San Diego Kali, Kajukenbo or Kenpo with solid Judo element?

Well, there might be an upcoming throwdown in Orange County and it would be cool to get a good San Diego showing, and then maybe we could plan a regular time to get everyone together to work on stuff. There's a variety of arts being trained by bullies in SD (kung fu, escrima, tkd, grappling etc) and it would be cool to see what everyone brings to the table. Should be like the founding of kajukempo.

I am in San Diego (Spring Valley actually) and looking to hook up with some other local guys to work on stuff. San Soo is known as a "fighting style" so I am surprised at that answer...

Balboa Park with a fencing mask and some rattan? I would LOVE that...Off to Ebay to search: "fencing mask".

p.s. I will be attending any local Throw-Downs to get my a$$ handed to me.

sorry i have'nt got back to you. no we are not known for our sparing capiblties we are very technical. though our instructor has done some bjj with the machados & some of us have done some tournaments our instructor also did very little lemeco and some of us played around alittle bit with that. as a san soo school we are alot more open minded then most. i have found most san soo schools have this attitude that they are the best art on the planet wich is a shame.

yeah, I've heard that Jimmy Woo was quite the fighter but he didn't produce too many good fighters, most of the KFSS community is more interested in martial arts than fighting if that makes any sense...
