The Art
What is
Kajukenbo?
Kajukenbo is a hybrid martial art developed in Hawaii in the late 1940s with an emphasis on practical, real-world self-defense.
Its training draws from multiple martial arts disciplines and includes striking, kicking, joint-control techniques, throws, ground-fighting concepts and defensive training. That variety creates a system designed to build adaptable martial artists rather than students limited to one type of technique.
