Kajukenbo: Kajukenbo is a traditional mixed martial art from Hawaii. It was created between 1947-49 and continues to evolve. KAJUKENBO is an acronym and stands for: KA: Karate, JU: Judo/Jujitsu, KEN: Kenpo, BO: Western Boxing & Chinese Boxing (Gung Fu). Our approach to training is both traditional and modern. We practice forms or “katas,” street self-defense techniques, and combat sports such as point-fighting, kickboxing, submission grappling, and MMA. We stress the importance of honor, integrity, respect, and discipline. Students train to strengthen and unify their Spirit, Mind, and Body; The “Kajukenbo Trinity.” Since Kajukenbo comes from Hawaii, we train with the spirit of Aloha as one Ohana.

It was originally created in Japan, but eventually made its way to Brazil, evolving into what is commonly known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Our submission curriculum is in line with Master Baret Yoshida of Und1sputed San Diego.
