The Martial Arts Career of Grandmaster Cameron  

I started my career in the Martial Arts under the training of Sensei Thomas Short and trained with him for a decade spanning 1981-1991. The schools that Sensei Short opened in Indianapolis were called the School of the Red Dragon, of which there were two locations. One was on South Belmont and the other was on High School Road, both on the West side of Indianapolis. In order to spend more time training with Sensei’s top four students, of which I was one, Sensei Short built a three-car garage for us to train in on the empty house lot right next door to his house on Coffey Street. This saved time as we did not have to drive to the schools in order to train. Also, we could go out into the school next to the house and train whenever we wanted. This also helped in keeping down the boredom of being only in the environment of the other schools so that we could train better. Sensei Short trained with Sensei Dan O‘Nan who was with the Juko-Kai federation himself. Sensei Short trained with Sensei O’Nan for seven years. In 1981, Sensei Short became a personal student to Dr. Sacharnoski and worked out and trained with Soke Thomas Burdine of Lafayette, Indiana. 

After my training with Sensei Thomas Short ended in 1991, I moved to Lafayette, Indiana, to take over the management of a health club called the International Health and Fitness Center, still owned today by Mr. Paul Fortwendel, now operating under the name International Sports Clubs. I began a small martial arts class in the aerobics room of the center. A student heard me speak about Dr. Sacharnoski and said he knew the name from another Instructor he trained with there in the city. He gave me the number and I called the Soke named Dan Pate. He was a Soke under Dr. Sacharnoski but had trained for almost 15 years with Soke Burdine as he was a lifelong resident of Lafayette, Indiana, as well. I trained personally with Soke Pate for five years. He was a great friend and a great Martial Artist. I have fallen completely out of touch with him over the years.

In 1996, I open my own martial arts school in Corpus Christi, Texas, called the Universal Kempo and Jujitsu School that was on Air Line Road. The school was very successful. After two years I moved to San Antonio, Texas, and on Bandera Road, I opened another Universal Kempo and Jujitsu School. Creotology was becoming an even larger conceptualization and I needed to concentrate on the personal development side of things so I sold the schools and moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, in the year 2000, and have been here ever since. Since 1996 I have went to many seminars of other Martial Arts and learned new skills. I attended numerous workshops of self-help and spirituality. Including my own personal retreats for reflection and testing of Creotology Mental Techniques.  

In 2003, I was contacted by Soke Edward Badhing of the Eastern U.S.A. International Martial Arts Association. He advised me of their desire to extend me a membership into their Federation. After thoroughly checking them out and speaking with Soke Kanzler, I accepted their offer. Subsequent to my time spent with Soke Kanzler, I petitioned the Board for my own Sokeship in Kempo-Jujitsu. The Board agreed by awarding me a probationary Sokeship in Kempo-Jujitsu. After the two-year period, I was given Full International Status with their Federation as Soke of my own Federation and Art. It has been seven years now and I am presently still with Soke Kanzler and plan to be for life as they are an outstanding Martial Arts Federation and a first class act.
