Carlos
Angel Cisneros, an American, is drunk in a bar in Mexico when the bouncer
decides to beat him up and use the American’s money to buy drinks for the house.
An
elderly Filipino man named Arsenio Morales entered the bar to see the young
man’s plight. He was small, maybe five feet tall, very thin, almost emaciated.
Gray hair, and slit eyes, a small nose and thin lips. He wore a multicolored
shirt and gray trousers. In his right hand rested a cane. Made of hickory, the
cane’s crook was wider than the average walking stick. Its horn was not round
but led to a wicked point. Next to the crook and along the shaft were several
grooves designed for rotating the cane with ginger fingers. It was a fighting
staff.
Morales
rescued the young Cisneros and took him home to live with him and his niece,
Cruzita. There, for the next five years the American is trained by the old man
in the fighting technique of Morales Kali, which uses hand, sword, staff, and
mind against an opponent.
At
the end of five years, Morales instructs Carlos to take Cruzita to the dance,
but he must dress as a charo. This included a Spanish-styled hat, a silky white
shirt, a lot cut coat studded with rhinestones, tight fitting pants also
studded with rhinestones, and a pair of obsidian boots.
The
bouncer who had beaten him five years ago was also at the dance, and
recognizing the American dressed like a clown, he wanted to beat him again.
This time, the American was El Charo, and his fighting technique proved
superior to the larger brute.
There
have only been two stories so far that I am aware of.
