To be truely Kajukenbo, you must have all the characteristics of Kajukenbo. Karate, Judo/Jujitsu, Kenpo, American/Chinese boxing. You may first start out with a Kenpo Technique and then flow into a Jujitsu??

History of Kenpo Characteristics and other forms
Master Ed Parker's American Kenpo carries with it the rebounding concepts, or some would say slapping art, because it sometimes looks like they hit themselves as must as the opponent. That is a characteristic! Tae Kwon Do with ther high kicks, Karate's low Japanese Stances. In Kajukenbo Chuan fa you should study all the characteristics of each art for programed training reactions. You will be able to tell who they studied with and what style they are, by watching their pre-programed movements and stylized set patterns.

History Kajukenbo Ch'uan Fa
In the 1970's Sifu Al's Dacascos school was called Kajukenbo Chuan fa. Once Prof. Emperado seen it. He said to call it soft style Kajukenbo. The term Sifu was started while at tounaments, students called Sifu Al "Sifu" other students began to ask questions about the difference in the art, which was, that Kajukenbo Chu'an Fa filled the gaps between Kajukenbo techniques. Combining Northern and Southern styles of Kung Fu.

Philosophy- Ch'uan Fa
The concepts of Kajukenbo Ch'uan Fa is to not give the attacking techniques the respect that it is asking for. Intercept it, Absoreb it, redirect it, When you make up your mind to fight or defend yourself you must go all out, above all don't give any attack the respect the opponent is trying to hurt you with. When they give you take when they take you give it back and ever let up until they are on the ground down and out! There is no half way it's all or nothing. We will attack (offense) in a preventive manner, so as not to be put into a siuation of defending or protecting.

Drills that cause characteristics
The different ways that a student trains will develop their characteristics of movement within their chosen art. Watch the way they move and do their techniques. Monitoring what they are doing, how they are standing, how they are counterattacking, what they are attacking with hand techiques or feet techiques or what ever? Look for their Strength and weaknesses.

Four levels of Defense
#1 Block and strike #2 Block and strike similtaneously #3 Block becomes strike
#4 strike then block movement (conscious thought) to defend with right principles.
Kajukenbo Ch'uan Fa will use concept's #2 #3 and #4

The two levels the Kajukenbo Ch'uan fa techniques are more influenced by:
Block and strike simultaneously using opponents attacking movements, snapping techniques, that flow together. Strike than block, using timing to beat the opponent to the draw, and angulation and upper body movement.

Drills from level #3
Using partner throwing left and right punching attacks. "Block becomes the strike"
1. outward block, finger jab 2. inward block, finger jab
3. upward block, finger jab 4. downward block, finger jab
Using cross-over inward and outward blocks with finger jabs, coming from outside to inside. Using timing and interception. concepts with angulation and body movement.

Drills from level #2
Using partner with throwing left and right roundhouse punching attacks "block and strike sametime"
1. outward block, chop 2. inward block, chop
3. upward block, chop 4. downward block,chop
You can also add the concept of leg checking and low kicking.

Just touch it principle:
Using partner throwing left and right punches at your chesh area, for safety. Beginning with right hand, you will practice slapping the punches or just touching them. Working on the inside first, practice slapping inward and outward the punches. then inward-inward, outward-outward. outward-inward. upward-downward. Remembering if you can touch a block as it is coming out, you have robbed it of it's power by 70%. If you can touch it you have blocked it, but must be followed up with a counter strike and using angles. Their strike becomes your block and your reaction to their attack. You must completely subdue your attacker.

How the Ch'uan Fa blends to Kajukenbo
Ch'uan fa is only a style when blended with Kajukenbo. Kajukenbo is the foundation Ch'uan fa is the bricks. Kajukenbo Ch'uan fa fills the gap's between the basic moves. When we do we save time and energy by using less movement, by working between the techniques.

I hope this gives you an understanding of Kajukenbo Ch'uan fa, see what you can do with your art, with these new training concepts and principles. These information was taught to me by Sifu Bill Owens.
