The one you don't recognize is a Mo Duk Pai school. Mo Duk Pai, to make a very long story short, is a Kajukenbo derivative. That particular school also has a strong MMA program, regularly hosts Scott Sonnon, and does innovative fitness stuff.
Well, I'm somewhat...am over weight and would like to use kung fu as a way to exercise. But not only for that reason. Is KF too straneous for something like this?
I think of Kaju as the original Mixed Martial Art.Thanks.
Is it me or is it strange that Kajukenbo is being called Kung Fu? I realize KF is one of the arts that made up Kajukenbo (although I do not know what particular style) but it's an art all its own.
Don't mean to hijack the thread...just really curious.
Thanks.

Thanks!Not really, three of the four major branches of kajukenbo have major input from KF systems beyond that of the Kajukenbo Kenpo or original method. The Tum Pai branch has heavy influences from Tai Chi, the Chuan Fa from a variety of northern and southern systems, and I thought Won Hop Kuen Do has mostly a northern KF influence but I may be wrong about that. Honestly when you look at many of the uniforms, the titles, and the forms I think "kung fu" rather than "kajukenbo" but thats probably because I came up under the "original style." It may be more accurate to call it "kajukenbo" but lets face it Joe Schmoe will never know what that is.
