Kajukenbo Wun Hop Kuen Do by Al Dacascos (On Demand)

While Kenpo Karate is the most widely recognized branch of the Kajukenbo system, the three other major branches—Tum Pai, Ch'uan Fa, and Wun Hop Kuen Do—represent nearly 65% of Kajukenbo practitioners worldwide.

World-renowned Grandmaster Al Dacascos, co-founder of the original Kajukenbo Tum Pai and Ch'uan Fa systems and founder of Kajukenbo's Wun Hop Kuen Do, explains and demonstrates the influences that have shaped the evolution of Kajukenbo in the new millennium.

This instructional focuses on developing fluid, dynamic movement through kinetic drills rather than static exercises. Students will learn to create a relentless "buzz-saw" effect using elbows and knees while working from the inside fighting range. Six-count drills and countering techniques, performed from both standing and ground positions, are designed to develop natural flow even in awkward or unexpected situations.

Grandmaster Dacascos also demonstrates spearing and posting techniques that blend defensive and offensive upper-body movements. The video introduces the core principles and concepts of Wun Hop Kuen Do while emphasizing the training methods that form the foundation of the system. In addition, viewers will learn a streamlined approach to defending against both edged and blunt weapons by applying the principles of angles, timing, and speed.

This is the first in a series of Wun Hop Kuen Do instructional videos and serves as an introduction to the concepts, principles, and fighting philosophy that Grandmaster Al Dacascos has brought to the forefront of the Kajukenbo system.
