Only the Strong Movie shoot - 1993 - Calasanz and Martial Artists

Only The Strong was a 1993 martial arts movie that showcased the ancient art of Capoeira. Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines fighting with dancing, and musical and vocal accompaniment. This art originated in Angola and was brought to Brazil by African slaves in the 16th Century. Slave masters banned slaves from practicing any type of martial art for fear of rebellion. To keep their fighting skills sharp, slaves disguised this fighting art in dance like movements. In this movie, a karate champion stationed in South America for the US Army, returns to his home in America to find his former high school infested with drug dealers and criminals. He takes on a clean up project by teaching the art of Capoeira to others in hopes of eliminating the menace in his community. The movie features Mark Dacascos and Paco Christian Prieto and includes appearances by Calasanz.

Calasanz Chinese Boxing

Chinese Boxing is rooted in an ancient tradition born out of the instinct to survive in the midst of military conflict. With its origins in the famed Shaolin Temple, Chinese Boxing has endured for thousands of years and is not only the foundation for Chinese kung fu, but most martial arts that developed in the Eastern part of the world. These classical kung fu movements are part of The Calasanz System for the purpose of improving grounding and balancing skills. Chinese Boxing may be practiced as a pattern of various movements simulating a real fight for the student to achieve an aerobic workout. It may also be practiced as a fighting method.

Peter, who started training with Calasanz as a teenager, is one of his most accomplished fighters. The reason for Peter’s success is his proficiency in Chinese Boxing. “The grounding and power that is generated from my Chinese Boxing training is tremendous,” says Peter. “The Chinese Boxing workout is a complete form of self defense and an effective way to train the entire body.” Peter should know. As a 14 year old, Peter knocked out a grown man in a kickboxing competition. He attributes his success to Calasanz’s teaching method and his direction in applying Chinese Boxing techniques to the contemporary fighting arena.
