Advanced Kajukenbo Karate Begins04/05/2012
Location: Community Center (map)
Time: 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Born in Hawaii in 1947, Kajukenbo is America’s first martial art. Kajukenbo is a hybrid art with elements of Karate, Judo, Kenpo and Kung Fu. The founding fathers of Kajukenbo pooled their knowledge of their respective arts and developed and tested their techniques through encounters in the most dangerous parts of Hawaii. Kajukenbo became known as “the fine art of dirty street fighting”. Kajukenbo practitioners are taught that the best defense is to be aware of your surroundings and avoid situations that might lead to harm but, they are prepared to defend themselves if needed. Kajukenbo recognizes the differences in people (age, size, and physical ability) and promotes the exploration and enhancement of their abilities. In addition to self-defense, the class has the objectives of instilling confidence and promoting respect in the student for him/her-self and others. It is also ideally suited as a family activity as participants are encouraged to practice together at home. David and Betty Polak, certified 4th degree black belts through the Kajukenbo Self Defense Institute, teach the class.
