PUBLISHER´S MESSAGE
Life is full of paths, sometimes we can move in straight lines or sometimes we can go around in circles. The truth is that at some point we return to our starting point. We always want to look once more at the place where we had our childhood, where we played with our friends, or where we gave our first kiss of love. By policies of the Cuban government, I can not enter my country until 8 years have passed. However I received a humanitarian permit and I could return to my country for a month. Returning to your place of origin after so many years always brings with it endless memories and sensations. When I took the first step on the floor where

I was born it was enough to feel my whole body shaking with emotion. Cuba is a country that changes little. Many say that is frozen in time. For martial arts this happens as well. What the US calls the old school, in Cuba people continue to train with the same fever of the 70’s and 80’s. The truth is that the martial arts on the island keep an exquisite essence to old. It gave me great joy to see my old students how despite the time and the difficulties of life they keep training, the new students made me very good impression, they have that spirit of beginner (soshin), that you want to know everything and you are attentive and focused on each explanation, this energy is always positive in a class. I wanted to share with readers of Martial Science Magazine my trip to Cuba, because despite the dojos look damaged, its walls DECEMBER/2016

with humidity marks, old uniforms , or simply do not have, there is something left And is Kokoro (heart). They have hearts to embrace the martial arts in a way rarely seen in modern times. Each student gives the maximum in each training despite the difficulties of a poor country and where the economic conditions are not the best, the effort of every Cuban martial artist knows no limits and they always seek to perfect themselves in every aspect of Budo. That’s why I share this Japanese phrase, which covers the whole concept. Gambatte Kudasai (do not give up, goes forward)

Happy Birthday Bruce Lee! The acclaimed actor and martial artist would have turned 76 years old. Thanks GrandMaster Lee Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

Sensei Lorenzo Sandoval is a very dedicated teacher in that he believes that martial arts is an important aspect of everyday life. He believes through teaching a student’s dedication and hard work it can build your character as well as your personality. At the young age of 22 years old he started his Karate program at the recreational centers and from there it grew into a full time dojo. He went to school for Kinesiology and a minor in Biology and Art at UNLV and CSN. During that time as well he traveled the world competing and testing his skills against elite competitors and had aspirations of being a USA Karate athlete. He has fought in many events and won several. In 2003-2004 he won the FSKA World championships in Kata and Kumite and the same year he won a Gold at the Karate National

championships. He also has fought in japan and several countries to represent himself as a decorated champion and though to him they were not major events, it is important factor to his credentials as a martial artist and his experience to his success. Sensei Lorenzo Sandoval although trains competitors as a hobby and a passion, he does not believe that competition should be everything a martial artist should learn life concepts in the modern world. He has many great teachers that has helped him progress as a Karate instructor such as Hiroshi Allen, James Tawato, Catalin Negaeu, and as of now Tokey Hill who is the head coach of the USA Olympic Karate team. He also believes that through service and training great classes to our students is such an important factor in developing young responsible balck belts in the Las Vegas community. DECEMBER/2016

I am still learning about myself. My favorite quote is: “A man who conquers himself is greater than one who conquers a thousand men in battle”
He have lost to many different people and never considered it a loss. His brother told him that there’s always someone better and to learn from it. Train in the Dojo as if you’re are there on the floor. This is how he have trained all hislife. He still lose and He still is learning about himself and how his mind and body need to connect. His Sensei STILL corrects him. He is motivated and NEVER going to give up. He does his best to achieve his goals. And he is still learning about himself. He enter every division he can and he gives the youngsters a run for their money.

Teachings of the Budha Finding a New Spring [Perseverance]
O
nce upon a time a certain tradesman was leading a caravan to another country to sell his goods. Along the way they came to the edge of a severe hot-sand desert. They asked about, and found that during the day time the sun heats up the fine sand until it’s as hot as charcoal, so no one can walk on it - not even bullocks or camels! So the caravan leader hired a desert guide, one who could follow the stars, so they could travel only at night when the sand cools down. They began the dangerous night time journey across the desert. A couple of nights later, after eating their evening meal, and waiting for the sand to cool, they started out again. Later that night the desert guide, who was driving the first cart, saw from the stars that they were getting close to the other side of the desert. He had also overeaten, so that when he relaxed, he dozed off to sleep. Then the bullocks who, of course, couldn’t tell directions by reading the stars, gradually turned to the side and went in a big wide circle until they ended up at the same place they had started from! By then it was morning, and the people realized they were back at the same spot they’d camped at the day before. They lost heart and began to cry about their condition. Since the desert crossing was supposed to be over by now, they had no more water and were afraid they would die of thirst. They even began to blame the caravan leader and the desert guide - “We can do nothing without water!”, they complained. 44
Then the tradesman thought to himself, “If I lose courage now, in the middle of this disastrous situation, my leadership has no meaning. If I fall to weeping and regretting this misfortune, and do nothing, all these goods and bullocks and even the lives of the people, including myself, may be lost. I must be energetic and face the situation!” So he began walking back and forth, trying to think out a plan to save them all.
The boy lifted the hammer over his head and hit the rock as hard as he could - and he himself was the most surprised when the rock spilt in two and a mighty flow of water gushed out from under it! Suddenly, all the people were overjoyed. They drank and bathed and washed the animals and cooked their food and ate.
Before they left, they raised a high banner so that other travellers could see it from afar and come to the new spring Remaining alert, out of the in the middle of the hot-sand corner of his eye, he noticed desert. Then they continued on a small clump of grass. He safely to the end of their journey. thought, “Without water, no plant could live in this desert.” So The moral is: Don’t give up too he called over the most energetic easily - keep on trying until you of his fellow travellers and asked reach the goal. them to dig up the ground on that very spot. They dug and dug, and after a while they got down to a large stone. Seeing it they stopped, and began to blame the leader again, saying “This effort is useless. We’re just wasting our time!” But the tradesman replied, “No no, my friends, if we give up the effort we will all be ruined and our poor animals will die - let us be encouraged!” As he said this, he got down into the hole, put his ear to the stone, and heard the sound of flowing water. Immediately, he called over a boy who had been digging and said, “If you give up, we will all perish - so take this heavy hammer and strike the rock.”
“Don’t give up too easily - keep on trying until you reach the goal”.

Photos By: Henry Binerfa
Henry : Hello Sifu Justin and welcome to Martial science Magazine , thank you for doing a interview with us . Justin : Thank you for allowing me to be a part of such a great Magazine , it is my honor Sensei Henry . Henry : We have covered the Babao Arnis seminar for you before and found the Babao family to be very skilled , humble and generous with technique and concepts . I could not make the November 13 , 2016 seminar however , I was happy to do a interview with you to find out more about your last seminar with Master Narrison Babao and about your school , Creative Warrior Academy of Las Vegas . Justin : yes, you know Sensei, you and your magazine are always welcome at my seminars and my school , its nice to have a publication such as Martial Science Magazine to connect the martial arts community around the world like this , much respect to you . The Babao seminar was awsome as usual , I cant put into words how grateful and appreciative I am to the Babao family . Their continued support of CWA has been a blessing and honor . Hosting GM Zena Babao , Master Narrison Babao and the Babao family has been a true adventure and learning experience for myself and my students .
Henry : At the last Babao seminar I attended Master Nar assisted by his brother Maestro Kris Babao covered some double stick drills and the Babao Arnis angles , defenses and counters . Afterwards they taught some flow drills with the stick , and finished up with a demo and explanation of Eskrido . The demo was performed by GM Ted Sotelo showing the close quarter capabilities of the art of Eskrido . Can you tell us a little about the seminar in November , 2016 ? Justin : I would be glad to Sensei , Eskrido is the art founded by the late great SGM Cacoy Canete in 1948 and was added to the Babao Arnis system by the late great GM Narrie Babao founder of Babao Arnis . Eskrido is a fantastic art , and is used primarily as a close quarter (“Corto� in Visayan ) system and was the focus of this seminar . Master Nar , who was promoted to 8th grade Senior Master in the Doces Pares system in 2013 , taught a very detailed and informative workshop , everyone had a great time and learned a ton of material . I really like the way Master Nar goes into detail and explains the versatility and variations of each technique , it helps me to understand the technique and how it functions . Henry : That sounds great , I wish I could have made it this time . Tell us more . Justin : The seminar began with a sinawali warm up drill .
Sinawali ( also known as penki-penki ) are double stick drills designed to enhance right hand -left hand coordination , speed and timing . Next we covered linear verses curving strikes and did a striking warm up called “ amarra “ learning to twirl the stick properly and effectively . Master Nar then went into the Doce Pares 12 strikes or angles , accompanied by the defenses and counter strikes . After a short break we went into a drill called hubad-lubad ( which translates “tie-untie” ) , with a variation stopping the low strike and another passing it , which is a technique called “palusot” . Our seminar was finshed off with Master Nar adding to the flow some of his personal favorites which are wrist and arm locks such as “ kote , gaeshi , nikyo , and sankyo “ which are from Japenese Aikido techniques and added by SGM Cacoy Canete . All in all it was a really wonderful experience , Master Nar and Auntie Zena are just amazing martial artists and people , they have my eternal gratitude . I have to thank Sifu Jack and Master Bennett for helping with the facility where
the seminar was held , Master him to draw knowledge from Bennett’s World Taekwondo in . I also trained there with Sifu Las Vegas . Jack S. my Kung Fu Master who is trained under GM Wai Henry : I can see you guys had Lun Choi as well as GM Inoa great time and covered a large santo .

creativewarrioracademy@yahoo.com Henry : What made you want to teach the arts and start a school of your own ? I know teaching isn’t easy . Justin : I know when I was fighting in tournaments Sifu Jack told me he was going to start teaching me to teach . He said he saw something special in me , my reply was “ Me ? No way Sifu , I just like training and competing .” Years later I realized how he was right . It was after my Aunt Nancy Cataldi passed away and I returned to Queens , NY my birthplace for her ashes ceremony . They also named a street after her , one block of 109th st where it intersects with Jamaica ave is now called Nancy Cataldi Way . At
that street renaming I met people from all walks of life that my Aunt helped , they were all there to honor her ! There was hundreds of people there and they all shared personal stories with me about my Aunt helping them . I was blown away literally . I got to thinking , if I died today who would say I helped them ? I realized I needed to be in the business of helping people and the only way I knew how , was to help them through the arts . After all the arts really helped me grow and mature in so many ways . That’s when and why I founded Creative Warrior Academy of LV and I hope I have helped people the way my Aunt and my teachers helped me .
Henry : Thats a really touching story , its very inspiring , if people want to contact you , how can you be reached ? Justin : They can call me at 702302-3926 , they can email me at creativewarrioracademy@ yahoo.com or facebook me at Creative Warrior Academy of Las Vegas . Henry : Thank you Sifu Justin for your time , we at Martial Science appreciate you coming to our studios . Justin : The pleasure and honor are mine Sensei Henry until we meet again , Live well , and train hard my friend
