Mc Duffy's Kajukenbo Self

Kajukenbo was created between 1947 and 1949 at Palama Settlement on Oahu, Hawaii. It developed out a group calling themselves the Black Belt Society, which consisted of black belts from various martial arts backgrounds who met to train and learn with each other. This was the beginning of an evolutionary, adaptive style designed to combine the most useful kinds of the arts. There are five men credited as co-creators of Kajukenbo, and it is from their respective arts that Kajukenbo draws it's name.
