They learn self defense..there are many dangers in this world and if they don't kno how to protecct them selves at a young age they could be seriously hurt.. I give your school 5 thumbs up.. I expectd a little wrestling
Match bcuz they were so little... I saw them little kids throwing moves that ide expect from an older fighter! I don't kno how you do it but if you can teach kids that young then you have a great school!
5 year olds get kidnapped all the time. Isnt it assuring to know that Kajukenbo kids have a better than average chance of servival because they DO KNOW how to strike, and strike HARD and FIGHT HARD... I say yes, especially since we have TWO attemted klidnaps of students of mine, that got away... the end DOES justify the means
First, I'd like to say that it's great that kids learning a striking art are actually learning a striking art. I see WAY too many that have gained grades but have no real concept of what it is to give or take a real hit. Their parents are wasting their money if they think that their kids are martially proficient. This school certainly teaches striking
But I am concerned about kids this young being hit so hard in the chest, especially because of commotio cordis. Sensei, how do you deal with this?
Jimmy didnt you say that young children develeop the ability to understand certain things in stages?? Well... you'll understand one of these days. Or if you ever do visit CA make sure to stop by our school and I'm sure you'll really understand how well are system works for children and adults. Oh and at 5 years old most kids can read and tell time. There is way more to Kingi's Kajukenbo then what you just see on this 24 second clip.
I was expecting an actual response to my argument, but its nice to know that they're ok.
I will search within myself for an answer to why I commented on some video and responded to the reply.... One day I will discover what my hang up is about five year olds brawling. Thank you for this advice and your other thoughts.
You are being judgemental from a very limited viewpoint of one video posted on youtube. You are reaching way to deep for answers to justify your intial comment, but until you come down and check it out for yourself, it means nothing. So if you are ever in CA, stop on by. :-)
I am not a child psychiatrist, but it isnt a big mistery when a child is old enough to strap on some gear and be told to go all out on another kid. the right age is not 5 years old.
I mean come on,that's just common sense, really. ask any authority on child develeopment or psychology. it is not 5 years old.not in this way. these boys could be learning about all that martial arts encompass, in a much more suited competition element of training, without missing out on anything.or is this THE way?
Well Jimmy from the Netherlands...I would like to extend an invitation to you to come visit the school. I was RAISED in the school and can say from experience, it was the best thing that has every happened to me in my life. Violence is not being taught, common sense and self defense are only a couple things that ARE being taught.
you make a good point about confidence preventing violence later on.
you dont know what I do or do not fully understand about martial arts, so there's no need to ''LOL''.
my point was not if some dojo or reinvented''martial art''is stupid of not.I was just pointing out that young children develeop the ability to understand certain things in stages, and they seem at an age where they cant even read or tell time.
so wilfully introducing violence as a virtue is unwise.
Even if the sensei can explain to the parents about honor, the warior spirit, and so on. and even in the context of a balanced curiculum with technique lesseons.
Are you a child physiatrist? I think not...but I do understand it can be concern. But when is the right age, how can you determine that, there are too many variables too consider. It is something that is taught and developed through proper martial arts training, which is taught at this school.
LOL! Another person who doesn't fully understand what martial arts are all about. You don't know exactly what is taught here at this school, you only see this sparring match. There is so much more to martial arts than just fighting. And yes, young children understand this. All of these kids taught here do not display aggression in there day to day life. In fact, these kids have a since of confidence that prevents them from having something to prove that most kids do throughout there lives.
You should be proud because a 15 to 20 years you'll be seeing your son on the web again. Next time it will be on "Felony Fights.com". And the fact that Kingi's is standing by watching is disgusting! Martial Arts is about teaching kids respect and control, not training five year olds how to fight in the UFC. Also a 5 year old getting a blue belt. Was he a white belt at two, what a JOKE! Can you say belt factory.
luv2lik: you are making a number of assumptions from one or a few videos. You should be ashamed for making such judgments base on very little information. It appears you have some prior negative feelings towards this school and its instructor. Do you? It also sounds like you know a bit about the martial arts commenting about respect and control. If so, you have not shown this here. You are of course free to make your opinions known, but try not to look naive by not getting all the facts first.
To partly fill you in... The brawling is only part of the kumite training that goes on at this school. Technique fighting is also taught at this school, in fact it is primarily taught first. This brawling part of the training helps in a number or areas. One of which is the fear of being hit. I can't get into all the factors that make this training superior to just technique fighting alone, but I assume you must of faced this in some form.
What you do not notice here and that only a few skilled practitioners will see...Is that there is a lot of control going on here, they are not out to knock each other out. What you should notice for their age of 5 is the respect and demeanor that they present. Luv2lik, please try to understand first before you act. Just something I learned and understood at a young age from this instructor.
Do you have any evidence to support that fighting for sport produces criminals ? Kids used to do this on the street for fun. Now, the parents are just watching so that it's a sport. What else should these kids be doing after school? Playing video games or shopping at the mall with mom?
Amen to that. Besides, the kids are learning to defend themselves. If you had children (or have them) and they were attacked would you want them to be trained to hold back or fight to survive? Kids need to learn to fight hard, but when sparring fight responsibly. Also, learning to take a hit at a young age will help them later on in their training. Now, maybe 5 is a little young for that, but only the child's parent should judge that.
No wonder the kids/adults that come out of Kingi's school are a bunch of thugs. As you can see he teaches absolutely no control even at an early age. 5 year old kids going all out throwing knees and punches is extremely dangerous. The title of this video is fitting "Brawling" is exactly what this is. Continued below.

Age has nothing to do with it or size.It's all about fighting smart and using what you learned.

spiritmindbody 3 years ago
wow, arent these kids too you to be sparring like this?
I think at that age this level of agression should still be discouraged.
when they're older they can more fully understand responsibility and so on, and then its great.
luv2lik says it rudely, but he makes some good points too.
how should these boys interpret mom and dad cheering when he's beating the other boy?
they cant fully understand what they're doing, and why hitting is ok here, but not in class for example. shocking stuff
