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.
