in a system based out of your needs. Because Soke Calkins built it out of over
30 years of training, many different styles ideals and forms are within it. If
you like the fast paced grouping of techniques you will find more of the
I.K.K.A. Kenpo within the style. If you like the Smooth Flowing movements the
Shaolin Kung-Fu and Animal styles will be there. If you want Hard Traditional
Karate the Yami-Umi-Do and Ryu-Kai will be for you. You get to make the style
fite your needs.
Shodai Soke Bruce Calkins established the Golden Dragons in late June of 1982. Soke
Calkins began his training in 1968 and trained in a variety of Martial Arts
Styles. His training includes Kenpo, Ninjitsu, Shaolin Kung-Fu, Aikido, Yami
Umi Do and Ryu-Kai to name.
After years of study and looking for the best style… The Golden Dragon’s began
looking at "No Style" Much like Bruce Lee did with Jeet-Kune-Do. This
lead Soke Calkins to Master Bankei’s Teachings…
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." The Sage has
no Ego and so does not deliberate. What the Sage does is to respond with
Absolute spontaneity to the conditions in the world. This is where our name cane from Fusho-Satori-Ryu (Unborn-Enlightenment-Style
(or) Art)
SHA SOO DOO JITSU RYU /
MARTIAL SCIENCE
AMERICAN TEMPLE
TRAINING
By Anthony
Elam
All rights reserved.
Sha Soo Doo Jitsu Ryu was first founded
in 1983 in Morgan County, Kentucky, USA. By its founder Anthony G. Elam.
Sha Soo Doo Jitsu Ryu has been 23-years
in development and 33-years in its total study, training and ultimate creation
and continues to evolve.
The style has various techniques of
traditional styles with in it and has developed techniques, training devices
and systems along with various kata’s unique to the style.
The combat aspects of the style is derived from various systems and styles
compiled into a unique system for application in various combat situations.
The style focuses on the science of a
given technique in the aspect of training and application.
The science and application of techniques are
also combined with the medical aspects of the techniques physical application.
The style focuses on the human anatomy in
a unique way, along with training techniques that are directed at specific of
areas of the body.
We also focus on weaponry both ancient
and modern day along with various aspects of warfare.
We do not focus on the hype that
surrounds martial arts or do we profess to be better than any one else, one
styles standards can not be measured by another styles standards or methodology
for its practitioners in any effort to determine which style is best.
Our view is that all styles have much to
offer and should be respected regardless of personal opinions or due to one
individuals capabilities in combat from one style over another, due to the fact
that some from the other style may defeat others from that style.
We know that no one is ten foot tall and
bullet proof regardless of how good an individual is there is always someone
out there that has their number.
Peace and tranquillity is something we
have to bring into our lives by taking action and not just hoping for the best
and some times in order to achieve it unpleasant actions must be taken.
When looking at the four elements of
Earth, Wind, Fire and Water we are forced to look at these elements from
various perspectives and not simply with tunnel vision.
These elements allow us to set basic
standards and develop unique concepts for dealing with life’s reality without
using them to surround issues in mysticism, such as the glass is half-full or
empty.
Example
of the four elements:
1.
Earth
= Stability – Solid human values and morels – Un-movable in truth
2.
Wind
= Spirit – Adventure – Seeking out knowledge – Freedom
3.
Fire
= Purifying – Destruction – Necessity – Inspiration – Devotion
4.
Water
= Conformity – Growth – Power – Tranquillity – Depth
These are just a few ways we look at
these elements in order to apply them not only to our style “but” our lives and
to deal with life’s reality.
When we begin thinking on these things we
can see more clearly as to not only their use in the martial arts “but” their
value in life.
Sha Soo Doo Jitsu Ryu has also developed
unique names for its black belts in an effort to separate our selves to a point
from eastern traditions.
All black belts are refereed to as SHA
RYU until they have completed their 9th – study in the system then
they are promoted to Sha Poe Ryu which is the masters level of Sha Soo Doo
Jitsu Ryu.
The Sha Poe Ryu level is a unique level
that allows the individual to study various components that make up the style
while allowing the individual the versatility of grafting various techniques
into the style with proper research, medical documentation and application
drawings or pictures that illustrates the technique.
Sha Poe Ryu’s who make meaningful and significant
contributions to the system will be recorded and given full credit for doing
so.
As you can see Sha Soo Doo Jitsu Ryu is
more than ability it is also the acquisition of knowledge and understanding
compiled with training and development of the style for generations to come.
Ability is 50% and knowledge is 50% when
we combine the two we begin to step into perfection, this is the focus of Sha
Soo Doo Jitsu Ryu.
Martial arts was not developed for sport
“but” rather sport was developed from the martial arts.
Martial arts was first developed for
self-preservation then for war with the focus on how to exterminate an opponent
through various means.
Regardless of how we look at it whither
it is through the eyes of aggression or the eyes of protection the martial arts
histories have been forged in blood and perfected on the battle field in human
combat in order to subjugate an enemy to the will of the victor.
In ancient times the demise of certain
individuals or groups brought change and in to-day’s world the same concepts
apply regardless of humanities perception to war.
When we begin looking at these aspects
along with societies perception and legal ramification concerning the martial
arts we are forced to develop our styles in a fashion that creates a well-rounded
fighter who is aware of the legalities pertaining to various aspects of a given
style or system that contains both non-lethal and lethal techniques.
As dedicated individuals progress in a
given style or system they are turned into true warriors utilizing various
aspects of warfare and inventions focused on the extermination of an opponent
and / or enemy.
In to-day’s world with the legal
structure the way that it is concerning the martial arts, would suggest that
due to its penalties that some systems would soon be illegal to teach, the same
way as certain systems and or styles became outlawed in ancient times.
This type of legal structure does three
things;
1.
It
forces the system to go underground or be hidden from society.
2.
It
turns law abiding people into criminals.
3.
It
becomes shrouded in mysticism giving no clue of who teaches the art.
As this present legal system continues to
dissect the martial arts with its focus not only on control but the development
of revenue and its emphasis on safety not only for the practitioner but the
criminal as well, certain aspects of styles and systems will in no doubt come
under attack concerning excessive force used by practitioners in self
defense.
To us there is only one objective when in
combat and that is to win by whatever means necessary to survive the conflict.
This mindset allows us to develop
unforgiving and relentless reparations for anti terrorist tactics perpetrated
by individuals or groups.
This is another focus of Sha Soo Doo
Jitsu Ryu and the mindset we have adopted with in our style touching on what we
see as the way of the warrior and the path of yin and yang.

allows the SHA RYU to work off of the bodies ability to create G’s.
The SHA RYU must demonstrate that he / she can through the utilization of
hands, wrist, forearms, elbows, knees and feet strike an opponent ten times
with-in three seconds or less with good power.
4.
All
SHA RYU’S must demonstrate ten sets of the Sha Soo Doo Jitsu Ryu Magic Hand

him three times before his / her hand returns to them with-in two seconds or
less.
This demonstration is to be performed with the holding of three
0.75”x11.5”x11.5” boards held at various locations to insure that proper power

5.
All
SHA RYU’S must demonstrate their capability to direct pressure with-in the
human body by the utilization of the training device and be able to direct the
power as declared by the Sha Poe Ryu.
6.
All
SHA RYU’S must submit basic drawings that indicate the standard 40 combat
striking points and the standard 113 striking points.
7.
All
SHA RYU’S must demonstrate fighting techniques, kata’s and weapons at their
level.
SHA RYU’S must also demonstrate other
aspects of the style and posses basic knowledge concerning our healing art.
We feel that these standards are
sufficient for first study and assuring our SHA RYU’S basic capabilities.
As SHA RYU’S continue in their studies
certain subjects are outlined allowing the
SHA RYU to complete the studies while conducting research concerning the
topics.
SHA RYU’S are to keep a complete and
detailed journal of their research and findings to submit for their
advancement.
They are also expected to learn the
existing techniques for their level and demonstrate them for their advancement.
Due to the styles versatility and
technique development, we also focus on the development of training devices
that will give substantial results in the training of a given technique.
If a training device is not required then
we put an emphasis on the training method that will allow a practitioner to
master the technique while always leaving room for improvement of any and / or
all techniques.
Sha Soo Doo Jitsu Ryu strongly believes
in the concept of an open mind, when anyone refuses knowledge that brings a
better understanding they limit their own capability and deny themselves and
others the true richness of wisdom.
We would like to thank you for your
interest in Sha Soo Doo Jitsu Ryu and would enjoy hearing from you in the
future, simply e-mail us at; shapoeru@mrtc.com
BUTTHAN MARTIAL ART
By Dr. Yuree
All rights reserved.
BUTTHAN is a time honored heritage, the science
of realistic self-defense solution and enlightenment apparently called the noble
art of stopping fight from the motherland of Martial art –the Indus valley
then. It is an exercise for physical, mental and spiritual balance,
attainable through a process of inculcating self-discipline and pragmatic
restructuring of personal habits. This art of self-development is
actually the attribution of modern science, especially the principles of
Psychology, Trigonometry, Anatomy, Physiology, Organic Science, Logic, Nervous
Systems, Marma bidhaya,Yoga, etc blended with the selected techniques for
achieving desired ends have been derived from the ancient Indian, Burmese and
Tibetian Unarmed Combat and Weapon Systems. The style is purely
focused on practical combat skills yet keeping it’s all ethics and norms of
original Martial teachings and values in combination with ancient Indian
sub-continental warrior’s mind training methods.
Under the dedicated and dynamic
leadership of GRANDMASTER DR. YUREE, the founder of BUTTHAN MARTIAL
ART, the revival of long three thousand years’ Indian Sub-continental
heritage of Martial Art is taking place and gradually establishing
as the mainstream human-friendly excellent Martial Art suitable for personnel
of different age groups and geographical diversity. BUTTHAN is an attachment of
great value to the time-honoured long traditional self-defense methods and
updating most advanced research and development of science relevant to this
great Martial Art. It is also a culmination of real life experiences and
Scientific principles combining the essence of the ancient Vajromusti,Yoga,
Kalaripyte, Bando, Tibetan & Chinese Kempo, Banshy,
Marma-bidhya,Yoga, Latthi-khela, Pranayum, Silamban, Bandesh etc. and other
selected strategies.
It is different from competitive martial
art practices, which basically aim at gaining medals and points by exhibition
of skill and performance on the mat. BUTTHAN COMBAT SYSTEM
develops psychophysical capability for defending oneself effectively in
unpredictable and dangerous situations without being unnerved. This, obviously
necessitate development of body and mind which would respond and activate
promptly and proportionately to the magnitude of requirements through logic.
Thus, through various benevolent practices of this system, unwanted stress and
strain can be eliminated to avoid psychophysical fatigue. This unique system
includes Dhayan(meditation)as well for spiritual development and internal
enlightenment in the light of ancient Indian-Tibetian mystical systems.
BUTTHAN way of
Self-defence(Atharaksha) is
a progressive, benevolent and pragmatic new age system with various tools for
the advanced solution of problems related to safety, security, and health
of mankind across the globe. To cultivate and promote sense of human
integrity, righteousness, self-discipline, self-confidence, self-satisfaction,
moral value, psychophysical fitness, concentration as desired, etc. to
fight against drugs, alcohol, immoral business, etc. to attain peaceful
and graceful life for mankind, BUTTHAN MARTIAL ART would
contribute more and more in the days to come.
After the creation of a methodical strategy for the art of
self-defense, it was introduced along with ‘Kshatriya warriors’ and religious
preaching of the Buddhist monks linked it to the world by crossing the borders
of the Indian sub-continent, then the INDUS VALLEY. The art later was
nourished in the valley of Song Sung mountain of Hunan province, China in the
famous “Shaolin Temple”. Later on through different trade and cultural relation
gradually spread world wide and the Indian sub-continent lacking patronization, gradually began losing its
heritage of martial arts.
However, even after 3000 years, through his indomitable desire
and sincere devotion, Grandmaster DR. YUREE has taken a benevolent step to
revive that lost heritage of Indian sub-continental ancient Martial Arts. BUTTHAN
is a Bengali word linked from SANSKRIT word book which literally means “Defense
with distinction”, in other words, it is a revolutionary elevation of the
‘self’ above the ‘ordinary existence’ to achieve the ultimate truth in life.
This has been the outcome of Grandmaster DR. YUREE‘s devotion,
meditation, thoughts, philosophy, research and development (R&D) on martial
arts over a period of two decades.
The main Philosophy of BUTTHAN MARTIAL ART is to
reach the root of any problem and to take rapid and appropriate measures to
remedy it through logic in sortest possible time. It is seen as speedy, effective,simple
and realistic method of self-defense while it is different from other regular
forms of martial arts. It is also a culmination of real life experiences and
Scientific principles combining the essence of the ancient Vajromusti,Yoga,
Kalaripyte, Bando, Tibetan & Chinese Kempo, Banshy,
Marma-bidhya,Yoga, Latthi-khela, Pranayum, Silamban, Bandesh etc. and other
selected strategies.
BUTTHAN has now crossed the borders of Bangladesh and has taken
up strong position in various places of the world. BUTTHAN way of
martial art is an endeavor to revive the lost glory of the Motherland of
Martial art. It is a symbol of heritage, glory, honor, creativity and victory.
BUTOKUTSURU RYU KENPOJUTSU
POISON FAN
CONCEPTS
All Rights Reserved By D.K.K.C.I.
The Poison Fan Street Combat system provides
an even playing field for the small woman against a substantially larger male
or female attacker. Thus, physical expressive martial creativity is the key
element in which the female poison fan stylist uses in failing any aggressive
assault. Therefore, determining martial creativity is exposed as many forms of
significance by the poison fan stylist.
These forms of
significance are as follows:
1.
Size, Weight, & Height
Differential,
2.
Verbal &
Non-Verbal Confrontation,
3.
Weapon &
Non-Weapon Confrontation,
4.
Single & Multiple
Defensive Confrontation,
5.
Paved & Non-Paved
Area Confrontation,
6.
Cold & Warm
Weather Confrontation,
7.
Dry & Wet Weather
Condition Confrontation,
8.
Indoor & Outdoor
Confrontation.
Therefore, each form is accessed individually
and as a collective group in any violent confrontation. Yet, these eight forms
can be broken down by the poison fan stylist as primary and secondary in significance. The secondary forms consist of those obvious to the practitioner before any confrontation
occurs.
They are;
A.
Paved & Non-Paved
Area Confrontation,
B.
Cold & Warm
Weather Confrontation,
C.
Indoor & Outdoor
Confrontation,
D.
Dry & Wet Weather
Confrontation.
Thus, all secondary significance suggests
natural mental aptitude of observation and visual perception. This is not to suggest that the confrontation physical environment cannot
change from dry to wet; cold to warm, indoor to outdoor, or any combination of
such! Yet, it does suggest that the poison fan stylist must be creatively
adaptive in her defensive environmental counter-attacking skills development.
So, from the house to the car; the kitchen to
the living room to the back outdoor deck. The front door to the front porch in
the rain, snow, sleet, or hot summer sun. She must be well versed in effective
physical expressive fan motion!
This leads us
to the forms of primary significance.
They are as
follows:
A.
Size, Weight, &
Height Differential
B.
Verbal &
Non-Verbal Confrontation
C.
Weapon &
Non-Weapon Confrontation
D.
Single & Multiple
Weapon Confrontation
Primary significance forms A-D immediately suggest that the female poison fan stylist must
physically express devastatingly brutal and potentially fatal streetwise
defensive counter-striking skills.
D. Lets,
examine the multiple weapon (handgun) disarm senerio as the female stylist
attempts opening her car door at a local store parking lot at night.
Note: [Let’s be truthful about any weapon attack. If it starts at medium too long range. It can be effective in abducting any defender]!
