Instructor:  Sensei Frank Barry

Bio:  I started studying Judo in Huntington, MA in 1966. When I joined the Marine Corps in 1970 I continued with judo and starting studying various styles of Karate and Tae Kwon Do.  I was on the Marine Corps judo team from 1973 to 1978 and was the all Marine Corps champion in 1975 and 1976.  When I left the Marine Corps I attended the University of South Carolina at Spartanburg and was on their Judo team (1978 - 1979). I continued to study other martial arts based on what was available in the area.

After entering the Army in 1981 the competitive phase of my judo career went on hold but I continued to study other marital arts.  I received a black belt in Tang Soo Do in 1985.  I continued to study various martial arts throughout my army career.   While stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, MO, I studied a mixed martial arts style with Professor Alan Gillian.  While I was a training company commander I taught self-defense and army combatives to the trainees assigned to my company.  

After retiring from the Army in 1994 I moved to Leavenworth, KS and have been studying various martial arts with Ken Baker Hanshi.  These arts consist of Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Aikido and Okinawa Kobudo. While here I studied International Tae Kwon Do with Mr. Frank Hannon who also instructs for MWR Fort Leavenworth.

I have been teaching Jujutsu for MWR Fort Leavenworth since 1995.

Throughout my martial arts career I have trained and taught the martial arts to anyone interested in studying and learning them.
