Interested
in joining?
Due to "quality control", new students are only accepted every 2
months based on the current club enrollment. Sifu Jeff Macalolooy would like to
keep class sizes small to ensure that each student gets personal attention.
Regular class attendance is very important. Students who cannot dedicate
themselves to the club will be asked to stop training until they can make the
full commitment.
Space is limited but you can reserve your spot by coming in and signing up with
Liza Macalolooy, our Business Administrator, at the Dragons Den Kajukenbo Club
or contact her at DragonsdenClub@yahoo.com.
Please e-mail her for information on the next new student White Belt
Workshop.
Enrollment
for the Filipino Martial Arts Program is open.
Please feel free to come in and watch a class or contact Sifu Arnel Mendoza at dragon_sticks@yahoo.com
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Kajukenbo?
Kajukenbo is the first truly American Martial Art founded in 1947. In Hawaii, 5
Masters calling themselves the "Black Belt Society" began to create a
new art by blending Tang Soo Do (Korean Karate), Boxing, Se Keino Ryu Judo,
Kodenkan Danzan Ryu Ju-Jitsu, Kosho Ryu Kenpo, Escrima (Filipino Weaponry), and
Chinese Boxing (Chu'an Fa Kung-Fu). The name of the
style is an acronym that represents each of the 5 main styles. Ka Ju Ken Bo
2. What is the "White Belt Workshop?"
The Workshop is designed to be an orientation for new students. It is an
introductory lesson. Students will be taught the traditions and etiquette of
Kajukenbo and the Dragons Den. They will also learn basic stances, strikes,
blocks, kicks, and how to fall and roll correctly. New students are required to
attend a Workshop before they can join the regular classes. The next New
Student/White Belt Workshop is on Sunday, June 4,
2006.
Kids from 1:00-2:00 / 2:00-3:30 for Adults
Please contact Liza,
our Business Administrator for more information or just drop by the club!
3. How old do you have to be?
Children must be at least 6 years old and have finished kindergarten. Children
and adults of all ages should consult a physician before beginning training.
4. What is the training like?
Kajukenbo training is very intense. Students are encouraged to make contact in
order to simulate real life situations. Techniques are not
"watered-down". Karate kicks, rapid Kenpo hand strikes, Judo
takedowns, Ju-Jitsu locks, and soft, circular movements of Kung Fu characterize
Kajukenbo Self-defense Techniques. Western Boxing and Wrestling are also
incorporated into sparring, teaching each student how to fight standing up, as
well as on the ground.
Sifu Jeff Macalolooy, believing in change, is always improving the class by
implementing new knowledge and allowing the art to continue growing. His
interpretation of Kajukenbo is very progressive, although he still teaches the
traditional, classical techniques as well.
For kids’ 6-14 years old, the focus is on teaching respect, self-discipline,
building self-confidence, and learning effective self-defense.
In the adult class, we focus on street self-defense. Cardiovascular endurance
and flexibility are also addressed.
The goal of the Dragons Den Kajukenbo Club is to create well-rounded martial
artists and to help each student reach their potential.
