It's an ancient art based on deception and cunning. When challenged to a fight, you tell your opponent that you left your gi in the car, and you'll be right back. So you go to your car...
...And turn that little shit into Roadkill.
Very effective.

Kajukenbo has more combat potential than anything Ive seen. If you want to use a martial art in a fight, this is the one to go.
