They are teaching a technique at the workshop called, "The male and 

female winged fighter."  They have said that this technique is "proper" 

(belongs) to the death defier.  It is one of two that will be taught 

which came from that source.



In the private group 1 Carlos was emphasizing how timid we are.  He gave 

the example of Cancer and fatal viruses saying that we were so timid that 

we accepted that some things were permanent.  Then he said that the 

technique I mentioned about was for "changing grooves" (grooves, 

groves???), like skipping from one record track to another.  Thus if you 

found something wrong with your body, even a handicap like fused spinal 

vertibrae (someone in the audience asked specifically about this), you 

could change grooves and be free of any handicap or life threatening 

situation.



The start of this technique has a movement where you pick up the leg 

(from a horse stance) and loop it up and back down, like the Tekki series 

Katas of Japanese Karate (somewhat).  Carlos demonstrated how you can 

change grooves with this movement by jumping to the side.

The First Movement of the Male and Female Winged Fighter

((I got the title as:  Male and Female Winged Fighters, plural))

[This pass pertains to the Death Defier]



Horse stance

Inhale, bringing arms forward, hands up; bring arms out full 

length in front with palms vertical, thumbs up, about 6 inches apart, 

and bring them into the body at the middle of the body between the

umbilicus and the ribcage [pancreas, liver area]. Really push the balls 

of the hands into your stomach Do this 3 times

Now the third time, make a big effort to exhale completely

[the chacmools made a big point to try and get rid of as much 

of that stale air in our lungs as we can]



((Exhale as completely as possible on all three breaths,

but make an extra effort on the last one to get it all out.))



Really push the hands in on this last breath, and actually

bend over a little, crunching your stomach

Next, while holding the hands in tightly to the body, 



((in the same hand position you ended up in on the breaths))



put weight on right foot

Now, slide left foot into right, turn it inward, and pull

it up along the right

lower leg to the knee level; now bring it out and back down

to the ground

making a circle [think of it as making a scooping motion].

the whole time the left foot is facing forward

The left foot should turn inward so that the instep slides

up the right leg



((At one point, the bottom of the foot may be facing the

right leg.  Keep the toes pointing straight forward,

don't let them angle upwards or downwards.))



Make 3 of these circles

Now do 3 scoops with the left foot without stopping



((In other words, don't return your left foot to the

ground until the end of the third scoop.  Yes, this

requires lots of balance.))



Continue to hold hands in position

Next without stopping, do 3 continuous scoops with the right foot

Finish up with 3 single scoops with the right foot

Back to horse stance with hands down at sides

Breathe normally during the scooping movements



((We were shown several further fragments of this movement,

but it never came together as a whole, to my disappointment.

Now they say they are going to complete it in Scottsdale.))
