--Two Trinidadian martial artists encounter Kalinda --
The Kalinda dance as brought to the Caribbean slave plantations from the Kongo and Angola. In Trinidad, the Kalinda accompanied a development of the African warrior game of stick fighting and is practiced in arenas called "Gayelles".
Two young Trinidadian internationally certified, multi-disciplined martial artists re-discovered their roots in this unique Trinidadian martial art and were accepted for mentorship by living legends of the art. Follow Keegan and Benji as with humility, respect and the total commitment of the martial artist they enter the potentially lethal arena of the Gayelle which to them is like a ring of liberation, "where I am a human being and I deserve to be alive and anybody in this circle I respect because they understand the value of life."
