Anyone know much of this style?

The best victory is when the opponent surrenders

of its own accord before there are any actual

hostilities...It is best to win without fighting.

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 has lost his luck, he meets a beautiful woman.

It is a branch of Kajukenbo.

 

Try a google search.

If you find out any specifics on this you should post it. Maybe Pineapple has some insight as he practices Kajukenbo.

So far what I understand is that it was a chinese style that was developed mostly in Hawaii.

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.

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.
