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.

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.

So the low budget intro song for this channel…😂 I ❤ it!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Once again, my favorite “voice” in martial arts. Fair, balanced criticism and a knowledge base to back it up. Keep up great work! Respect from Detroit 🙏👊

Thanks for sharing what you do. How about doing a series on all the different boxing styles from the origins to the modern.

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.

I love your "Can you guess this martial art?" Thumbnails and video titles. I get a little boost when I guess right and a pleasant surprise when I don't know.

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...)

You get it. You are spot on every single video you post. Great content.

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.

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.

Kajukenbo has a very similar origin story to Krav Maga. I've been fascinated with this fight style for many years.

Yet another interesting and insightful video from you, thank you.

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 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 KZread 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!

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

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.

It's interesting to see them doing the kick and stick/step technique you see in reality-based self-defence systems. It's a real sign of focusing on self-defence as opposed to sport.

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.

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?

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

Founder Emperado said no art is superior to another. Any man who masters his art, is a man that is hard to beat.

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 am an old school 3rd degree kajikenbo practitioner. I do see some changes with the new stuff but that is Kajikenbo constantly improving and moving forward. It is a bad ass martial art that I think mirrors Kun Fu San Su.

I'd be curious to know your thoughts on Limalama as a silat guy

It'd be interesting to see your take on Dambe, lol

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.

That is another tournament that shows our grappling.

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.

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.

I love my style. Kajukenbo was designed to be effective. Also, alot of the Hawaiian Kenpo systems have no wasted movement.

Fairbairn-Sykes made a "martial art" doing street fights. It's basically kick them in the balls, gouge out the eyes, but most importantly make sure you always have a weapon.

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.

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 👍

If we get Ilan to 50k subscribers he has to do a breakdown of Master Ken’s “100 ways to attack the groin.”

I am glad you addressed this. I have trained these since 1960’s. It looks like Kempo because it is Kempo Hawaii before Ed Parker who trained with Joe and Adriano Emperado. Two Drills are to develop motor skills - to develop Mushin the mind of no mind “No think just do.” Muscle memory. Boxing does it “Shadow Boxing “ actually deviation from Duke of Queensbury style to American Boxing influence of Sotukan AKA Panantukan, Kali, Arnis from Marines returning from Philippines. There is no thought just muscle memory. It combines the best of Sotukan and Dumog Filipino with the best of Kempo Okinawa with Kapu Kuia Lua and Okazaki Danzan Ryu Jiu Jitsu/ Judo. This also gave rise to Wally Jay and “small circle Jiu Jitsu “ who was friends with Ed Parker who introduced Parker to Jun Fan in Alameda County California- Who became the big movie star action man.

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 🥴

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.

Michael Jackson's always jamming on the intro.

Alot of good points. I like the idea of natural basic reaction first come on in and get aggressive to use more complex motor functions to just overkill. I used to practice these knifehand chops and whip them brutally trying to learn how to non-telegraph them and I got them quickly to hit a bag so hard it would sound like I'm a lumberjack chopping a tree down and I'm aiming it to the throat. Some guy asked me what my style was and I said TKD and he said my style looked alot like Kali. I never heard it Kali before. He asked why I was always aiming for the throat violently and I told him just in case the person is on drugs and will not go down or stop any other way. He told me to go for the spleen because it's safer and less likely to kill someone. He said my strikes were very powerful whipping motions and way too dangerous to be aiming for the throat and I'd be looking at prison if I struck people that way. Idk, I still like strikes like this as a just in case. You know?

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

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.

I’m a very small man, 5’3 and 165 lbs. I have to get in close if I want be effective in fighting.

It works. Used thousands of times Bail Enforcement- Bodyguards- Bar Bouncers - Law Enforcement - Military. Emperado died testing these things out in Bar fights. He was stabbed by knife expert Shimabakuro in the kidney while fighting someone and was taken to the ground. Charles Godin witness along with several others. This is why the Kempo guys started doing the clearing movement at the end of a technique. To develop look around in case someone else is around who may stick you with a knife while fighting.

Hello...it was Joe Emperado ( his brother ) who was stabbed breaking up a fight not the founder Adriano. Instead of going to the hospital , he went home . Poor decision

Kajukenbo sounds like the Street Fighter character Dan...😂

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.
