Challengers Welcome - Part 1

Calasanz Physical Arts and Martial Arts Center in Norwalk has been teaching and training some of the best Martial Artists in the world since the 1970's.

People come to challenge the master when they cannot even defeat his students.  The clock strikes high noon while the best fighters in the area walk through the door unannounced.

Here is the story behind Darrel Dash and Dennis White.



Daryl Dash, in the white shirt with flat-top, was the first Black Belt under Calasanz.  He was known at this time for having the fastest head movement and his devastating countering ability, known as the master of counter.  Calasanz himself admits that if he was not 100% when working and moving around with Daryl he would have been in trouble.

Dennis White, in the full gi and beard, had an extensive Martial Arts background fighting people in schools all around the country.  For example, he had a 7th degree black belt in Judo but that is really only scratching the surface of his training.  This day he came with his Master and fellow students to the Calasanz center unannounced.

This group, from Stamford, made their living and their name by going to other schools, challenging them and converting students after showcasing their skills.  They were great fighters to be able to do that.  On this day at the Calasanz center they would be disappointed after their efforts.

Calasanz, without fore-warning, of their arrival had only his students in attendance to enter the fray while most of his best students were not present at the time.  Still, having faith in his system and his students he put them to fight.

Enjoy the fight, comment and like!
