Thanks BB Wolf. I did overlook Kajukenbo. After you mentioned that I looked up the history of Kajukenbo. At least 12 arts went into it and covering all ranges of combat (from the ground to weapons). It sounds as about ideal a way to go about evolving an art--a bunch of black belts from different styles training together in a rough part of Hawaii. Some of their ideas pretty much parallel JKD ideas (as far as students learning to express themselves through their art and not fit themselves to a set mold). |
