Kickboxing and The Calasanz System integrated!
The Calasanz method of kickboxing integrates the use of knees, elbows, shins, hands and feet. It is the blocking system devised by Calasanz that has made The Calasanz System very effective in that it utilizes the use of the legs, arms and shins as simultaneous blocks and strikes. Calasanz Kickboxing places strong emphasis on head movement and protecting oneself from injury. Calasanz’s students are known for the destructive power in their shins and their ability to apply the blocking system as an impenetrable fortress against the opponent’s attack.
Rodney, one of Calasanz’s most accomplished fighters, attributes his skill to Calasanz’s blocking system. “I find that I don’t have to absorb as many kicks and punches because the system gives me the tools to deflect attacks without getting hurt.”

Calasanz Informational Post
If you’ve lived in Fairfield County, you’ve seen the commercials and are familiar with the Calasanz name. Even if you’ve never set foot in a martial arts school, you may know someone who trains there or has trained there in the past. You may even have been thinking about checking out the school for yourself. Many of you however may not be aware that Calasanz has been around since the early 80’s. You also may not know the history behind the man and the system that built one of the most successful martial arts businesses in the country.
A native of the Dominican Republic, Calasanz recalls his early martial arts instructors and classmates as being “brutal fighters.” “You have to understand,” says Calasanz, “that the men I trained with were from bad neighborhoods where fighting was vicious.” “You proved your manhood by being a brutal fighter.” In the 70’s, the martial art schools in the Dominican Republic were places were men engaged in “all out” battles. When you sparred, your opponent was out to kill you. No pads, no referee, no waivers of liability. It was just you and some monster.

Calasanz took his first class, learned a handful of basic movements and went home. For three months, he perfected what he had learned with the goal of returning. On the day he went back, he fought with everyone. No one touched him. The basics he had mastered were quick, strong and simple. One of the black belts he had knocked out that day showed up at Calasanz home later that day to watch him train. It was Calasanz method of physical conditioning that took his karate to a new level. Calasanz continued his martial arts studies, as well as the conditioning regime that put him ahead of his classmates. Unbeknownst to him, he was also laying the foundation to what would later become The Calasanz System.

Calasanz came to the
In the 90’s, Calasanz began welcoming more families. Children’s classes grew. Men were looking for something more than the standard health club and women were getting into the picture with aerobic kickboxing. Fortunately, The Calasanz System is so flexible that it accommodated the needs of any potential student. Calasanz prides himself with being able to tailor his system to meet his students’ needs. While he still trains the fighters, boxers and law enforcement, Calasanz has been able to make his system accessible to anyone regardless of physical ability.
In addition to a successful martial arts school, Calasanz has also created an in-home training program called The Perfect Fit TM. The Perfect FitTM is a division of Calasanz Karate & Kung-Fu System, Inc. and offers personal training in the privacy of clients’ homes or at the Calasanz school. Through his experience, Calasanz discovered that martial arts can be intimidating to many people, therefore, they lose interest in learning more about it. The Perfect FitTM eliminates the feeling of intimidation, yet offers the complete benefits of the martial arts. Calasanz created a well-rounded system which offers, at the same time, extensive exercise routines tailored to the needs of any individual to accomplish and complete a work-out and, at the same time, target specific areas in need of exercise. This type of training is different from the traditional routines followed in a gym. The Perfect FitTM personal trainers do not use equipment except for free weights and, for some people, ankle weights. For those who prefer to use their own exercise equipment, personal trainers incorporate this equipment into the client’s exercise routine. Eventually, most people prefer to learn more and more of the exercises offered by The Perfect FitTM because they are incredibly effective and cover more ground than any one machine used in a traditional gym. These exercises quickly increase flexibility, strength, stamina, and endurance.

Calasanz Bio -- The Begining
Calasanz was born in the Dominican Republic, the sixth of eleven children. His parents owned a farm and had high expectations that their son would one day run the family business. In addition to working long hours on the farm, Calasanz did very well in school and took on the responsibility of protecting those around him who were the targets of gangs and bullies. Because he came to the rescue of those who were victimized, many of the townspeople loved and respected him.

Calasanz System - Street Survival
Calasanz’s dynamic system of self-defense known as Street Survival applies martial art techniques for use in the streets. The student gains skill and develops endurance as he progresses through the various defensive methods. Street Survival orients the student to practical responses to self-defense situations where a traditional or classical martial arts response would be impractical.
Calasanz has also developed Self Defense for Law Enforcement, which is specifically designed with the needs of law enforcement professionals in mind. In a non-competitive environment, Calasanz guides officers through a series of controlled techniques designed to develop, sharpen and maintain defensive skills. Law enforcement professionals are taught the essential tools unique to The Calasanz System, that can be instinctively activated when confronted with a threatening situation. Control by “oral means” is enhanced in a combination of multiple scenarios. Handcuffing techniques are also practiced.

Calasanz American Boxing Systems
The principles of kicking and punching in a competitive style are taught to get the student accustomed to facing off with an opponent. American Kickboxing used to be practiced by kicking above the waist and punching to the head. In the last 5 to 10 years, it has evolved into a more complex exchange where low kicks, and knee and elbow strikes are also incorporated. Calasanz requires students to undergo hours of drills and combinations before they progress to free form fighting. American Kickboxing as it is taught at Calasanz should not be confused with fitness or cardio kickboxing, as it has become known in the fitness industry. Techniques are always taught with self-defense applications in mind and a concentration on developing good form.
Tommy, one of Calasanz’s most loyal students has been diligently training in the American boxing system for years. He discovered Calasanz after leaving his health club. He was looking for an exercise regime that would keep him physically fit as well as present him with a challenge.
Calasanz Fight Club
| The training regime of the boxer and kickboxer is great way to exercise. It's also a fresh break from the mundane world of stair steppers, rowing machines and stale weight lifting routines.

The Legend
Renowned as a hero in his native Dominican Republic, Calasanz firmly believes we all have the power to transform our lives, if we’re willing to commit ourselves to the process.
“The integration of mind, body and spirit does not come from throwing yourself into grueling training sessions that cause burnout. Rather, it develops over time, as you patiently make your way through discipline, focus and determined work. I will teach you to reach deep inside yourself to master each new level. More patience and more inner strength are necessary to reach each successive goal. As you develop greater and greater martial arts maturity, instead of seeing a kick or a punch, you will see a way of life. You will become more patient in your work and home environment ... more self-confident ... you will develop the perseverance to achieve your highest goals in life. This is true transformation.”
Calasanz is a Martial Arts Master who has spent a lifetime studying and teaching Karate, Kung Fu and Kickboxing. He has combined not only his Martial Arts mastery, but his training in ballet, gymnastics, weight and fitness counseling, into an absolutely unique system that has the capacity to help you create the body you’ve always dreamed of possessing, while it trains your mind and spirit to excel.
Calasanz has, for twenty years, trained young and old, professional athletes and dancers, law enforcement officers and a host of individuals from all walks of life in the Way of the Serene Warrior ... a way that leads to fitness, focus, health, strength and longevity.
