Anecdote on Calasanz and Dennis White

This footage is taken of the man Dennis White and Calasanz. The footage takes place after students from Calasanz School and students from another martial arts center went head to head.  Calasanz shown here with Dennis is trying to get a small shot of footage with Dennis so it can be used in a commercial. Dennis as you can see is seemingly scared to throw a real kick and towards the end quits from being toe to toe with Calasanz, even just for show.

So the story goes that about 6 years before this day Dennis as an accomplished martial artist and respected fighter had come to Calasanz for a fight and stepped into the ring with Calasanz. After a short time Dennis went for a leg sweep nearly felling Calasanz. Calasanz regained his footing and lost it.  He approached Dennis in passionate fury and contacted Dennis with several strikes but without fully connecting them through his opponent so as not to hurt him.  All Dennis could do was utter the words, “Please don't kill me.”

This is why Dennis seems apprehensive when working with Calasanz.
