Hello Everyone,
We hope your week is going well and do not give up on those new years resolutions you can do it!

Today's topic is KAJUKENBO. Started in the streets of Oahu, HI around 1947.
Broken down:
- KA - Karate/Tang Soo do, By Peter Young Yil Choo
- JU - Judo and Jui Jitsu, By Frank Ordonez and Joe Holk
- KEN - Kenpo, By Adriano Emperado
- Bo - Chinese Boxing, By Clarence Chang
As you can see KAJUKENBO is a mixed martial art founded by five different martial artists who trained together to create a practical and useful art form. They called themselves "The Black Belt Society" with Sijo Adriano D. Emperado as the head of Kajukenbo (Photo above). Here is a link to the Kajukenbo home page: KAJUKENBO HISTORY. Kajukenbo is one of the few martial arts that is constantly evolving taking in new methods and ideas. (Please feel free to comment or add more info about the history of Kajukenbo.)
Kajukenbo is an aggressive and very effective martial art form. Some people call it the art of dirty fighting even there blocks are known to be forceful strikes. Kajukenbo incorporates and is not limited to defense against (a): Gun, knife, club, different types of grabs and punches, multiple attackers, chokes, and much more. This form will not only teach you the quickest way to take down your opponent/attacker but will also teach you self respect, self discipline, respect for others, and how to balance your spirit, mind, and body. Here is one of the theories: "R.A.D. Recognize the situation you are in. Avoid confrontation if possible. Defend yourself if you have to."
If you are looking for a great all around martial art form we recommend trying Kajukenbo. Here is a direct link to schools all around the world including Hawaii: Kajukenbo Schools. Many of the schools will give you a free intro lesson just give the school a call. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
