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.29.5.07

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.

The Calasanz System

THE CALASANZ SYSTEM™ blends the best parts of these disciplines into a unified whole. You can try all of them or concentrate on one that is most appealing to you. Again, the choice is yours. There is so much in this system to choose from.
For instance, if you are interested in fitness, you may want to focus on Aerobic Isolation & Isometric. If you’d like to experience the boxer’s workout without having to get into a ring to fight, American Boxing may be for you. This program includes the exercises boxers use to burn calories, work different muscle groups, and is an excellent cardiovascular workout.
If you’re a competitive boxer or MMA competitor you may choose to do some of the Aerobic Isolation & Isometric exercises to improve your muscle endurance, cardio, strength, flexibility, and speed.
If you’re looking for practical self-defense, Street Survival may be for you. If you have a black belt in karate, you may choose to round out your training with a softer style like Wing Chun Kung Fu or learn the strong grounding techniques of Chinese Boxing. If you’re looking to get into great physical shape, American Kickboxing may be for you.
Whether it’s THE CALASANZ SYSTEM™ as a whole or one of its components, you’ll never be bored! Let Calasanz and his Certified Personal Trainers create the program that’s right for you.
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.
