there is a really good Kajukenbo school in Inglewood at 209 N. La brea Ave the phone number was 213 672 1578 when I was last in the area (it may have changed)
I'm not sure if Al Williams is still there but he was one of the top competitors on the tournament curcit for many years, plus a damn good person.
There a a few good schools in Long Beach also

You need to visit whatever school or schools you decide on and take a good long look at what they offer. Don't be afraid of asking questions about how they train and on any topic that fits what you want out of a school
