Tenaga Sayaw is a name given to exercises done by some Filipino and Indonesian martial arts practitioners. The primary focus of this exercise is purely physical and not spiritual as some sources may claim. Tenega stands for the Indonesian term meaning energy, and Sayaw stands for the Filipino word meaning dance, thus the English translation of the name is “energy dance”. It is very effective because it tones the body and multiplies strength, it stimulates blood circulation and increases flexibility thus preparing the warrior for battle. Tenaga Sayaw also focuses on the study of exercises that focus on the study of tenaga dalam, an Indonesian term for life energy. Tenaga Dalam is adapted from Indonesian influence and is also referred to as “chi” by the Chinese, “ki” by the Japanese, bioelectric energy by western medicine, and “prana” by the Indians. Tenaga Sayaw believes that energy is purely scientific contrary to some factions that claim spirituality.
Other versions of Tenaga Sayaw are the “Wai Kru” of the Thais, the “Merpati Putih” of the Indonesians, and the “Kata” of the Japanese. The basic form can stand alone and be used as an instrument of health, fitness, and vitality. It can also be branched into empty hand warrior systems, and blade weaponry systems.

Todd Karr (born 1965) is a magician and publisher noted for his wide-ranging performances and scholarly works.
Biograpy
Todd Karr was born in Oak Park, near Detroit, Michigan, and began learning magic at age 9 when he became a regular at the local magic dealer, Romig's Magic Shop in Ferndale, Michigan, with the encouragement of professionals including Milton Kort and Karrell Fox. His interest in magic history was sparked around this time by the discovery of a 1939 copy of The Sphinx magazine and a friendship with Robert Lund, proprietor of the American Museum of Magic in Marshall, Michigan.
While performing close-up shows for restaurants and private shows, Karr attended Detroit Country Day School in Birmingham, Michigan, winning the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association's Student Journalist of the Year award. His first bylined local newspaper story recounted his meeting with one of the school's alumni, actor Robin Williams.
At age 14, Karr lectured before the Magic Collectors' Association in Chicago, and the following year he published his first book, Magicians' Gallery . While studying journalism at the University of Southern California, he published Words on Wonder, written by his mentor S.H. Sharpe, an elderly English magic philosopher; Doug Henning, another of Sharpe's disciples, wrote the introduction for Karr's book.
After an internship writing articles for the Calendar section of the Los Angeles Times in 1988, Karr moved to Paris, France, and began his career as a professional magician. In his eight years there, he performed several private shows for the royal family of Monaco, including Prince Rainier, Prince Albert, and Princess Caroline. Karr appeared on television as an on-screen illusionist and magic consultant for the prime-time series Attention: Magie and Les Mondes Fantastiques . He also presented magic in French in several European cabarets and casinos including the prestigious Monte Carlo Sporting Club, Casino de Monte Carlo, Princess Grace Theatre, Casino de Paris, and the Folies-Bergere.
