Coaching 3 Lady Martial Artists

 Commentary taken from an Audio Recording of Calasanz:

Coaching vids:


 

The movements when I coach them, the movements.  



Remember head movement is 98 percent of the battle of you not getting hurt.  That is head movement.  That is why no one who trains within our system gets hurt.  Its because of head movement.  Closing the gap, the best defense, the best grounding, the best balance, that is the Calasanz System.  To see them doing a Thai boxer's block so well.  The balance they could present.  To see them clenching a fist or doing a side kick or breaking a board, they were and they are excellent.


But then as you watch these 3 girls, Jenifer Lee, Lisa C., and Amanda P. .. to see these people getting coached, Lisa, with beautiful front kicks and round kicks.  That is martial art.  There is a kick over there delivered by Amanda, it even nearly got me.  I mean, she is a lady that can fight that the kick was so hard, so well delivered that anyone who gets hit by it.. oh my!  Her leg is so powerful and the kick is delivered so well according to body anatomy, it is passing through someone, it is not just making contact.  I mean, just.. Wow.  And that is done by Amanda P.  The same thing with Jenifer and Lisa.  Some of those attacks they were delivering to me, and am I just to trying to imagine what they are really capable of if pushed too far.. I don't even want to think about.  Anyone getting hit by those strikes is in serious trouble.




Just describing and following and watching what these ladies are doing in that video, during that show during one of those Saturday Night Fights that we used to have.  That alone makes any instructor or anyone, any audience member to get excited, to get inspired.  Incredible.  And that is what we did and what we had back then.  Because we were at that time when we did those shows, we were beyond, and we did not understand, we did not care, leaving everything other than the reality of what is beautiful, the reality of Martial Arts.







  And that is the story of that video, of those 3 girls.
