SaiFightsMS Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Kajukenpo is an american art. It originated in Hawaii as a mixture of karate, judo, and kenpo. Well, it may be based on oriental arts but the founders proclaimed it american. The american art that the rest of the world sees to our disadvantage is the gunfight.

KickChick Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 There are hundreds and hundreds of types of martial arts throughout the world. Some countries developed their own unique martial art while others (like the U.S.A.) adapt other martial arts to fit their own situations. All it takes is to find a martial art and give your way of fighting a new name and make yourself the "master." For this reason, new martial arts and styles of martial arts appear all the time. A style may refer to a specific martial art or a variation of an established martial art. Some martial arts have been in existence for centuries, some for decades, and others for weeks. Yeah....Billy is laughing too ... all the way to the bank! And....kickboxing is a modern martial sport that combines the hand techniques of Western boxing with the kicks of the Asian martial arts. Not originated in the U.S. _________________ ITF/TKD Black Belt (1st dan)/Fitness Kickboxing Instructor (KarateForums Sensei) [ This Message was edited by: KickChick on 2002-01-07 12:12 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramcalgary Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 in the early days of pro kickboxing benny urquidez went to japan and won....many dutch fighters are phenominal at thai fighting....saying that japanese or oriental fighters are best is simply due to the history behind the arts....there are great fighters from many countries and cultures and styles.....
