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.))
