One of the founding members of Kajukenbo was Peter Young Yil Choo who was credited for practicing both Tang Soo Do and Shotokan. That is 1 reason for the Korean type kicks,also as an older tape eventhough kajukenbo is known for tough contact sparring the double type kicks and flip kicks were common in most schools that did alot of competition and point fighting no matter what the style in the 80's and 90's. As other people commented the judo aspect is more in some of the self-defense portion of Kajukenbo.

This video looks near 1989 creation. Their technique is pretty good for that time. 90% most of what they are doing looks practical and relevant, which is quite impressive for a 1989 video. Definitely does not look like a waste of time. And yes, it looks similar to Savat ;)

I also studied Kajukenbo, in Southern California. When I was taught the history and the origins of the name: Ka - Korean Karate (Tang Soo Do) Ju - Judo/Jujitsu Ken - Kenpo Bo - Chinese Boxing (Kung Fu) That’s why you may not see much traditional Western boxing. There was definitely a focus on sparring but we also did kata (my school called them “forms”)

This is in fact the style Chuck Liddell train into. This is also in fact founded by a Filipino-Hawaiian Fighter from Hawaii named Adriano Emperado. He is an Arnis Practitioner and also a Kara-Ho Kempo student of William K.S. Chow Kajukenbo focuses on Hybrid Combat. Katas, forms are toned down and instead focus on Full Contact Fighting like MMA This is basically similar to other hybrid martial arts/MMA like Style, such as a Sambo, Yaw Yan and Kudo(formerly known as Daido Juku. Which is a MMA style of Kyokushin)

Thank You for the great reaction video, I have studied in Kajukenbo for many years. Just want to point out the Karate part of Kajukenbo was based in Tang-so-do... and the base of the art is Kenpo. I will say there is not “a lot” of consistency from school to school, but a lot of creativity, and the style has become a true think tank of martial arts greatness. The lineage I grew up in was heavily self defense technique based, and has grown with MMA as The Pit “Hawaiian Kenpo” has had a great influence on the art. Kajukenbo has a great history, but I would say if you are looking for the basis/ Core of the Art, I would start with the Emperado Method of Kajukenbo, As Sijo Adriano D. Emperado is the Main figure responsible for the spread and creation of Kajukenbo as well as one of the 5 founders.

@NyxxNovaVT 2 жыл бұрын

Kajukenbo is also constantly changing as its main philosophy is to only use what works, so schools depending on the instructor can have wildly different looking techniques or focus on things. A lot of schools have added Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or have a heavy Filipino Martial Arts influence with stick and knife fighting.

This is a tournament version that was common in the late 1970s and early 1980s. I use to compete against this style frequently. The techniques were actually very effective for sport karate OPEN TOURNAMENTS. I used a combination of Tae Kwon Do and Shoryn Ryu. The Kajakenbo and Kenpo guys were very adept at the groin kicks that they would complete under the opponents side thrust kick. They also had fast reverse punches. Excellent for tournament sparing in the 1970s and 1980s.

Great video. Thank you for sharing our art. I would add that Kajukenbo is more of a mindset then a style. Though everyone studies a core curriculum, different teachers will focus on different aspects. My teacher loved the kenpo and military cqc, while one of his students taught me Muay Thai and Capoeira, and another taught me my basics of BJJ. My teacher's teacher, meanwhile, loved to work Kung Fu. Also, there are currently two of us teaching in Japan. Come join us sometime!

Practiced kajukenbo since 2012, earned my honors black belt under the pallen family and it was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done. Our curriculum involved typically a lot more muay Thai and jiujitsu than old styles, for us at a high level it could resemble mma in non-point fighting kumite (we did continuous mma style and sporting jijitsu fighting as well as traditional point kumite) we also did weapons training, our school specifically having its own grand champion line of stick fighters practicing their own unique stick fighting art based on Filipino styles. I have since left my dojo but remain practicing the techniques and principles taught to me, I focus now on mma and I look back on my dojos kajukenbo as a perfect way of learning the essential mma techniques I need. I hope to learn other karate forms to improve my fighting skill tho and plan on studying shotokan, just found your channel and I’m enjoying a bunch! Here’s a new sub!

I have studied Kajukenbo off and on for the last 28 years and what they are demonstrating here is the point sparring aspect of Kaju. This is by no means a comprehensive demonstration of what Kaju is. Also, I will say, Kaju draws it's sparring a lot from Karate and Kenpo and is mostly designed to help with endurance, distance management and practice the use of strikes/kicks while in motion. The art itself is actually a "Self Defense Art" which is why it is originally called "Kajukenbo SDI" or "Kajukenbo Self Defense Institute". There are many different branches of the art and they have been adapted to whatever region they are in. The Kaju dojo I go to places a heavy emphasis on the Kung Fu teachings within and that includes the physical conditioning and mindset for discipline of the body. Other Kaju schools I have visited focused more on kumite and weapons. There is a commonly understood curriculum between most of the Kaju schools but the biggest common factor is allowing for the integration of other martial arts to find the most effective methods of self-defense as the area calls for and as the times change. For example, since Kaju doesn't focus a lot on going to the ground, I also train in BJJ. Thank you for the video!

My school has a interesting lineage, as my head instructors Sensei passed away in a helicopter accident in the 80s. It was Kempo, but not matching any of the katas i had seen in other systems. It also has a heavy Arnis influence. But while competing on the national circuit he was approached by a Kajukenfu instructor whose lineage was Adriano Emperado. He continued to be my instructors student until his passing. Some days we sparred similar to the video. Some days were more freesparring, but still technical sparring not going full power. Some schools in our association sparred with groin strikes. Self defense would be striking, with takedown and control with the submission option. We practiced solo baston, all the kobudo weapons, and the Katana.

Kajukenbo is a mix of multiple arts co-founded by five martial artists. KArate = Peter Choo, early Tang Soo Do/Shotokan, Hawaiian middleweight boxing champion JUdo/JUjitsu = Joseph Holk, judo & Frank Ordonez, Danzan-ryu jujitsu KENpo = Adriano Emperado, Chinese Kenpo, and arnis BOxing = Clarence Chang, Chinese boxing aka kung fu Emperado was Ed Parker's senior. He and his brother Joe studied under William Chow and promoted Parker to ninth degree black belt (in kenpo not kajukenbo). Parker had very briefly studied under Emperado early on in his training. But it wasn't even a month. Chow was Parker's main instructor. Chow and Parker had a falling out and the promotion was more out of respect and common courtesy towards Parker and his achievements in kenpo than that of a teacher-student thing. Kind of when Parker awarded Nick Cerio a ninth degree in kenpo (not American kenpo). Cerio had also been a student of Chow not Parker and I believe received a fifth degree from Chow.

The art came to the US by several people. As Mr Adriano Emperado was a senior student of Kenpo Master William Kwai Sun Chow in Hawaii above fellow student Ed Parker and some others. When they came to the US mainland from Hawaii Prof Chow was not advancing some black belts. Mr Parker and others had to get higher Kenpo rank from Emperado. They couldn't use the name Kajukenbo. All were modifying their Kenpo/Kajukenbo to American life and competition. Several versions of Kenpo and Kajukenbo split from there with Ed Parker and Kenpo taking control of most in America. Some of Mr Parkers black belts then went to Hawaii and got more training from Prof Chow. Crazy family tree. The art of Lima Lama too. Considered Ohana. Like cousins now.

Unfortunately, shortly after I started, the instructor had a heart attack and passed away. It was odd, because this dude was lean as could be, and looked extremely healthy. I wish I could’ve continued because the classes were difficult and I’m sure that as you progressed your stamina would increase as well. When the classes were complete, I was gassed. The movements we were being taught were not similar to the video shown here. It was much more judo-like and in some ways, like Krav Maga.

I did Kajukenbo for a few years and enjoyed it. Most school emphasize street combat. After that I did 8 years of Shorin-ryu and now UFAF system (Chun Kuk Do). I have learned alot from all of the styles.

I'm a kajukenbo black belt and instructor based out of Austin, Texas. I try to modify the system to more closely resemble MMA/Dutch Kickboxing but with a self defense emphasis. I can say that while curriculum tends to vary from dojo to dojo, in general a lot of people teach Kajukenbo with a heavy point fighting style sparring emphasis and a kenpo style of self defense techniques. We can argue back and forth about the efficacy of doing this and calling yourself a self defense style (which I do on my channel) but this is by and large how Kajukenbo is practiced.

Im a beginner (yellow belt) here in Kajukenbo! In my school, we divide our days to learn a (somewhat) equal amount of of Karate, Kenpo, Jujitsu(judo), and Chinese boxing! Yes there is a major influence of kenpo in this art, due to our main founder Adriano Emperado studying this art before his time as a Sijo. The sparring that we do is also influenced on the street fighting, this correlates to how Kajukenbo original formed. Our instructors take pride in our history, and students are supposed to learn more history as we stay in class! I'd love to tell you more if you'd like!

3:40 Well, at least in Goju Ryu, a Hayto Uchi is with the inner edge of the hand opposite to Shuto Uchi which is with the outer edge. If it is with the top of the hand then Ura Uchi but if closed as a fist it is Huraken.

If this is popular in the US, I must live under a rock because I've never heard of it. It was probably much more popular in the 80s and 90s. Ever since the advent of the UFC, MMA, Judo, Ju-jitsu, and taekwondo have pretty much taken over as the most popular styles.

Fun video. It's a neat look into the past with this one. It would be what you would call "old style" since these folks must be...80-90s at the latest. Thanks for the cool insights. Also.. Groin is pronounced more with spike in the O. The back half of the word is like "oink"(the pig onomatopoeia) without the k.

This is for tournaments. A lot of the judo is tae downs defense and throws. And both of things are frowned on in karate tournaments. Emperado, the founder, was a kenpo guy. Even after creating the system in 1952, he got his teachers certificate in keno Karate. There is an aspect of boxing in the more up close techniques. However, a lot of karate tournaments/styles disfavor fighting that close and will try to maintain distance. There is also a strong kung fu influence as 3 of the four recognized branches of kajukenbo are kung fu styles. Those being Tum-Pai, Ch'uan-fa, and Wun Hop Kuen Do.

I practice Kajukenbo... I really love it 'cause it's really "complete" (good kicks and punches, amzing self defense technique, throws, levers, fight on the ground and real sparring), effective and practical... Another good thing is the continuous evolution, eclecticism and creativity! Amazing As you say, it's really similar to Kempo, which is the "base" of the entire style 🙂

I live in Maui, Hawaii and there are lots of Kajukenbo schools here and in Hawaii in general. They have a close relationship with Kenpo. I compete in their tounaments in weapons kata so I am very familiar with them. A few of their schools have mixed tournaments with Filipino Martial Arts, my art, in weapons padded and forms. One of the original founders of Kajukenbo, Professor Emperado was skilled in Filipino Martial Arts so we feel related to them. It is common to have Masters skilled in both arts. Come to Hawaii, Kajukenbo schools are everywhere. Mahalo and Aloha.

There is a lot of boxing incorporated in Kajukebo because 3 of the founders studied boxing too and 1 of them was a professional boxer. Kajukenbo is popular all over the world! But only in Emperado's method I can say is proven effective in the street since if worked in a street fight, only then it was added to Kajukenbo. All Kajukenbo schools are different. Kind of like all boxing clubs are different. I am Judan in Kajukenbo Sandan n Kempo and 1dan in Shotokan. Do you know my friend Kevin Funakoshi?

The video you showed of Kajukenbo, was for point fighting tournaments by Gary Forbach from the 1980s. The self defense application's are totally different. I have worked security, personal bodyguard, and military operations since 1983, now semi retired. I have sparred with and train with both, traditional Karateka in Japan and Okinawa, and Kajukenboist from mostly California, both types were very 👍 good. The difference was the way they practice and fight. Kajukenboist were always in overdrive in actual fighting situations, and delivered maximum damage to the opponent. Karateka had cleaner technically correct, i.e. turning the hips when punching technique, but as far as martial mayhem or combat, in my opinion it was no contest. Both could stop a dangerous opponent, just, the level of breakage and destruction differs. That being said, I also saw Karate Jitsu and Okinawan Kenpo in Okinawa. Not a sport, very leathal. The difference is civilian/sport application a and military/combat techniques. Of course self defense is knowing when to stop. But most styles today train for sports competition, and or basic self defense against single unarmed opponents, or both opponents start out armed. Check out Kajukenbo history videos on KZfaq. Much better examples, or Panther Videos Won Hop Kuen Do by Al Dacoscus. He was a second generation Kajukenboist who is also the father of action star Mark Dacoscus.

Lol it seems Kajukenbo has quite a bit in common with Krav Maga. But in all seriousness the most I'd learned about this style prior to this video was from an old Fight Quest episode. I really enjoy these more in depth analyses on different styles.

@jayve4433 2 жыл бұрын

Yes that’s an older video, I think it sometimes changes and evolves with different instructors and schools, they do have some boxing, kickboxing and throwing or grappling in their forms and self defense, I think they do point sparring and power board breaking, from what I understand the Ju is for judo and jiu jitsu and Bo is for both western boxing and eastern boxing which is usually Chinese boxing which is kungfu, so I guess it’s a mix of karate judo/jiu jitsu Kenpo and boxing/kungfu, the Kajukenbo dojo where I live had some judo and kungfu techniques in the self defense and katas but now they have more kickboxing and jiu jitsu, they used to have classes in sword, kamas, nunchucks, Bo, escrima sticks, but now they focus more on the Bo, kamas and sometimes nunchucks and escrima, they changed some of their forms and how many they do, I think Mr. Dan from Art of one Dojo briefly mentioned Kajukenbo in one of his videos on the history and different styles or schools of Kenpo karate, I think some consider it a form of karate since it’s not Taekwondo or kungfu cause it has in it Karate and Kenpo karate

@2:20 that gedan keage is almost identical to a move early on in the Shotokan kata of Unsu.. drop to side, keage.. swap to other side, keage I suppose the bunkai of Tekki/Naihanchi Shodan could apply, but as I say it is almost identical to the early part of Unsu when you drop to the ground. @2:49 I don't like that he doesn't use his hip while doing his haito.. as you say, they don't use their hips as much in this style, but a haito has emense power when you do it with a straighter arm and use the hip, rather than doing it like a hook from the shoulder. For reference to my history, I am a Shotokan Karateka who began living this way when I was 7, and I am now 43
