The Club's History & Information
Sensi
William Beaver [6 Dans ] first introduced Kajukenbo training in Kuwait
around 1993 at the Black Belt Institute (new name is Black Belt Dojo).
Afterward, The Late Sensi Ahmad
Z. Hussein [4 Dans] continued the legacy of Kajukenbo in Kuwait for
12 years from 1998 till January 2010 when he passed away (May God Rest His Soul in Peace).
Currently, Kajukenbo
Training is being offered by highly qualified black belts, who have earned their black belt degrees under Sigung William
Beaver or The Late Sifu Ahmed Z. Hussein.
The Black Belt Dojo is an official Kajukenbo Training Center in Kuwait
and sponsored by Middle East Kajukenbo Association.
The Institute offers training classes for children and adults
Kajukenbo is simply: the perfect street-fighting
and self-defense martial arts.
Kajukenbo uses hard, fast strikes to vital points throughout the body, take-downs
involving high impact throws, and many joint and limb destruction techniques, usually as follow-ups to take-downs.
There are also blocks from attacks such as punches and defenses and disarmament of offensive weapons. The name works in
two ways: "ka" ("long life"), "ju" ("happiness"), "ken" ("fist"),
"bo" ("style") or "ka" ("karate"), "ju" ("judo"/"jujutsu"),
"ken" ("kenpo"), "bo" (Boxing and/or Chinese Boxing Kung Fu), leading to the art's philosophical
meaning: "Through this fist style, one gains long life and happiness."
