cathal Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 Anyone know much of this style? .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
Mr. Mike Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 well the ka is for karate, the ju is for jiujutsu, and the kempo is of course the style that is translated from chuan fa. Fist law/chuan fa/kenpo/kempo...all same thing. When a man's fortunate time comes, he meets a good friend;When a man has lost his luck, he meets a beautiful woman.-anonymous
cathal Posted March 13, 2005 Author Posted March 13, 2005 So this is it a Kung Fu style? .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
Red J Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 It is a branch of Kajukenbo. Try a google search. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
cathal Posted March 14, 2005 Author Posted March 14, 2005 Well, so much for discussion. Thanks anyway folks. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
Red J Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 If you find out any specifics on this you should post it. Maybe Pineapple has some insight as he practices Kajukenbo. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
cathal Posted March 14, 2005 Author Posted March 14, 2005 So far what I understand is that it was a chinese style that was developed mostly in Hawaii. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
Red J Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Here are a few links. http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=14241&highlight=kajukenbo http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=13148&highlight=kajukenbo http://www.kajukenbo.org/history/ http://www.kajukenboinfo.com/ Ka - Karate (Tang Soo Do) Ken - Kenpo Ju- Judo and Jiu-Jitsu Bo - Chinese boxing (kung fu) My understanding is that the Chuan Fa branch (there are 4 major divisions) has more of a Chinese influence to it than does the more traditional groups. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
stoneheart Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Kajukenbo has considerable variation between all of its subsystems. In general, the chuan-fa branch is supposed to be more like kung fu than the Original Method, which frequently resembles hard style karate (see the blocking system and the forms, if you need evidence). In actual practice, I don't know how meaningful an expression "more like kung fu" is. There is clearly some grafting of wing chun concepts like gate and centerline theory onto chuan'fa kajukenbo, but students of this MA rarely have that smooth blending of technique that is the hallmark of chinese martial arts. It's hard to discuss such a general topic... It's not like chuan'fa kajukenbo is a strongly standardized art.
cathal Posted March 15, 2005 Author Posted March 15, 2005 Thank you Red J, stoneheart. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
