Finally got back to some training.

I went to a Kajukenbo class last Thursday. Right now, it is run at the same place where I train for boxing. I thought I could use both boxing and get my martial arts training back in line since I'm in law enforcement.

Anyway, I was really impressed with the viciousness of the art. IMO, vicious equals effective, for obvious reasons. My two boys are going to train with daddy, too.

I like that the dojo is in a barrio, instead of some suburban area. It has been my experience that dojos in rougher neighborhoods tend to teach the children how to survive more than they teach them how to get trophies. Although I find nothing wrong with competition, I want effectiveness for my job.

Coming from Shaolin Goju years ago, I was feeling bad that I would not be keeping my loyalty to the Shinjimasu International Martial Arts Association, but since I can't find anything in Tucson, I can only do what I can do.

Anyway, it was awesome.

One should not feel loyalty to a single martial art system. Every system has something new to offer.

That's awesome you are enjoying your new art. There is a serious lack of Kajukenbo here in the Richmond, Va area. I would love to see it in action, perhaps some day I guess.
I am not familair with Shaolin Goju..could you please explain it? Is it a combination of Shaolin Kung Fu and Goju Ryu Karate?
