Wow,
the first clip was great. The transitition from Kaju hand techniques to the grappling take downs flowed very nicely.

I did'nt realize how kenpo like kajukenbo can appear! The only exsposure I have ever had to any kajukenbo like art was KI Kajukenpo. That appeared to be much stiffer than the Kajukenbo I watched on these clips. Are these clips a fair representation of the art? I was really surprised at the speed, and fluidity of the demos.

The 2nd clip had a technique off of the grab and punch, but it looked alot like Thundering Hammers, as far as the forearm strike and hit to the back of the head.

Here is a little bio on Mr. Garcia:

I'm not familiar with "KI Kajukenpo" or it's possible connection to Kajukenbo. Unless it's Algene Cauralia's "Kajukenpo" which has a strong Okinawan influence.
These clips are representative of the "Original Method". The other methods are a little more soft and circular, but with the same blending of jujitsu and judo.
If you see some resemblances to EPAK, of course it's because Emperado and Parker had the same kenpo teacher. The deferences are the directions they took after they left Prof. Chow.

Mr.Bishop,

Regarding your son's brawl. One word truly comes to mind,WOW! Now about your response to my earlier post. I was indeed refering to Mr.Caurali's(sp?)Karate Institute Kajukenpo. The head instructor of one of the kenpo studios I attended, and the owner operator of a KI studio in our area. Had a comparative seminar back in the late 80's. I thought it was pretty interesting. I think our rapid strikes were very new to the KI students.

Well, it's not my son. It's Kim Kingi's son, and GM Rick Kingi's grandson from Los Angeles Kajukenbo.
Caraulia went up to brown belt in Kajukenbo then moved to east. He actually won the Robert Trias's first USKA world championship as a brown belt. He later affliated with the USKA and completed his black belt in the Shorei/Shuri Ryu system that Trias taught. So they have a very strong Okinawan and Japanese influence.
I think the only Kajukenbo school in Ohio is Ray Anderson's school in Lorain Co.

They're not part of the core cirriculum of the "Original Method", but they are additional variations that Angel Garcia has added to his school & seminar cirriculum.

Very much so. You see the closing with kenpo strikes blended with escrima cutting type strikes, then the takedowns, finished with groundwork with strikes or submission locks.
Weapons defenses usually start with jujitsu to seize the weapon hand, disjointing to disarm, takedown, followed by kenpo/escrima strikes, dance of death.

The clips look very good and very sk to me. I can see many variations of combo's in there...18, 74, 3, and some animal techniques also. Many of Prof.I's no mind moves and flow are very evidently in the same family. I know they are different from orginal method but i have to say, i have seen some footage of GM Villari in seminars from the 90's and these guyus move more like him than many sk guys i know.

The first clip appears to be some freestyle repetition that students would do against a "monkey line" of attackers. The combinations are left for the students to create from the technques thay have learned.

The other clips are additional defenses Angel Garcia has added to his cirriculum.

Kajukenbo techniques are based on a premise of "Par, Stun, Put Away". So defensive combinations usually have 3-5 techniques that normally block or catch(par), strike (stun), and then take down or dislocate (put away).
As in this example of "Punch Counter 4": http://youtube.com/watch?v=pJ0eLytCFE4

Once the technique has been learned and tested on, the student is required to create a "adlib" to it.
This could be as simply as 3-4 more finishing strikes like this:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ltQ8bE9NQns

Or, it can be quite elaborate, with several strikes or dislocations. And the "adlib" may be differant everytime it's done, even if it's done at the end of the same technique over and over.

The "Put Away" would mean to finish the fight once and for all.
Sort of like this example of "Club Counter 4": http://youtube.com/watch?v=duPqUgPxJJ4

I like the adlib concept. we do not do enough of that...it is either flow or techniques. I think i will begin teaching the concept. Thanks. The first link is the one where i saw many familiar techniques and combinations from the sk system. Thanks again...great stuff

Master Bishop,

Just curious, but, has the grappling always been done that way in your system? I guess I'm just making a mental comparison, in that, it looks like a BJJ flavor to it. Was that way incorporated into the sytem, or has it always been there, like that?

Well, historically, Brazilian jiu jitsu is judo, with a emphasis on the "newaza", ground techniques. But that's another topic.

Kajukenbo has both Danzan Ryu jujitsu and Kodokan judo in it. I can't speak for the other branches and methods, but I will say that in the "Original Method" 65-75% of the combinations have jujitsu or judo techniques blended into them.
Once an attacker is on the ground, our primarily response is to ground and pound, and get back on our feet quiclky. But we do teach some ground holds, chokes, and locks, and train some in grappling.
I know some people hate the term "anti-grappling", but it describes something we also do quite a bit of, especially with the women. In other words we work on how not to being taken down, and how to escape if you are.

For the most part those in Kajukenbo that do participate in sporting competition, do primarily tournament, kickboxing, or MMA competition. Because grappling competition is now becoming popular, some Kajukenbo people have joined in, and in turn spent more time on their ground grappling.
In Kajukenbo tournaments like Sijo Emperado's annual birthday tournament in Las Vegas, we like to tailor the competition to what we do. So we will have hard contact sparring, grappling, and escrima stick fighting.

Thank you. That's what was sticking out to me. "Our family" deals with the ground thing in a certain way, as you said. BJJ deals with it too, in it's way. To me, they do the same thing, but, have a different "look" to them, being their own separate animals at this point. That's what was sticking me. The clips, as well as all the other stuff I've seen lately, seems to be taking on the "BJJ look and feel", as opposed to what I was used to seeing before. That's why I was just curious as if it was done like that from the beginning, with your guys.

Have been thinking about this sequence for controlling the conflict for a few days now (par, stun, put away). By chance, my cross training in Kung Fu San Soo complements my SK because KFSS follows this format also. So I was fortunate to 'discover' this concept apart from Kajukenbo, even tho never having had the opportunity to study that art. Very affirming to see the concept embedded in Kaju, which I respect very much as a real street defense art. And seeing Angel Garcia use it...man, oh man. Would love to get some DVDs by this gentleman.

OT: Am still re-watching the various clips/rereading responses here. Lots of meat, so lots to chew over. :ultracool Appreciate those who are working to add more, and keep the thread going. It continues to be useful.

Master Bishop,

I know that you are apart of the original Kajukenbo method, and provide clips of such. By that designation I assume that there is a newer form of Kajukenbo. is there footage of that, specifically of techniques that you have shown, so a comparison can be made?

Also, Is the new style endorsed by Grand Master Emperado?

Also, Is the new style endorsed by Grand Master Emperado?

The "Original" method is just that, the original method of Kajukenbo. It's sometimes referred to as the "Kenpo Karate" branch, or the "Original Hardstyle" method.
The "newer" forms of Kajukenbo are nothing more then the other branches, "Chuan Fa", "Wun Hop Kuen Do", and "Tum Pai". Chuan Fa and Wun Hop Kuen Do were developed in the 60's, and "Tum Pai" was developed in the early 80's.
These 4 "styles" or branches make up the Kajukenbo system, and have been approved by Sijo Emperado.
There are no commercially produced videos of the Tum Pai and Chuan Fa branches. Unique Publications has produced 4 videos on the Wun Hop Kuen Do branch, featuring GM Al Dacascos.
I haven't seen any video clips from "Chuan Fa", or "Tum Pai" anywhere on the web. There are a few "Wun Hop Kuen Do" clips on You Tube, but their all from tournament competition. Not really self defense technique clips, but they give you a idea of the contrast between the original hardstyle forms and the soft forms of WHKD.

Yea, the kid probably had black diapers. His grandfather is a grandmaster, his mother and 5 uncles are black belts. He had a gi on long before a t-ball uniform.

Well, in any case, impressive that a kid that young would have the skills to keep two people at bay for that long. Very nice.

this is called palama set 8 on youtube. It apears to me tha t the skk kata 3 was derived from this kicking form as it has most of the key kicking sequences in it.

What is limpo? Where did it originate? What does it teach? The hand movements are very specific, how do they relate to fighting?

Limpo is a common kung fu form that is also taught in the "Chuan Fa", and "Wun Hop Kuen Do" branches of Kajukenbo.
I've seen it done a few times, but have never practiced it. I don't know the applications or bunkai for the form.
Perhaps if you ask the question in the "Chinese" sections here, you could get a description of the applications.

There-in lies the problem. You take movements from a kata that was never meant to have bunkai, and place these movements into a newly created kata. So now you have to create a bunkai for movements that never had bunkai. And were never put into a sequence that would lend itself to bunkai.

Well i can see your point. i would like to note that i do not have specificly given bunkai on the kicking sequences and as you said they are good training in and of themselves. As for the rest of the form...like any form someone thought it worthwhile to create and keep...it is up to the users of the form, the students of the system to honour it or disgard it...the worst though is to blindly mimic movements and perpetuate ignorance and ineffective training.
And before i am missunderstood again. i teach 3 kata, i like 3 kata do i fully understand or believe all the movements of 3 kata have deep hidden bunkai...no...is there legitimate bunkai/ applications to be found, learned and practiced...yes.

respectfully,
Marlon

For the most part I agree with you. I feel that most kata is good to develop balance, movement, etc. I just don't feel a need to break it down step by step, and go on a lifelong quest to find the hidden meaning of every technique. With a lot of modern katas, sometimes there is no bunkai, or it's made up by whatever instructor is teaching it at the time.
And with some of the old katas you'll find bunkai that has no application to modern self defense. Things like a technique to defend against a warrior armed with a sword or spear. Or a flying kick made to knock a soldier off his horse.

Finally got the chance to watch Part 2. Just as impressed as I was when I watched the first part. Lovely stuff Mr. Bishop.

It is very much like the Lau Gar I did for so many years before my bike accident (without the higher and more risky kick techniques of course :D). Of course, the emphasis in kung fu is to defend, counter and feint with the arms and do the heavy attacking with the legs whereas kenpo seems to be much more upper body oriented but the core principles are very much aligned - or at least enough for me to appreciate and understand what you are so very clearly explaining :tup:.
