In Case You Were Wondering

When people come in to Calasanz Physical Arts for the first time they are never sure what to expect after stepping through the door.  We are not your normal every-day run-o-the-mill exercise facility like planet fitness or L.A. Boxing.

We are not here to count your reps as you do them or yell at you to "push it" if you are not actually working out.  We do things a bit differently here and many people are shocked or unprepared for our approach to training.  Here we teach you how to learn, how to think for yourself.  It is relatable to that old saying that 'You can lead a horse to water...'

Our programs are unique for every individual based on ability and personal interest but maintain a strong common thread in Physical Art and Martial Art.  The best way to learn at Calasanz is to come for a stint of time, be that an intensive week long program, a slower 3-month approach or simply a few lessons.  After each and every collaboration you will always leave with something new be that a new exercise, more movements in a form, corrections, or a new perspective.

People come here to take something home with them, and that is our promise and our duty to our respected students.

 

At the Martial Monasteries in China individual instruction is minimal.  The monks are given an exercise or something to practice and after the lesson are expected to practice it and perfect it on their own.  Upon the approval of their teachers and masters they are given the next lesson.

This is not far from how we operate here.  You will learn progressively as you prove yourself a ready and apt student as well as at the pace your ability and learning capabilities allow.  We do not sugar coat.  The purpose is to make sure of a few things, one that we avoid injury of our treasured students.  And two, because we want to teach it right.

While we may offend the egos of those with one's inflated, believe, it is for the best.  For example, even the most eager infant must first learn how to balance standing before he can learn to walk.
