Kajukenbo Karate vs. Kung Fu San Soo

[CapitalKarate]

How do these two styles relate to each other? From what I've read on these forums, these two styles seem to be considered the "deadliest" or "most effective" street styles.

I personally would go with Kajukenbo due to the fact that I've heard more that san soo doesn't spar nearly as much and that originally Emperado(do I have the right name?) made his classes physically tough, wanted his students to be able to take a pucn/kick and be in top physical condition.

I've never trained in San Soo but from what I've seen of it, it is very similar to Kajukenbo. Strike, take down, and finish the person off.

Deeming certain arts the "deadliest" or "most effective" is arbitrary. Many folks think their art is the most effective, but the effectiveness lies in the practitioner- Not simply the art.

Kajukenbo is based on self-defense, and takes parts of many arts to become a well-rounded one. I have trained a little with folks who come from San-Soo, some movements actually seem similar to Kempo, they also said they sparred quite a bit, maybe it varies with each school.

I think both are adequate and sufficiently "deadly" if that is what you are shooting for-

I know there's no such thing as the deadliest or most effective, that's why I put quotation marks around each phrase/word.
