You talk a good show for someone that has never seen me in person. You talk about some Basic Videos I put on my web.. Yes they look Basic... Why... Because I Said "THEY ARE FOR MY STUDENTS AND WERE MENT TO BE BASIC!!!" I never claimed that they were top level techniques or the best I have to offer. I said that they were Basic Takedowns I was working with a Kyu Rank Student for my students benifit.Bester said:Everyone in WNY I spoke to about him either a-didn't know who he was, or b-thought he was a nut.

I lived in a dorm from Nov 1975 - Aug 1976Ā Ā I missed the areas school entry date so I was going to have to take the years grade over again anywhay so my Mom and Dad Let me go there
As a high grade, your basics should be exceptionally well-honed, and this should show in your movement. What I saw didn't appear to be the movement of someone trained in such techniques for 3 good years, let alone 30-something. Sorry Bruce, but I really don't think those videos did you any favours.BruceCalkins said:You talk a good show for someone that has never seen me in person.

Soapy Calkins said:As for these 20 schools... It is easy to put out a number without any names. I would love to hear some of the names. I could name schools all over WNY that I work with and guest teach at.. I do seminars and train with. It seems funny that they would have me at their schools for all of this if I was such a Joke.
Pinochio Calkins said:So far everyone that has posted about me has never met or worked with me and most of you have the fact that you never could back up your words because you are in Japan or the UK. For this I say all talk. If you ever met me or had the time to train with me you would find out that you were mistaken.

From the Website:
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.
It's probably just me.
I believe that was the one.Tripitaka of AA said:Aaron, the BJJ website referred to is Subfighter.com (or could be, perhaps there are more).
If you run a Search on "Calkins" then you'll see he has become a byword for a certain type of martial artist. In fact his name is mentioned so frequently that I expect to find it in dictionaries in the not-too-distant future. Fame and Notoriety are of equal value to someone suffering from Munchausen's syndrome are they not?
The cartoons, Photoshop collages and general abuse go back to his first arrival on the board as a ... contributing member ... earlier this year (about 4 months before he turned up here). The members there have developed a twisted affection for this gentlest of men, and appear to think of him as one might think of those strange white-faced people with baggy trousers and red noses that you see at a circus.
Not helped by pictures from his own website that have no need for any editing at all...
That thread is too funny. Well, when the morons there focus.BlackCatBonz said:they have one of bruce's certificates up on bullshido.....specifically the one from the ninja academy......and the date on it is aug.8, 1976
