The Golden Dragon Dojo is a constant growing system, combining the best of the Martial Arts community.
Shodai Soke Bruce D. Calkins has worked for over 40 years cross training in different systems, earning multiple Instructing ranks and titles. Bringing it all together for the Golden Dragon Dojo. With one purpose in mind. To create a Street Smart Martial Arts System for today's Streets.
We of the Golden Dragon Dojo feel that Martial Arts is truly more than just a fighting style. More than just a Physical Training. But an Attitude and life style. Built to train the mind and body.
We work with a modern method we like to call.. "The Self Method"
"Self-Esteem", "Self-Confidence", "Self-Awareness", "Self-Discipline" and then "Self-Defense"...
We train our students in Teamwork, Goal Setting and our instructors work on reaffirming family values and family bonds. When working with the young Lil' Dragons you will hear things like... "Lil' Dragon's Always Put Things Back Where They Belong." We do this to train them in putting their arms and hands back into the start position. But if.. and when it spills over into everyday chores it is always a plus. What you will "NOT" hear in the Golden Dragon Dojo is... Negative Attitude Statements to either students or staff. Positive Attitude reinforcement is our key. The Golden Dragon Staff is trained to help our students find the best in themselves.
Here at the Golden Dragon Dojo we have designed a system to fit everyone. From the Young, to the Young at heart. From the Physically Fit, to the Disabled. Everyone can train to feel safe on the street. With our "Kick Above the Waist, is a Waste" attitude and the simple movements, this system is right for everyone.
