YouTube is full of martial arts video: nonetheless the number of decent clips about good quality kickboxing is scarce. I recently found this video and I was impressed of the quality and the rich variety of the techniques used to cause the many KO you will see. Good boxing with nice, tight guard, axe kicks, hook kicks, spinning back side kicks, quite an amazing repertoire. Any comment is, as usual, appreciated:
CARISMA took part to a sport demonstration organised by Cambridge City Council at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge. Six of us prepared and performed a half an hour demonstration that shows some aspects of our training: regimental training, pair training, different styles of sparring and Multicombat for street fighting.
The resulting demonstration was good although the light and the position of the camera affected the quality of the foootage we managed to capture. I am pleased with the overall result:
I would like to thank personally and on behalf of the whole club for the effort and hard work that all members put in this project that are: Georgios, Heley, James, Robin, Rosie and myself. A special thank you for Caroline who assisted us there and was presenting and commenting our show.

Toward the end of the first training session of the Summer Camp 2009 we started chatting during cooling down and we came out with this random list of good reasons to be here:
Best wishes to those that are back in Cambridge from the Summer Camp 2009 group: Mark, Adam, Heley, Georgios, Linda, Ronnit, Wez, Chris W., Andrea and Massimo.
CARISMA recently commissioned the production of a short clip that represents the essence of its training and spirit. BCTODAY, a professional agency specialized in video production based in Turin (Italy) was selected for this job given the professional experience I had with them during one of my previous jobs.
The result is stunning and I am very pleased of it. Any comment to this post will be highly appreciated.
Many thanks from me personally and on behalf of the whole club for the effort and hard work all members put in this project. Special thanks to Piero Masi (cameraman) and Stefano Giovannini (director of photography who actually did the filming following Piero’s suggestions) who flew to Cambridge for a day, spent many hours in Adembrooks hospital as Piero’s suffered of a kidney colic in the middle of the night and still managed to deliver some amazing work. Also a big thank to Emanuele Mercadante for the great editing work.
CARISMA will take part to the Cultural Olympiad Celebrations held at The Corn Exchange theatre as shown on their web site.
A small group of CARISMA member will be selected to represent the club in the half hour shows to be held on Sat 25 July between 11:45 and 12:15.
