About Hawaiian Kempo
Hawaiian Kempo (a.k.a. Kajukenbo) blends kenpo, karate, judo, jiu-jitsu, boxing and wrestling. The system was developed by John Hackleman, founder & owner of The Pit Martial Arts in Arroyo Grande, CA where he teaches fighters to apply Hawaiian Kempo in the ring.  The Pit places a heavy emphasis on The Pit's specialty strength and conditioning program. In order to add more time for a fitness-oriented curriculum aimed at producing well-conditioned athletes, training katas were eliminated from the original KaJuKenBo formula.  Practicality and usability are emphasized in the areas of striking and grappling.  Bag training is emphasized both standing and on the ground. It is a no holds barred fighting system of offensive and defensive methods, putting equal emphasis on striking with hands and feet, immobilization and controlling the opponent, as well as projections & takedowns.  Glover is a 7th degree Black Belt under John.
