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.

[@craiglogue8815]

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 !!

[@andreisoare6576]

Hello, allow me to ask you a quaestion. How many years have you practiced Kaju and what belt have you reached?

[@mchocolate2301]

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.

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.

[@timkittle5418]

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.

Like other arts it's change somewhat, it's a good art, though Go to their Website it's interesting.

[@itllkeal]

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

[@inside_fighting]

I’ll definitely cover more boxing styles eventually. Boxing is a fascinating category

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.

[@dukenukem8253]

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.

[@gbody2617]

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.

I think it would be interesting to do a segment on the similarity and differences between Kajukenbo and Wun Hop Kuen Do .

[@kajukine]

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…..🙏

[@PhilipAJones]

The "fake out greet" is GENIUS! I'm gonna steal that.

[@jackmcconnell7283]

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.

[@1individeo]

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...)

[@jackmcconnell7283]

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.

[@AxelBitz]

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 KZbin 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!

[@richardcranston5160]

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

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

[@CombatSelfDefense]

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.

[@robbyclark6915]

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?

[@XXNerdzillaXX]

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.

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.

[@na-ky8ou]

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".

[@michaelraya-p4k]

Great video. My brother and I trained under Phil Koepple starting in 1966. He had brought Kajukenbo to Illinois in 1959 as he had trained under Adriano Emperado in Hawaii. Unfortunately, he changed styles to Shorei-ryu under Robert Trias in the 1970's. I so regret he made that decision as I had a tremendous desire to learn Kajukenbo in depth.

[@BelleDividends]

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.

[@beentheredonethat5908]

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.

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.

Could be the chance of seeing more trapping and Wing Chun in action,maybe even Aikido

[@thecoach717]

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 🥴

[@philcliffe6909]

It's beautiful to watch.

[@outofthebox7]

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.

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

[@mizukarate]

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?

[@Quantum3691]

From my understanding this and similar arts like American Kenpo and Kara-Ho Kenpo, share a lineage with Kung Fu San Soo.

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.

[@georgegeorge6356]

this is another interesting analysis. this topic about the way someone is reacting at a real situation fight even if he is a skilled fighter trained in martial arts is controversial and i havent even given to myself the proper answer. i am a competitive fighter in kickboxing and mma. i have, noticed that in light sparrings or even hard enough n club i can do almost what ever i work in shadowboxing, fancy moves that are also essential. but when it is about a match where the stress is much higher the body does the first instictive idea, no time of thinking. especially when the adrenaline is so high i dont even remember or recall what happened. this comes in fights that opponent plays hard and not so technical. all in to destroy the opponent with one hit. some few schools have this logic especially in amateur fights. but in any sport situation even if it is sparring or fight i have very good defense. but when i fought someone quite strong in the street but not a martial artist, i let him hit me first just to begin the fight and punished him. after he threw the first hit and a half! the instictive reaction of mine was not technical. my hands were not up as usual, and i had the most primitive brutal response hitting him with the right hand, despite i do all my sport fights with hands up and mostly using left jab. paradox i used my left hand to control him from his shirt below and i hit him with the right hand, and this thing is even hard to recall it in my memory. i realised it after i saw his shirt and below his left eye that had a trauma. but i have seen other people in videos that are quite technical in street fights and calm. so i dont have totally the answer and even if i am a great defensive player, that moment the reaction was just to hit back with all my power.

[@joaoguilhermebastos519]

So Hawaiian kenpo *is not* a joke. And that bare knuckle sparring...oh, THAT'S SOMETHING

[@hardrock1826]

I saw the need for myself personally to develop a Self Defense System of street fighting that anyone could do without having to be big and strong. Without having to invest years into physical conditioning. Without having to learn numerous recognizable forms or what is called Kata. So I created my street fighting Martial Art called "Klang Fu" which is basically self defense with a Pick Axe. I don't know how effective it is because I have never had to use it. People tend to keep their distance as I walk down the street. So I haven't had any altercations that have required a self defense response. The only negative I have discovered with my new art, is that this thing is really heavy so I end up dragging it a lot. When I go grocery shopping and I'm pushing the cart around. I get some funny looks from people because I have my Pick Axe draped across the cart in front of me. I try to provoke a response from them by saying as rudely as I can. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKING AT." But they turn around and scurry off. There was this mouthy 7 year old kid I thought I was going to have to straighten out. But his very pregnant Mother pulled him away and out of the store. She didn't want to mix it up with me either. But one day I'm expecting that I will have to jump into action. When I do my adversary will hear my yell of attack. As I scream loudly like a Karate Kiyai just before impact the word "KLANG." I'll have to get back to you on how devastating this art form is. But for now, I think the world is a little safer. All The Best.

[@akmil02]

This fits my style. I started with American Kenpo; quick strikes, all offense. Now I do more BJJ. I can win most stand-up fights/sparring, but struggle when people can take my strikes. Until I learned some BJJ, I couldn't stop takedowns and defend myself on my the ground. I love the look of this art. I love the way you test your students reactions, and your philosophy. I'm subscribed now

[@Mustard_Dispenser]

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.

[@paulosullivan5772]

I agree with just about everything you said. It's a great video as always

[@Mobayeats]

I love the theme song!

[@grandwonder5858]

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 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.
