Continually refine our performances.
Kajukenbo’s technical program is consistent with the art’s frame of mind and objective, that is to say in motion. In this new program, we will introduce to you the basis and the adaptation to speed, coordination, and synchronization between the upper part and the lower part, fists, legs.
The film was shot during the training by Master Angel Garcia in Paris.
