Don “The Dragon” Wilson (wiki), an American champion kickboxer and the star of Hollywood action/adventure films, including Roger Corman’s Bloodfist series, is in Russia’s Siberian city of Yakutsk right now.
He was invited by Yakutsk-based martial arts guru Tselestin Tsykhtsinski, the founder of Gen-Shin-Kan ju jitsu style, to give master classes in the Gen-Shin-Kan dojo (training center) in the course of 4th – 8th August, 2012.
I was a little involved in the visa support process, so I was pleased to visit one of Don “The Dragon” Wilson’s trainings.
See my photographs taken yesterday.

What is Gen-Shin-Kan?
Gen-Shin-Kan is a Ju Jitsu style developed by Tselestin Tsykhtsinski (yeah, this man of honour was born in Yakutia and lives in Yakutsk, Russia). If to be exact, it’s a way of ju jitsu training.
I am not an expert, so I could explain what a big difference it brings to the world. The fact is that Gen-Shin-Kan popularity is rising fast. Annually Gen Shin Kan World Cup is arranged around the world. The previous one took place in Croatia. The next one will be held in Portugal.
Gen-Shin-Kan has affiliates in Europe, America and Asia.
