Prof. Castoldi is a real survival story. At a young age he suffered from Polio and doctors told him if he survived he may not be able to move around properly. He began his martial arts training when his sister dragged him into the YMCA and introduced him to weight lifting and a Karate class. Prof. Castoldi slowly began understanding the martial arts system and began training in karate and kung fu simultaneously. He overcame the Polio epidemic with no problems to his movement and soon enough he was training in seven different styles of martial arts all at the same time. He would go from class to class and have each of his teachers yell at him because one of the styles he was taking would be the complete opposite of what he was learning in their class. One style said be fluid and loose while the other style said be firm and rigid.
In 1978 the 6’4” 225 lbs Dave Castoldi was introduced to the 5’3” 110 lbs Prof. Wally Jay who needless to say, manhandled Dave Castoldi. It was here Castoldi began training with Prof. Jay and integrated everything he had known into what is now Castoldi’s Street Self Defense System. The key to this system is practicality. drawing heavily upon the principles of Professor Wally Jays Small Circle Jujitsu.
Castoldi’s style works for everyone: men, women, and children. Women have found great confidence in learning the style because it teaches them self protection from all situations, including rape attacks, multiple attackers, and weapons defense.
Castoldi is world renowned for his weapon defense techniques because he has introduced weapon disarmament and developed it throughly.

Dave Castoldi au travail

Merci Alain génial, super, sauf que ici c'est le forum de l'Ecole FRANCAISE de Budo . Sympa pour les anglophiles mais pour les Français, on en trave que dale..

Pour résumé, en jujitsu et d'autres disciplines martiales il pèse très lourd aux états unis

A peu près 150 kilos pour 2 mètres 10. Je suis tout petit à coté.

C'est bien ce que je disais

A ce jour Dave Castoldi a dirigé quatre stages en France et déjà formé une dizaine de ceintures noires.  Je suis désolé de ne pas venir plus souvent dans cette rubrique mais vous pouvez la compléter
