Kajukenbo Clips

[Hand Sword]

Thank you sir.

In your opinion, do these clips still resemble Kajukenbo, in terms of movement, and overall appearance?

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":

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:

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":

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

Marlon
