5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive Book On This Art, February 23, 2008
By 
This review is from: Kajukenbo: The Original Mixed Martial Art (Paperback)
As is seen on the T.V. show Fight Quest, the art of Kajukenbo is one the the most brutally effective martial arts in existence. Prof. John Bishop (for years one of the most respected authors of martial arts magazines)has spent years putting together and writing the first comprehensive book on this art. If anyone has questions about the art of Kajukenbo, this is the book you must have in your library.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Kajukenbo martial artist must-have, May 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kajukenbo: The Original Mixed Martial Art (Paperback)
The book's great at giving a pretty complete history of the martial art. Wish there were more techniques and katas illustrated, but realistically it would take a series (hint, hint). John Bishop couldn't have stated it best, Kajukenbo is the true mixed martial art. Great book. Kajukenbo Forever.
