I have been looking up Kajukenbo and I really see is more KENPO then anything else. However, i see these French Instructors doing it and it looks STREET which I love. No going into a traditional stance afterwards. Who are those guys and what makes there method of training and instruction different from these guys who really just show KENPO?
@MAcritique As I understand, it also incorporates kenpo with judo, jiu-jitsu and some of the other Chinese and Japanese striking arts. I'm not a practitioner, so I can't say much more than that, but as I've heard, a lot of the people who practice it come into the style with lots of MA experience, so it ends up getting integrated and changed from person to person. At the least I would say it's a really interesting style.
too bad in a real fight no one throws a punch and then sits there and lets u do what u want to do to them. Train in boxing and jiu jitsu and you'll be fine.
@bradj2000 You may want to get your facts straight before you make a comment. Kajukenbo has jiujitsu in it. And many Kajukenbo people train in boxing as well. Not to mention the other material that the style contains.
Actually, kajukembo is very similar to silat and the same for kempo kosho shorei or kosho-ryu, the brother of kajukembo. I have seen Wun Hop Kuen Do and what they did was mix Wu Zu quan and Fut Gar with some moves from northern long fist such as bajiquan and piguaquan or meihuaquan and mizong luohan and southern animals tyles, also throwing in some muay boran. I have seen a system which is like the ultimate mix of those, but it's military and they don't teach to civvie foreigners, called SUCAM
@Koldztone you're right in some respects to the styles/systems you mentioned but you've left out the FMA aspect which heavily influences our expression of WHKD. Additionally, during Sifu Al's time in Denver, he often exchanged training and concepts w/ Willem De Thouars so our expression of Kajukenbo reflects a lot of Silat.
adrian emperado's kajukenbo and the rest of the family tree is and always a great TRUE combat proven fighting system used in world war 2, what more can you say, with a true combat arts like kajukenbo. That is TRUE warfare and street proven art originally formed by 5 world war 2 vets. al dacascos was the 6th one later down the line and formed won hop kuen do which is combined with more filipino arts/kali.great to see kajukenbo in action.jkd and kajukenbo work well together and is the ultimate mma
Pro. Ortega is by far the best example of Kajukenbo applications that i've found on youtube so far.
i am so sick of watching mediocre displays of half ass sparring matches and bullshit dojo advertising campaigns that not only give a bad name for the style but prove the lack individual understanding of the art.
Gaylord's method is nice but the Kosho Ryu system just seems more adaptable.
i would love to see a match between the two and not by novices but by professors.
It seems like KajukenBo and RyuTe are very similar. Not knowing TOO much about the inner workings of this style as far as kata, but some of the techniques are similar.
i've been a jeet kune do student (and major follower of jkd philosophy) for almost 6 years and i took a few kajukenbo classes months ago when i was on vacation to hawaii. loved it. it's very similar in some aspects to jkd, so it wasn't a hard transition, but i learned some new tricks, definitely. it's not for everyone, but i loved it, so i recommend kaju to anyone who's interested in expanding their martial arts knowledge (something that's at the center of jkd training philosophy.)
Man you gotta damn well to connect on some of these moves, it looks great in slow motion but if some 1 is throwing wild hooks and stuff how are you going to dance around it. I am sure it could work, and you do strikes to a point, hit to the throat, eye, below the belt. Maybe I actually see it with my own eyes in a real life attack for me to believe 100% in it.
well, it does say "advanced" in the description. i'm guessing most of these techs are for people who've been into it long enough to be that accurate in a real life situation. that's my opinion anyways.
am i missing something about this art. i dont see were it is as great as everyone says it is. even the seminar(where things are suppose to look good) doesnt impress me, i mean how many people punch like that. i looked up this art spars, and it looks more like taekwondo. i am not trying to be rude, just trying to understand what i am missing. it will be on fightquest this week, maybe it will show me more
Kajukenbo focuses on the importance of knowing how your opponent will respond to your attacks & executing techniques after techniques based on his reactions without stopping with just one hit. This is way of the Kenpo system. The main philosophy is that, "If he starts the fight, you decide when the fight is over."
i can understand that, but it still doesnt impress me. just going by what you said it doesnt make sense. you said that it goes by knowing how your opponent will respond to your attacks. any system that claims to know how an opponent will act, i would think twice about, and then using what you call techique after technique can be a big problem in a fight that may last only a few seconds.
Generally speaking what does the body do when you're kicked in the groin, hit in the solar plexus, punch in the kidney, eye poke? Our body naturally reacts & tends to cover where it hurts...A practitioner relies on these theories, laws of physics, using concepts, & principles characterized by the use of quick moves in rapid-fire succession intended to overwhelm the aggressor. Hope this helps!
well, the reason you think it resembles taekwondo is because it is partly taekwondo..
and the reason you may not be as impressed as us people who know kaju is because you may be used to the fancy MMA were they arent basic..kajukenbo is a basic martial arts that was invented by sijo adrianno emperado to defend locals in hawaii from drunk us navy sailors..so it focus' on striking and takedowns, as well as very easy knock outs or submissions
It is the art of dirty streetfighting. It is not as flashy as other arts because it does not need to be. It is about winning the engagement in the most effective manner. It seems like with each new year of training I realize how potent the art truely is. A modern art for a modern age.
Gotta love a dirty fight. It gets you outta situations hella fast. Example: Friend of mine is black belt and got me into a choke out move. I was too close to throw elbows and already on my knees. I reached out and grabbed ... You can figure out where ... And squeezed a little bit. A dirty move, but he let go of me. Lol. It really is a beautiful art, I love it.
@PoisionedKiss Lol? You are just a bitch that likes hurts male genitals. go watch "teeth" you will like. if a bitch try grab mine I just pierce her eyes and you guess who will be laughing at the end. LOL
I don't know.. when you combine the moves with Escrima attacks, you see it's true power. And when someone comes at you with a blade and ends up on the ground with a cracked neck and spine--that blade flying through the air will flash. I assure you.
My Godmother's Boyfriend knows Kajukenbo. The dude is a seventh degree black belt or Sigung. He says he trained under Rick Kinji. This is my favorite martial art becaus eit is real stuff. Street-Fighting and anything goes. He tells me they trained with no prtective gear like in many other arts and when they walked in to competitions with the black gi everyone knew it meant buisness. The story he tells me makes training seem rough...atleast where he went. I hope he will teach me some moves.
HE would do well if there were no rules. The Ufc fighter would first have to not mind getting kicked in the groin, poked in the eyes, his ear ripped off stuff like that. Cuz on the street, people die. In Ufc they don't.
Oh now I understand... I think. Sorry I thought you were just saying Ufc fighter/MMA fighters were the only ones who could fight. Yeah somtimes Kempo/Kenpo and Kajukembo fighters do good in MMA, but only if they can adapt to the MMA fighting style. After all Chuck Liddell is KEMPO. Which has roots through Kajukembo featured above!
pretty cool i wanted to learn a martial art preferably wing chun but classes are to far this and tkd are the olny thing available
