I met Frank Shamrock at the 2005 Universal Martial Arts Hall of Fame.  You couldn't meet a nicer guy -- just don't meet him in the ring!  On the right is Master Brian Blauser, Sensei - Chief instructor for the Golden Dragon Self-Defense Academy, and my successor to the system.

Frank is one tough competitor. I enjoyed talking to him and learning some of his techniques.

The name Golden Dragon comes from several sources, the dragon being the culmination of all knowledge, but as a soldier on my way to Korea our ship crossed the 180th meridian and that qualified me for induction into the Domain of the Golden Dragon. From this early part of my history comes the basis for the name Golden Dragon Self-Defense Academy.

Sensei Jim Altom, Judsonia, Ark. has the distinction of being the first student under me to go all the way from white belt to black belt. Mr. Altom teaches Hapkido and earned his first black belt in Combat Hapkido and his black belt in Kenjukido Kenpo Jujitsu with honors.
