@bangmeister there obviously going slow because they are going over this, obviously in a real situation they wouldn't go that slow. Kajukenbo was made for defense in hawaii's use to be dangerous streets in a time when drunk sailors would hang around and criminals too. If this didn't work on people who happen to "punch quick" then the founders wouldn't have used it. Think about it. Thats why people practice, so they become good. as a boxer would train to punch Kajukenbo students train to defend.
@futuremarine808 That inside block he uses is what chuck norris used against bruce lee in that movie they did. Bruce lee was too fast for those blocks. Fastest striker beats fastest blocker
@bangmeister the point i meant to make out earlier was that its all about the training, as in people train to block like how people train to punch. Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee are not on the same level, also it was a movie which means to an extant it was choreographed. If someone trained as much blocking as someone else trained in punching then they could block. Speed plays into everything no doubt about it but to get on a higher level you must practice it.
@bangmeister by Fastest striker beats fastest blocker, i think you are trying to say bruce lee is the fastest striker and chuck was the fastest blocker and that chuck was slower then bruce. i don't know who is but wouldn't an equal force meet? As the point of the block is to not get hurt someone could parry, block/push punch away and many other moves.Yes we all know this. yes but If someone did it right i am certain you could even go slower then a punch and still pull off a good block.
Is there any relationship between kajukenbo and American Kenpo? The drills shown here, as well as the techniques I've seen in other videos, have many similarities to the techniques I've been learning in American Kenpo.
Btw. This did inspire my own system. I'm not sure what to call it. The name's kind of irrelevant, and I don't care to market it to the world. It's a mix of Hapkido & N. Praying Mantis so far. I'm not sure what else to throw into it, but am looking for systems that are unique. Can anyone recommend anything that might flow well?
I have not studied Kajukenbo, But i can see some strong Kempo influence in the techniques. Kempo itself started in Hawii with James Mitose, I wonder if there is a connection.
i'm seeing the influence of kenpo here. the raking the back was from a move called twelve hammers or something. i, however, am having trouble seeing kenpo as the root of kajukenbo like their webpage claims.
because 1.) kenpo is based on 10 laws. as far as I know, kajukenbo is not. 2.) kenpo instructors tend to operate at a speed of a million mph. kajukenbo is slower and more to the point. 3.) Furthermore, moves like the 12 hammers don't tend to encourage deviation or creativity like Kajukenbo. I could very well be wrong about all this as I am just an observer.
kenpo is a general term for martial arts, pronounced chuan fa in mandarin, kuntao in the phils. kwan bup in korean. its not an isolated system or style. kajukenbo, shaolin kempo, american, tracy, kara ho,all of these arts are related to each other through james mitose and william k.s. chow. kenpo is not based on 10 laws...SOME kenpo is (mattera i'm guessing) the whole idea is to be able to mix it up with other techniques. the techniques are just a guideline, a vehicle to learn how it works
then why the name? why not just call it kenpo? that's what i'm gonna start calling my own personal system. you can throw about 90% or more of MA systems in the dump, literally. i don't see why every little moral principle has to have its own name or identity.
because it has elements of other arts. you COULD call any art kenpo, it simply means fist method. ka(karate, korean karate actually tang soo do) ju(judo/jujutsu) ken(kenpo) bo (boxing, western and chinese). but they chose the specific kenpo they were taught in hawaii as the 'base' system. it just has elements of the other styles added to that base. i commonly refer to them all as the kempo arts. similarly kali, eskrima, arnis are the filipino martial arts.
i find jujitsu and kenpo in the same system to be contradictory. kenpo has moves that are designed to get out of moves in jujitsu. and when i say, 'kenpo', i mean ed parker's kenpo karate.
you're watching it every time you watch any kajukenbo videos. all 'hawaiian kempo' has the same roots the kempo part of kajukenbo isn't so different from Ed Parker's. even jujitsu has anti jujitsu moves in it...so what?
the spinal force "thing"?? you don't teach your enemy anything. that's just crazy. but who said kenpo is the enemy of jujutsu? the two arts work very well together. you like kajukenbo but you don't think kenpo and jujutsu go well together? that's exactly what kaju is.
i didn't say it was an enemy of jujitsu. i said it had moves that were based on attacks from jujitsu. putting them both in the same system is like putting someone in a full nelson, and then showing them how to get out of it. weather the two systems like each other is irrelevant. anyways, i'm just blathering. overall, i find it to be a totally erroneous choice of systems to mix together. that's all.
sometimes you see some of those kung fu guys move out of the way at the last minute w/o even so much as a boxer's parry. i believe that that's connected to the one-inch theory a la Jet Li in Leathal Weapon.
you basically insinuated that they are enemies when you said kenpo has techniques against jujutsu. silly argument really. you have yet to explain why you think they are 'totally erroneous"..thats like saying Randy Couture shouldn't box because he's a wrestler.
@CupisHomines geez! you're a glutton for punishment. not only are you stupid but now you're whippin out your peashooter, too? Sorry, you imbecile...I don't swing that way. hahaha
@CupisHomines What's the matter CupidHomones? Not enough playmates to indulge your sick fantasies? Now you're on to "mother" putdowns? You really are pathetic! hahaha
@CupisHomines Tsk, tsk. You need wash your mouth out w/ soap. As a matter of fact, you should chop off your worm and stuff it down your own tonsils since you're so fond about thinking about it!
I agree with 1816323 it is bad that emperado died however I think that he died happy I mean just look at kajukenbo four distinct branches each with its own style. yes kajukenbo does teach escrima arnis and kali
people need to show much more respect on these comments..i wasnt under GrANDMASTER abad But i WaS under GRANDMASTER KALAII KANO GRIFFIN And ABAD had much respect in the Kajukenbo Ohana
just stupid to think you have to be a certain race to learn from one another! jeesh! grow up, kajukenbo has many systems in it, the founder was filipino for god sakes...
I am not a Kajukenbo practitioner. I practice Bujinkan Ninpo Taijutsu and Hakkō-ryū Jujutsu through the Seibukan Jujutsu Dojo.
I am merely making the comment that the teaching and application of Kajukenbo is, from what I have seen, very different than many traditional Okinawan arts. Saying that others would just "sigh once they see this" seems to dismiss what appears to be a solid personal defense system.
Thats entirely my point though. It isn't a copy of the real thing: it is its own art, which I understand is very effective in its own right. Just because it uses some Karate techniques second-hand doesn't mean that it is somehow inferior to a traditional martial art.
I just showed my dad this you tube and he did not know that he was even on this. He was truly surprised. he appreciates all the comments. He said today as an old man, he carries a baseball bat.LOL!
I actually hadn't seen much kajukenbo until I saw a show on it on T.V. I've done martial arts and streetfighting for years and I can't believe I never heard of it. I'm hooked now, much respect to anyone into it.
Wow, this is truly amazing. I think the master should probably stress speed with the feet. I notice many isntructors don't put much emphasis on movement of the feet. The only way you can get behind the guy in this case is by moving there fast enough because he's not just going to stand there after throwing two punches. Beautiful hand techniques. Just don't forget about the two limbs that get you there to begin with.
this would not work on a boxer or someone who punches quick

That is because Kajukenbo is not an Okinawan art, nor is it "traditional".
Kajukenbo was developed in Hawaii, during the late 1940's and early 1950's. It was developed jointly by several black belts.
Kajukembo is a mix of techniques from Kenpo, Karate, Judo, Jujutsu, Kungfu, and western boxing. It's the first modern mixed-martial art.
