his finally found what he was looking for.
In the summer of 2004 Soke after all of the years found the name
for what he was going to teach and formed. "Fusho-Satori-Ryu"
"The Art Of Unborn Enlightenment". Looking
back on the teachings of Master Bankei (a ZEN Monk). Showning
the "Action without Action" ideals. Soke has been teaching the ways
of Mushin (no Thought) for over 25 years and this is just what he had been
talking about.
Master Bankei's word for the ultimate reality is the
Unborn (in japanese fusho)
and those who are illumined or enlightened (have experienced what in ZEN is
called satori), like the Taoist Sages, manifest pure spontaneity.
Bankei describes to an acquaintance who was a devotee of the Martial Arts what
it would be like to fight after satori: "When without
thinking and without acting deliberately, you manifest the Unborn, you won't
have any fixed form. When you are without fixed form, no opponent will exist
for you in the whole land. Not holding on to anything, not relying one-sidedly on
anything, there is no 'you' and 'no enemy'. Whatever comes you just respond,
with no traces left behind."
Master Bankei
teaches us that to not react but to respond is the ultimate action of inaction.
To change with every situation and not be bound to a fixed system. (Much like
the ways in Bruce Lee's Jeet-Kune-Do)
Master Bankei
says: "The Sage has no ego and so does not deliberate. What the Sage does
is to respond with Absolute Sponianeity to the
conditions in the world."
For over 38
years Soke Calkins has worked to bring the Best of the Martial Arts World to
you. And He Will never Stop !!!
on August 18th 2004 master Instructor Bruce D. Calkins was
honored by the Sokeship council of the "Eagle
Federation" as "Shodai Soke" Founder of Fusho-Satori-Ryu.

many country on relaxation method with Tai Chi.

a grand master also Clifton Sealy. But thought out his training Grand Master clery always felt that something was missing and seeing
them master teaching they own newly form fighting style he knew he had to
develop his own with a different.
So he created Gee-Ryu
Karate-do the word Gee comes from his pride and joy his wife Genitha that have always supported his karate training.
Gee-Ryu means “To elevate the
whole man . “Gee Ryu karate do is a heard and soft
style with street fighting moves and street self defense. In 2009 Grand Master

Barry Cook
Master Barry Cook began his Martial Arts career in 1979 at
the age of 9 when he started training in Judo. After 3 years he left Judo (aged
12) and joined Ju-Jitsu. 4 years later he left Ju-Jitsu (aged 16) and began
Shotokan Karate and then in 1990 Master Cook left Karate (aged 20) and joined
the Martial Art that would dominate his future, Taekwondo. Then in 2003 (aged
33) after 13 years in Taekwondo, Master Cook was strongly advised to opened a
school because of his knowledge base and Martial Arts history. In 2004 Master
Cook began studying Hapkido, which he continued until 2009. Master Cook agreed
to open a school, but believed he could offer more than just a stand alone
Martial Arts style, so he began formulating and developing a Martial Arts
method of his own utilising his knowledge and
experience and his achievements of attaining 6 Black Belts in 6 different
systems.
Two years later in 2005, the foundations were set and the development of his own Martial Arts system was
ready. Over the next two years, his mission was to finalise
and prepare a top level, systematic, scientific and dynamic Martial Art that
everyone could practice and resulted in the official formation and opening of
the Cheongye Kwan Institute in 2007. Classes began in
a local Church Hall in Longton, Preston with a mere 5 students, and has now
grown to become an exceptional global Martial Art. Master Cook has had training
in many Martial Arts over his 33 years of Martial-Education.
He has also received many commendations & accolades from the world over,
including the USA, UK and Korea.
However, his proudest accomplishment is the Cheongye Kwan curriculum and system which embodies all his
lifetime of training, experience and knowledge. Master Cook now looks forward
to producing the future generations of Black Belts and Masters who will carry
the Cheongye Kwan torch forwards into the future.
From a sporting perspective, Master Cook was a Gold and Silver Medallist and is a former Great Britain National Taekwondo
Team member, competing at both National and International levels. Master Cook
is also the former Southern Technical Synchron and
Individual Freestyle Champion, which gained him a National Ranking of 3rd
overall in Great Britain, and after retiring, Master Cook became a National
Technical Team head coach and and now holds the
position of Senior Technical Advisor for a Taekwondo Governing Body.
In 2012 after running and developing the Cheongye
Kwan for 7 years, Master Cook decided to approach a global Martial Arts
registry to have the Cheongye Kwan officially
recorded and bound as an internationally practiced and established system of
Martial Art. Master Cook currently holds the grade of Black Belt 7th Dan and is
a published author and Martial Arts Hall of Fame Inductee, as well as holding a
PhD Degree in Martial Arts Science. Master Cook is part of a high level
International Masters and Grandmasters forum, and trains each year developing
with many of Hollywood’s outstanding Martial Arts Actors, Directors and Stunt
Choreographers in the United States, and in 2012, Master Cook was the recipient
of an outstanding Commendation award from the President of the Kukkiwon in South
Korea and also received a ultimate commendation of Lifetime Achievement Award
in the Martial Arts.

visits Los Angeles and Hollywood to work with some of the biggest names in the
Martial Arts.
