From the Publishers of the Professional Action Library:
Founder of the brutal Wun Hop Kuen Do style of Kajukenbo, Sifu Al Dacascos is no stranger to real-world violence, and in this video, he teaches you how to bridge the gap between dojo-based martial arts and gutter-based self-defense. Basing his techniques on what works on the street and only on what works on the street, he shows functional, vicious attacks and counterattacks to keep your opponent in pain, off-balance and wishing he’d picked on somebody else. In Volume One: Introductory Concepts, you will learn the basics of range, attack angles and how to target your attacker’s weak spots.
Dacascos then turns up the heat in Volume Two: Fundamental Techniques, teaching hard-hitting attack and defense drills, feints and deceptions, hand trapping and more. Wrapping it up with Volume Three: Real-World Applications, he shows you defenses and counterattacks against many common street assaults, including dealing with multiple opponents. Fighting is a nasty business: learn from his decades of experience rather than the risk of trial and error.
It is interesting to hear an outsider’s impression of Kajukenbo.
Obviously he has only limited exposure to Kajukenbo and a very superficial understanding of the history and traditions but most of it is rather accurate.
He also discusses how it real self defense differs from “garbage” marital arts training which is labeled as self defense.

Joanna found this video of Judo randori (free-style practice / sparring) in a tournament that was held in Madrid last month.
Randori can be thought of as the opposite of “kata”, which are prearranged forms and patterns, usually practiced solo.
For the record, it is better than a lot of the Aikido randori I have seen.

What is wrong with this demonstration of sombrada? I can count 4 things just by watching the first 10 seconds of the video. How many can you come up with and what are they? As a hint, watch carefully. Does it display any of our training principles? Don’t look so much at what they are doing {unless you do not know sombrada at all} but watch what they are NOT doing.
Sombrada teaches a lot of good things, but not when done like this.
We will discuss in class.
