Autodéfense hawaïenne Kajukenbo

Discover the Power of Kajukenbo: A Realistic Self-Defense Approach

Explore the dynamic world of Kajukenbo, a powerful martial art originating from Hawaii. Created by Grandmaster Emperado between 1947 and 1950 with the collaboration of four other military martial arts experts, Kajukenbo was designed as a highly realistic fighting style.

This self-defense film showcases the practical application of Kajukenbo in real-world urban situations, filmed on the street and with practitioners in everyday clothing. The focus is on demonstrating the style's effectiveness and understanding how specific movements are designed for real-world application, outside of the traditional dojo and without the use of a kimono.

The core principle guiding this film was spontaneity. To achieve a natural feel, movements were not heavily rehearsed. Instead, some techniques were adapted with slight variations to reflect instinctive reactions rather than rigid technique. The key elements are: Adaptation, Reactivity, and Explosiveness.

Presented by Luis and Joe Diaz, official representatives of Kajukenbo for France and students of 10th Dan Master Angel Garcia, the successor to Grandmaster Emperado, and representatives of the K.S.D.I.F.
