Kajunkenbo Hawaiin self-defense

One of my favorite arts, along with Hawaiin Karazenpo go shijutsu and lima lama. The practioners move forward, not backward in response to an attack. The strikes are in close, and very had to see coming. The opponenet is overwhelmed with a series of continous strikes, rather the old block punch, block, kick, step back, block, kick, you get the picture.

Wow! That is extremely cool. Seems very useful for self-defense in a street attack situation. Where can I learn it, or maybe have my daughter take it?

 

Listen to him! :smile: Also, since you are in the sparring phase, practice your kicks without broadcasting them. What do I mean by that? When you step in to kick, keep your head at the same level as it is in your standing position. Most people bob up and down, thus broadcasting (for example, a front snap kick) the fact that your are going to throw a kick, thus setting themselves up for sweep. Practice at home.

Keep it up broheim!

Abner - Do you know anything about a martial art named Bando. I believe it originated in Burma. What other style might it resemble?

 

Hi Kizmet,

I once worked out with a Bando guy. From what he showed me, the katas based on animal forms, looked very similar toKung Fu. They also teach elbows strikes, trapping, some ground work, etc. They have some wild flying kicks as well, and use their elbows and knees A LOT.

I you have a chance to take it, take it.

This was just a guy I met. Talking about MA and Bando is his thing. He's saying that Bando is about counterstrikes. Back off. Let your opponent make a move and then respond hard. Part of that sounds appealing to me. There's no teaching opportunity involved. The closest I've come is going to a boxing gym. For some reason that has appeal for me. I could do kickboxing too. I just don't have the time.

 

I was taking Kajukenbo for a while, but had to stop due to my work schedule. Great system. It was very similar to my Kenpo background.

 

I will PM you later. I just got came back from being on the tat table. :smile:

Have a good one!

Western boxing is great! I tell people that don't have a lot of time to take up western boxing to learn how to avoid getting hit, and also to learn the strong punching. If you mix that up with some Thai kicks later on, you got it made.

Get to training girl!!!!!!!!!!!! :drillsergeant: Hut! Hut! Hut! Hut!

I am fascinated with people who has learned any kind of martial arts. I will let my son or daughter someday to learn this arts.

 

My tkd instructor taught us not only to not broadcast the fact that we are throwing a kick, but to disguise the type and direction of the kick until the last possible moment.
You can throw a few different kicks by starting with a front snap kick.
For example, pull your knee up to chest height as in a front snap kick and then pivot your hip to throw a roundhouse or a hook kick. The defender sees a front snap kick coming and will block accordingly.

My instructors were so much faster and younger than me that I couldn't actually land anything on them unless they allowed it. You really have to trick people just like in basketball with fakes and feints.

 

Different philosophies. Many/most TKD schools teach a SPORT type of point sparring. I don't. High flying kicks in the sport tournament ring might be ok, but not on the street. Broadcasting? No no. I still remember when Van Damne got his ass beat in a night club by a common street fighter with zero MA training. The fight took place in close quarters in a bar, Van Damne got knocked out before he got to do any of his fancy footwork. Lights out!

I don't mean to knock TKD. However, I do not view MA as a sport.
