Kajukenbo - The first American martial art

[Dean G]

It's funny you'd say that; I always noticed the similarities (effective fighting at all ranges, emphasis on cross training, use what works, etc.), but when I went to a JKD seminar with Sifu Tim Tackett at Sifu Dean Goldade's I couldn't help but notice all the dissimilarities at first (I felt like a white belt again! ). As soon as I was thinking that, though, we started doing some different drills that were very similar to some Kajukembo alphabet drills. It would be cool to do a seminar with someone like Sigung John Bono who's ranked in both.

Britt,
Sorry brother... I had Professor Bono down to my place about a month ago... We had a great time. I will bring him back a couple of times next year.. I will let you know when.

Went out to California to GGM Gaylord's 70th birthday bash in Oakland last weekend.. former Sigung Bono was promoted to Professor 8th degree.... Cool huh!! And your are right... He is one bad mofo.. :-)

Anyway, keep up the hard training and I will keep you on the seminar mailing list.

Man, sorry I missed it! That's okay, though, I'll catch y'all next time around. Do you have my email or snail mail addresses for seminars? I can't remember if I gave them to you.
