- Like and susbcribe :) and comment for the algorithm because the algorithm is racist against my people... and by that I mean let's keep this channel growing as a team folks.
So I watched your video again. I am a practitioner from the Toni Ramos system. That system taught us to fight multiple assailants at one time. You take a signal person to the ground when needed. I am also a retired deputy sheriff. I have experience.... I recently watched on the TV Ny cops taking one suspect to the ground trying to put him into custody. While they were on the ground, they were attacked by multiple people. This is exactly what the original Kajukenbo taught what not to do... Kajukenbo taught how to fight multiple people at the same time! That is the Kajukenbo foundation.
I’ve been training in Kajukenbo for 40 years. I’ve seen countless videos on it. I must say that your video is very well done as it presents an overview of Kaju in a fair and intelligent manner.
Kajukenbo Tum Pai is one of the 4 branches. By incorporating Tai Chi into the art, we vary from what you show however our sparring is very similar.
Thank you for a fair, honest video.
Great video, it took me back to when I studied Kenpo way back in the day. Kajukenbo is a blend of several martial arts. As you stated it was founded in Hawaii in 1947. I think most people don't realize that Kajukenbo consists of Karate, Judo, Danzan-ryu Jiu Jitsu, Tang Soo Do, Kenpo, and Boxing. This mix of different styles is what attracted me to my Kenpo Instructor/Master. He studied under Grand Master Adriano Emperado when he was stationed in Hawaii. Also as you said, the training was brutal! But, I loved every bit of it. Again, thanks for the video.
Thanks much for your comments on the UFC. I have the 1st one on vhf. I eventually got bored with watching it. As I tell folks, such events are no fights, they are contests, with a referee, judges and rules. They have winners and losers. Actual fights only have survivors. I have been in a few; I did 20+ as a cop.
Damn. I really love the way you explained how you can build on the reflex of a beginner. If he reacts this was, we can just add or fine tune that movement into something that works. What a nice approach! Especially in the beginning
The reaction drill you do with your Students is awesome.
Hey have you ever heard of Lotus Self Defense out of Thailand, my Pops took it when he was in the Airforce, mostly Airforce guys study it his Instructor was transferred so he couldn't finish it, anyway the Founder Mr. Penchant Mahachanvong the system has aspects of Judo, Kenpo-Karate, Akido but its fondation is Muay Thai. Like other arts it's change somewhat, it's a good art, though
Go to their Website it's interesting.
Thank you for objectively reviewing the style, I personally am in my 56th year in kaju, was on the Fight Quest episode (Gaylord’s Uke, the guy getting hit with the sticks)
The demos shown were mostly from the European representatives of Kajukenbo’s, their version is very Kenpo based, there are many different branches that are more heavily sport combat oriented John Hackleman ufc Chuck Liddel’s trainer,
Current Belator Bobby Serrinio jr, my son in law UFC/Belator Michael Mayday McDonald, it can and does transfer to the ring.
Kajukenbo can be very brutal (ask my students)😬
But in today’s work would put us in prison, use of force continuum is taught in many modern kaju schools.
Many of us have expanded on what we learned because of the openness of our teachers,
BJJ DZR JJ is a big part of many as well.
Kaju has always trained for all the ranges, but today’s practitioners have cross trained to make our Kaju better.
Be water my friend…..🙏
At the moment my list of what is solid is Muay Thai , Urban Combatives, Hubud Lubud, Western Boxing, Combat Sambo, Kudo, Judo, Combat jui jitsu with slaps.
Thanks for sharing what you do. How about doing a series on all the different boxing styles from the origins to the modern. I use to study some animal styles Kunfu and also been in a boxing ring with a ex golden glove boxer where somehow I've learned enough to handle myself in every situation I've been in but I wasn't anywhere near pro but each style has it's own use in a street situation
I’ll definitely cover more boxing styles eventually. Boxing is a fascinating category
Another slamming awesome video on this channel exhibiting once again an exotic marshal art that has it's own approach to fighting I love the information alone with your educated opinion I've always believed that when you learn about other Arts you learn more about your own because you're seeing what it is and what it isn't👏👏👏
Kajukenbo is partially created using Hung Sing Choy Lee Fut from the Lau Bun Hung Sing USA family. @9:30 that is the way of Hung Sing Choy Lee Fut. We are to keep figthing till our opponent stops moving.
You're legitimately doing God's work. You've contributed in a huge way with your nuanced and honest analysis to the better communication i have with people in general and personally.

It seems like a well rounded martial art but do you think it would be effective against Brazilian jiu jitsu?
@@VickGos-yr2gi it probably depends on how much of judo they use. I haven't watched the video but ju in the name is judo
@@inside_fighting- You're not scaring anyone terrorist.
Great video. Stefan Kesting (Grapple Arts) started in Kajukenbo under Phillip Gelinas (Sled Dog… original Dog brother… Pekiti guy.) I have been fascinated by some of the Kajukenbo stuff I have seen, especially from France. I think it can be a great system.
I'll always look at 3 things in a style/system. Pressure testing, all ranges and applicability on the Street. Interesting. You will notice almost every hybrid MMA style starts looking like the each other.
As someone that has been practicing Kajukenbo since the Mid 80’s THANK YOU for an informative and unbiased overview of Kajukenbo! GREAT podcast and I look forward to checking out more of your stuff !!
Hello, allow me to ask you a quaestion. How many years have you practiced Kaju and what belt have you reached?
So the low budget intro song for this channel…😂 I ❤ it!
I think it would be interesting to do a segment on the similarity and differences between Kajukenbo and Wun Hop Kuen Do .
Kajukenbo is beautiful and is one that evolves. I have some experience in it and he has valid points. But it can progress and grow. I honestly say it is up there with FMA and JKD. I hope to see more ground fighting in it
You are distinguished, as always, in choosing distinctive topics in the world of martial arts and formulating them in an excellent and professional manner, especially by showing the positive and negative aspects, that is, the strengths and weaknesses of each martial art. Thank you for your wonderful contribution.
I appreciate that very much. Makes me happy to keep doing these videos
🎉
Little fact Kenpo techniques started from a natural, response then progressed to outlandish. I still enjoy the lessons I learnt & there basic movements. I really like Kajukenbo
For anyone not familiar it’s a mix of
Karate, Judo & Ju-jitsu Kenpo & Chinese boxing
🤜🫷
William Fairbairn knew this when hexwas chief of the Shanghai Police in the 30s and later taught Royal Marines and US Marines and the Devils Brigade during WW2. Do not make fun of WW2 Combatives because someones great grandfather might destroy you with his gross motor skill reflexes drilled several hudred times a week
Kajukenbo has Arnis in the system it is shotokahn karate, jujitsu, kenpo and boxing with chin na and other styles
You mentioned Fight Quest, that was an amazing show! It really fueled my passion for martial arts/self defense. These tv channels should bring those kind of.content back, instead of docs on aliens and conspiracy theory kind of thing. Great vid.
You are absolutely correct. I've been studying martial arts for 37 years and the problem with most arts abd how they train is the complex motor functions that are not truly valid in a fight. Yes, the training serves a propose. But unfortunately the most students are taught incorrectly and then find themselves in a bad situation because their conditioned responses are predictable and rendered ineffective. As you said about the complex movements in kenpo karate, yes they teach 3 phases of training but there is hardly ever any pressure testing but please keep in mind that Ed parkers kenpo karate from the 1950s and 60s are not the same as now. His original kenpo karate was straight forward and simplistic. Which is better in a self defense situation. All the 1st and 2nd generation kenpo karate practioners were more equipped to truly protect themselves unlike how the art evolved into. Senior grandmaster Ed parker went from having an effect system and great philosophy and concepts to great philosophy and concepts and inadequate applications. It's a Shame. I saw this growing up in Oahu,Hawaii. Same with kajukenbo. Kajukenbo of 37 years ago is far from the same as it is today. Growing up and with Kajukenbo being my first style. I can honestly agree with your assessment of kajukenbo. The kajukenbo of today is not like the kajukenbo I studied decades ago. It was simple, effective, lethal,fast and practical. Truly geared for true street fighting. Sijo Adriano Emperado said on numerous occasions that class wasn't over until he's sees blood on the mat. Also the sucker punching training you described was common in the original kajukenbo and original kenpo karate of Ed Parker. Kajukenbo was indeed developed to be an over kill system for the streets. Remember the founders were notorious for their engaging in street fights. Same goes with Ed Parker and William Chow. All were known to engage in multiple street fights in their days. Their systems were geared truly for combat in the streets. Unfortunately it is not taught that way anymore. Kajukenbo and thr original kenpo karate of Ed Parker students were encouraged to ask questions and develop their own way. You are also correct kajukenbo was meant to be a hyper aggressive art. It was truly full contact. I can't count the concussions I got training in the original Emperado method of kajukenbo in the 1980s. Things change but not always for the better. Thank you for this video. Kajukenbo was meant to be brutal but unfortunately in today's world these days most don't have the fortitude to train in it like we did back then.

I agree. But there are 3 main reasons why people start practicing martial arts: 1 is for sel-defense, 2 is for fitness and 3 is for the artistic part.
Back in the day all martial arts were designed for fighting. Today some evolved into trully fighting systems: muay thai, boxing, sambo or bjj focus more on the fighting part of martial arts, others like taekwondo, karate, capoeira or kung fu focus on the sport part in martial arts and styles like tai chi focus more on the artistic part like a ballet. But some other styles of karate and kungfu also will combine the sport part with the artistic (kata or forms) but the lack of regular sparring with different styles/martial arts make them useless when used for fighting or self defense.
Also most schools became cults, like religion and it happens even in styles like BJJ. You often hear things like "this is too dangerous to be trained" which is ridiculous because 99% of martial art techniques are dangerous. Also stuff like "BJJ is the best I dont need to learn striking". But also today "masters" use words that are too complex for students to understand. Stuff like "center line", "destroy" these are the kind of words that make people think "macdojo!" An open hand is an open hand not a claw. A leg is a leg not a tail. Etc... muay thai make it soo easy to u derstand (elbow, knee, push kick, low kick, straight punch...)
I completely agree with everything you have said. As you mentioned the complex vocabulary is a major problem which goes hand in hand with the overly complex movements in some martial arts today. You also mentioned a pit fall of alot of arts. The my arts the best and I don't need this or that mentality. This only spells danger for the practioners in a real world situation.
@@jackmcconnell7283 100% 👌
I love the judo style double leg in it at around 3 minutes
in my kajukenbo class...drills..is for ..none thinking movement...and to improve speed strikes and blocking...as more drills you do ..youll develop beside blocking youll start perrying..side stepping an draw-ins and start ..trap strikeing ! Lighting take downs or two strikes to stop or ending the fight...and it starts with Drills
Can’t see, can’t breathe, can’t stand can not fight. In Kajukenbo I was trained to attack in 3. Our purple belt requirements were black belt requirements everywhere else in the world. Continue to attack until your opponent is sleeping.
More Gold dude 🎉 well done. Loved the Fight Quest reference. That was the best show on TV at the time. As for trends, get used to it. In the 80's it was Ninjas (Taijutsu). In the 90's BJJ and grappling in general. These days it's MMA. Perhaps FMA will be the next big thing. We All thought it would be after The Hunted... 😅
This was a very objective and honest analysis. Yeah, Kaju goes much, much deeper. Originally it was a mix of Karate, Judo/Jiujitsu, Kenpo and Chinese boxing, and due to it's open nature (mostly coming from Chinese boxing) many old students incorporated their own techniques to the style, hence the wide variations among Kaju schools.
You said it was very focused on grappling which is true because of its Judo/Jiujitsu roots, but in reallity, as a street developed martial art, it's mostly focused on pain and survival. What is shown in most RUclips videos is kind of the "basic" root form of Kaju, but, as I said, it goes much deeper into street tactics, multi opponent fighting, awareness and timing development to levels of Hong Kong movie characters, body conditioning through progressive pain, and lots more. It's really brutal, but incredibly effective on the ring AND on the streets because it's incredibly compatible with PMA, Muay Thai and Silat.
Very nice video!
I love my style. Kajukenbo was designed to be effective. Also, alot of the Hawaiian Kenpo systems have no wasted movement.
Martial art born out of street fighting...... Probably boxing. For those of you that are going to spit your dummies out. Boxing or pugilism was a more complete art comprised of punches, kicks, knees, head butts, eye gouges and folk wrestling.
In pre modern times when it became more of a civilised sport/art, it got stripped down to just punching and some minor wrestling. Now the modern version has had the wrestling removed too.
I LOVE PEACE AND WINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My experience is the art is a Jack of all trades, but Master of none, you will know a little bit of everything, but not drill in their fundamentals… other then brutality. It is a Martial Artist, Martial Art.
It looks like Ed Parker’s American Kenpo.
Very interesting. It sounds like Jeet Kune Do Karate style. Thanks for educating me. Theme song gets more hilarious every time I hear it. hilarious
It is the Street Sweeper.
Bruce Lee said the open hand is the fastest hand. Open hand finger whip to the eyes is a distraction move, for the knock out blow.
Founder Emperado said no art is superior to another. Any man who masters his art, is a man that is hard to beat.
I'm 53 and just started BJJ. I'll never have your level of experience or knowledge of combat, but the thing I like about BJJ is that every class involves sparring and I've been sparring against guys that are younger, stronger and more experienced, so I get real resistance. In a perfect world, I would have started 40 years ago and picked up striking. In any event, thanks for your channel. Your commentary is a level above most of the other martial arts, combat sports channels out there. You are clearly experienced and skilled in this area.
This guy doesn't know crap. He has never dealt with the real world. A person could learn hours and hundreds of hours of martial arts but they're getting theories that aren't even close to how it is in reality. Just listen to this clown and you could tell. Does he have expertise in martial arts? Yes, he knows what ifs when what you want to know is what exactly to do.
Glad you found bjj and are enjoying it. It’s a wonderful martial art and I’ve enjoyed it deeply for many years. Never too late to be training
At 53 your competition is you and no one else. Keep up the good work
It's beautiful to watch.
If we get Ilan to 50k subscribers he has to do a breakdown of Master Ken’s “100 ways to attack the groin.”
Yes, KAJUKENBO is also a favorite of mine, since its emphasis is on continuous striking and from my experience the instructors are rugged, strong people.
Its instructors truly have learned THROUGH THEIR SYSTEM about real aspects of fighting.
It's complete as far as self-defense arsenal and tactics go, but it's training methodology I think is still way behind.
This is where all great martial arts lack.
I comment as I watch the video.
As to the pressure based environment and how the combination of strikes transfer over into it, this is my perspective:
the purpose of the first strike is to make hard effective impact in a fight; after that, all else is pretty possible, but most likely useless. That is why I always emphasize the need to see what their training is about, that is, can they land that first strike under pressure and chaos, is their training realistic. Now, if that first strike lands hard, as I said the flow of combinations is pretty much useless, but if it lands without the full impact intended being made, then still, some disruption of the attacker's mind will take place, during which the follow up strikes can take place.
When you see these combination of strikes and you see the first punch landing and the guy is still standing there, it means that that first strike is fake, for demonstration purposes, but if you ask the instructor what really happens after that first strike that ands hard, he will have another story to tell. So the demonstration are to show the flow of moves, the mindset of follow ups, that is, the POSSIBLE flow of moves combined. Arts do that, so we must discern what we are actually looking at. As you said, there are man principles at play here, so, each one is very good on its own and combined.
When we can't do something in a fight "as we train it", it's for ONE REASON: Our training of it was very shallow. If you train e.g. a strike and another strike following with the same arm, or a block and a strike following with the same arm thousands of times, it will be recorded in the mind and IT WILL automatically show up in a fraction within a chaotic fight; this is what realistic training achieves, all else is fake, that's why the mind will not recall it and use it instinctively, because it has not become subconscious yet. The word "instinctive" you used is key and I urge you to go deep and build on it.
I see now that you spoke of its training and mention hyperaggressiveness and drills of the sort; that sounded great, that is what you need to show on these videos. I would suggest that every time you make a video on some art, yes show their demonstrations, but give equal time to the means they use in their training, that is how do they practice striking(arm or leg), blocking, and both at the same time. Only then a clear perspective is given.
As for sparring, I am against sparring that does not promote the system within the fight; most do not agree with me, but it's their prerogative. This can only happen if special rules are made and sparring or tournaments are only among students of the same school system. This will force the student to sharpen their tools, instead of dulling them/ Otherwise everything loses it's artistic appearance and discipline and becomes watered down kickboxing with the only difference being the uniforms... The hypocrisy.
Good video.
PS. One more reason I love Kajukenbo, is because it was created by born again Christians. Some schools even pray to Jesus Christ!
I had no idea it had a religious component but that’s amazing.
Write: Kajukenbo prayer,
and also: Kajukenbo (martial arts) found on the: what when how d*t c*m we*site
Are you certain that all five original founders were Xian?
@@stevenkarner6872 No, I am not, I don't remember. But I didn't say that.
@inside_fighting There's a Christian prayer said at the start of class. At least traditionally it was true.
I'd be curious to know your thoughts on Limalama as a silat guy
I trained under BB Hall of Famer Tony Ramos' system for nearly a decade and had the honor of meeting Adriano Emperado. My first guess was Kajukenbo.
You should do one on kenpo. It gets a lot of hate, but when you blend it with boxing the way kajukenbo does it becomes incredible. Its almost JKD'ish, but in a much more dynamic way...
I will for sure eventually.
I do Okinawan kenpo since I was 12 and now I’m 16 love it a lot really love it because it has throws and takedowns and grabs but it also got me into Krav Maga jjj and boxing and judo
Savate
Unless you practice full contact with some protection/precautions you will never know how you will react in an actual self defense/attack situation regardless of the art one practices, plus way too many variables in an actual street fight, multiple opponents, weapons etc. Mindset & intensity it's also extremely important.
Kajukenbo has a very similar origin story to Krav Maga. I've been fascinated with this fight style for many years.
Nonsens!
Interesting video! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Could you pls make a video about tbe rubber guard?
I wonder if he's looked at Professor David who does Vee Arnis Jujitsu? THAT would be an interesting video?
I know of her arnis jitsu! I’ll make a video on it eventually
Great video as usual. I have a kajukenbo background, and I really liked it at the time, but in my last ten years with the system, I have found that the focus on “forward pressure and aggression” DOES develop mental toughness, but often at the cost of proper fighting technique.
I’ve been to a lot of schools where the sparring/fighting didn’t really reflect the training, because as you said - the complex motor function is not a great reaction to a simple motor function.
Kajukenbo sounds like the Street Fighter character Dan...😂
I think it is good to have combinations but too often as Bruce Lee said it turns into a classical mess. Boxing great from Australia Jeff Fenech will say 3 punch combos is all you need. Makes sense generally there will be a return attack unless you spark the guy. You can also string together your 3 strike combos and I think this philosophy works very well for Muay Thai (Or other Kickboxing) or MMA. Try 3 then do another 3 etc., etc. Grappling using the chain theory can also benefit from this theory. I hope what I'm writing makes sense LOL 🥴
Would you make a video about Kung Fu San Soo?
The "fake out greet" is GENIUS! I'm gonna steal that.
It reminds me somewhat of the san soo I did for a while. My biggest problem with san soo however was that they didn't spar. I knew from my Japanese karate training that without sparring, you're just learning techniques, movements, motor skills, etc. All very useful things indeed, but without sparring, you are just missing out on so much useful knowledge and training. Of course, anyone who has sparred a lot knows this. Try explaining it to a san soo guy, though. I tried my hardest to convince them of that FACT, but they viewed sparring as comic book stuff while they were just too deadly and lethal for silly sparring sessions. I didn't last long there. Go figure?
I guess Cardboard-Fu.
I really like this art but mostly because it varies so much. Different at each school and Different for each person. Demos dont give art credit as you point out
Hey thanks for the video I've been practicing kajukenbo for 27 years in Puerto Rico. At least we don't swing ower arms around like that the style verries from who teaches. Our techniques are basic and realistic for real scenarios for the street. If you ever come down to Puerto Rico hit me up I'll take you around the few schools so you could see what we got going on
Anderson silva training Kali/JKD with Willie Laureano is what you're talking about? Haha Willie is a mutual aqaintence it seems! Guys is an amazing martial artist and coach!
My kajukenbo training has successfully worked for me in two real life fights (both self defense) . I only trained it for a few months but the blocks were definitely drilled into my muscle memory. Wish I could find more schools to continue training
Kajukempo, hard core!
I always thought this system looked badass. Just as a point of interest, and maybe someone else already mentioned it, Chuck Liddell is an 8th degree. That's scary.
Our founders always stressed be creative.
Chuck Liddels style of striking is very much an extreme expression of some of the Haiwaiian Kempo content and related to stuff like Kajukenbo that takes the more gritty squared off biker gang expression you see in some of that fight quest episode and simplifies it and appllied it to kickboxing. Some of his strikes very much looks like someone extracted some of the boxing of Kaju but instead of trying to keep it as neat or looking like a cross of boxing and karate with a twist or even trying to imitate conventional boxing was less dogmatic about the details and put some twists on it with some of the weird angled and loopy chops, slaps and traditional ridge hands applied to a more punch structure and often expressed with more boxing like shapes but with some of the principles of weird angles expressed and exaggerated into a more brawler expression.
As an unintended side effect this can often look to the average person at full speed as primal or accidentsl sloppy swinging symptomatic of bad technique, coaching and failure to apply what they are trying to imitate from theory or just straight up one dimensional brawling. Those who do not totally sneer at it or see it as simple brawling will say that at best Chuck got away with it primarily due to his opponents flaws mixed or solely out of being "special" but I think its much more than its given credit for. Also some of the kempo kicks that are more tma like in that approach chuck used, especially earlier in his career, are often overlooked.
Anyway its much what I'd imagine would be developed if you took a bunch of old school hawaiian kempo/Kaju guys of the grittier tough guy variety who had some image of what more conventional kickboxing is and then gave them a pair of boxing gloves and asked them to just go at it hard, compounded by some concious and unconcious integration of more TMAish Kempo hand strikes along the way finalised by the precense of takedowns and a fairly squared up direct way of dealing with them leading to that sprawl and brawl approach.
looks like a good art to me. i remember fight quest well. the teacher in the kajukenpo episode was called Mr gay lord lol no joke
A name we can all remember 😂

All one needs is to ask, I am on Sijo Emperado’s Kajukenbo’s Board of Advisors and can arrange that
Another brother style is Lima Lama, a Polynesian style 🤜🤛
Your sucker punch is a great idea. Also though I think full on hook punches striking with forearms, controlling the punch so your students, or training partners get used to the force of the strikes.
This way they get conditioning & used to feeling a concussive hit. Either cover up or evade. It’s good to feel that force so you can get accustomed to it
👍
What I understand about this style and other Kempo heavy systems is many are leaning toward conditioning in general. The idea is that conditioning equates to toughness without damaging the students. Can anyone verify this.....or debunk this?
I one thing I don’t agree with is, when you train those movements aren’t useful? You practice the basic movements to build the motor sensory to automatically defend yourself. I have trained in Kajukenbo since 1999. I was a bouncer in a club in Hawaii (the birthplace of Kajukenbo) I learned 😂really fast I needed more training. But, years later the reactions you were talking about became second nature.
RICK KINGI'S KAJUKENBO INGLEWOOD 209. Those who trained under Grandmaster Kingi in the 1980's know's how real the fighting (sparring)😂at this dojo was. We are the survivor's of the 209!
I just discovered your channel today while at work, and it is my favorite channel already.
P.S. Kudos to you for properly pronouncing Tae Kwon Do 😅 One of my biggest pet peeves in life is hearing people (even TKD blackbelts) say "Tie" Kwondo as opposed to the correct pronunciation "Teh" Kwondo 🤓🤓
This could be my own snobbery but I will say it anyway. I'm not sure I buy the teach "hyper aggression" idea. I could be wrong but I have trouble believing you can teach soccer mom's to be killers by having them twice a week for an hour. My reasoning is look at how the military does it in basic training and even high school wrestling and football has way more intense training then a couple of hours a week.
Krav tries to do the same thing but people forget original Krav was taught to military personnel. They had already been hazed, sleep deprived, physically broken and mentally brainwashed before they started training it.
Granted aggression is important. I really only see three (sorta four if you include experience) that matter in this stuff.: aggression, technique and athletic ability. If you have two of those but your aggression is like a Zen Buddhist on Xanax I imagine you still lose.
All of them. Every fighting method has, for a basis, "what do I do when someone wants to hurt me?".
This one, however, clearly liesin the realm of "I have no fighting experience, yet I will teach people how to fight".
WTF... Your an Actor... I just saw you on season 1 episode 1 of the Amazon TV show The Citadel... a bad guy tied up in a chair and shot... LOL... fess up 🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂
Very interesting! I love how I get to learn more combat systems from you, and especially the ones that have been developed for the streets and not just as some sport that has flawed applications on the street. However I'm not sure where in my neighborhood in Belgium/Europe I could gat training for the streets.
Another question: What do you think of Wing Chun as a combat system to start training in? I'm already aware you must find a trainer who actually allows sparring, as many (but not all) Wing Chun schools don't do sparring at all.
Wing Chun is a great art, but it has holes. The major issue is the lack of most people doubting the need for power that everyone is equal, power is very important and we are not all equal. I'd advise adding boxing, wrestling or jujitsu, along with wing Chun, trust me, wing chum on its own won't help you against a skilled opponent, even a great street fighter, its more of a great add on, the solo art to learn for defense.
I fought a guy with 10 years wing Chun training, I had no training at the time, just a big strong street kid. I literally destroyed him, his kicks did no damage at all, his hands bounced off my much larger frame, and he had no answer for my aggressive and powerful hands, I was 23 and a 175 power lifter, and he was a 30 year old calisthenics master, I had no idea he wanted to fight, his first kick was when my back was turned and I thought he was playing. He was fast, that I give him, but I was too, and I was strong, young, and I knew how to generate force in my punches, not much else at the time, and when I hit him, he had no answers and didn't know how to handle being hit back hard, and when I grabbed him and started manhandling him, he was quick to stop fighting me.
I love how much you practice the rhino. I bet it comes naturally now
I do. It’s the fundamental part of my training
Excellent video! Thanks for representing our art so well.

Been practicing Kajukembo (soft style of the liniage) for over 30 years. Love it!
all this talk but never saw Kajukenbo practitioner do the thing that they learn, all punching and kicking like they learn from point fighting mcdojo. And for the record, Nippon Kempo, a legit system born out of frustration with form and kata, is the real thing, they are first modern MMA
So Hawaiian kenpo *is not* a joke. And that bare knuckle sparring...oh, THAT'S SOMETHING
Kajukenbo of course.
crazy cool art, but the forms are really weird. Just observed those forms and it seems like they don't really go with the art. I think the Ed Parkers Katas/Forms where a little bit more effect in learning the techniques for that each belt for the art, not like Kajukenbo uses. Lets say look at the self defense techniques of each belt then look at the forms they are doing, Where is the self defense techniques in the form or each form for each belt in Kajukenbo? That all i've noticed while researching different martial arts. I still have love for it though because without it wHere would martial arts be, it's all apart of all Martial arts. Great Video as usual.
From my understanding this and similar arts like American Kenpo and Kara-Ho Kenpo, share a lineage with Kung Fu San Soo.
You are only watching the French group. I love those guys, but it's not all Kajukenbo .
I’m 31 now, but I’ve been training since I was 4 and competed in most combat sports that exist. I will forever be hesitant in viewing any “self defense” system any legitimacy. All martial arts offer the concept of “self defense”, but imo and experience the only martial arts that are truly are effective are ones that have a combat sport side. The whole sport aspect adds pressure testing which is important. The internet also has so many videos of real situations, and you’ll never see any classical “self defense” techniques. Most people won’t stand still long enough for you to hit them more than once before they attack back. I personally have found that boxing is the most realistic in teaching tactics that humans actually use. Most of this “self defense” stuff is meant for the big screen, not the streets.
Another great video. I'd love to see a review of the Modern Army Combatives Program. The "father" of that program is Matt Larsen, who is now the Director of Combatives at the US Military Academy teaching combatives. He has developed programs for civilians and one of his Black Belts, John Valentine recently held the first "Combatives Summit" and it was a huge success. Please let me know if you need contact info. Thank you.
I see a lot of Wing Chun’s centerline. short-strikes inside fighting concept and economy of motion concept that Bruce Lee used to teach to his students and write about in his books. Many westerners like to put Chinese martial arts down for political reasons, but most of today’s martial arts are influenced by Chinese martial arts.
I have a ton of respeto for kjkb after this video. I've always dismissed it as hooey. The demonstration master looks just like Southern Mantis ( chow gar)
i learn about kajukenbo from fight quest in past before years and think is amazing have a lot same moves with ameican kenpo and i love it i want one day learn kajukenbo or american kenpo
The karate dojo I went to as a young adult was a figure your own system out from what we teach you and spar with as many different kinds of people as you can to develop beyond that. Figure out what works for you.
Im very glad I did that.
It's too bad KaJuKenBo is not more widely taught here in upper North America.
Never change the theme song. It's the best. No matter how many subscribers you get, never change the song. Lol.
i think there's good moves in it but i don't think that you can remember the sequences they portray which would make it ineffective in a fight
I took kinjis kajukenbo in California before I took shaoling kempo now for 20yrs.
The Hakka MA were born in, and derived from, actual combat.
Hey you said there are brutal devastating muay thai schools. Please make a video on those schools. Share your expert opinion.
Just like the original wing chun bil jee, side chops to the neck, darting fingers to the eyes, rising elbows to jaw, its not a sport. This wahawaina kajukenbo is pretty good, first time i heard of it and i used to live there
What gets me about these martial arts is they do like a 5 hit combo etc elbow to face etc then boom boom boom boom but in reality a hard couple elbow strikes the opposition is finished so I find they have lots of extra moves that in reality you wouldn't fire off like that if you get what I mean like you elbowiin the dog guy. It's like um no thanks
