I haven't visited them yet, but I hear good things.

I was thinking more on the lines of the flying spinning reverse one legged blood choke from the southpaw stance.

Kajukenbo is different from school to school, many DO cater to children as I do...
estellermma.com checkout the "news and info" link for videos
BTW Big dude with dreads is my student since he was 9 yrs old, as was the guy that did the knife fight sequence, also if you watch the episode again you will see children training in the backround, My kids attended the shooting on Saturday and Sunday...
Jimmy was wonderful with them teaching them on the breaks from shooting, I will always love him for the time he took with my kids.

Probably because,

a) Cheaper to film in Ca. rather than hauling everyone to Hawaii

b) GGM Gaylord is a living legend in the world of Kajukenbo, being one of Sijo Emperados original Black Belts. And GM Harpers Kajupit is a prime example of the evolution of the Kajukenbo school.
