I was born to Paul W.& Janet S. Greene on April 23, 1953 at Ball Memorial Hospital. I grow up in Muncie Indiana. I have been involved in the martial arts for twenty eight years. I am the founder and chief instructor of Bushi Jujitsu, and the director of Bushi-Kai International.

I first came in contact with the martial arts at the Yorktown Martial Arts Academy. I became fascinated with the art of Combat Jujitsu and was promoted to the rank of Shodan. Besides practicing jujitsu i also studied Kempo Karate. I meet Soke Clement Riedner and became a student of Kenpo-Jitsu. I received from Soke Riedner the highest rank in the Kenpo-Jitsu system the rank of Godan.

After years of training under the guidance of many great instructor's I founded the art of Bushi Jujitsu or warriors gentle art. Bushi Jujitsu is fifty percent standing and fifty percent ground fighting. The three principles of the art are Position, Control, Submission. On August 23, 1986 with the blessings of my instructor's and students the art of Bushi Jujitsu was born.

I joined the American Federation of Jujitsu which is directed by Master Jeffery Moore. For my many years of teaching and training I was awarded the rank of Hachidan and founder of Bushi Jujitsu. I also received from Soke Riender the rank of Shichidan for the art I had founded.

My goal in the martial arts has always been and will be to teach a system/art of well balanced proficient self-defense techniques. That would empower my students with the tools needed for any overwhelming street situations.
