Casey Marks-Nash – – NASKA Champion – Ep36
Casey Marks-Nash (Casey Marks) was the most dominant female competitors of the late 1990’s. Her instructor, Mike Bernardo, is one of the best Bo practitioners to ever compete.
Even as an adult, Casey is considered to be one of the best all around competitors of all time.
In the mid and late 1990’s, it was Casey’s “out of the box” thinking and release techniques that inspired other competitors to push the envelope, creating more extreme weapons techniques that are frequently seen on National Circuits today. I hope you enjoy her story.
