Kajukenbo
By Kuseru

Kajukenbo takes its name from Karate, Judo, Kenpo, and Boxing. Kajukenbo was created in Hawaii by five masters who combined their individual martial arts to develop a style of fighting at all ranges and speeds. To test their techniques, the founders would get into fights, if the technique worked consistently in street fighting it was kept.

Kajukenbo concentrates on being effective at all ranges and types of fighting, from kicking to grappling. Training is physically rigorous and very intense. At higher levels Chi skills are taught.
