Combination 78 – Did they get a bulk discount on Tiger Claws?

This one is pretty elaborate, and goes big on the tiger claw content. Chris and I had some opinions on some parts, and I go into that in the video. Upon further review, the double tiger claw strike portion should probably have the lower claw go to the groin. Take a look and see if you agree with my suggestions for possible edits. Let me know here or in the comments on YouTube.

The Kajukenbo Alphabets

Often people notice that there are / were 26 combinations or so up to black, and hear about the Kajukenbo Alphabets and wonder – is there a connection? I certainly did. There is a video on YouTube that demonstrates the combinations. It’s by Mitch Powell, historian of the KSDI, and that’s about as authoritative as it gets. It’s shot clearly, and includes reverse angles. I watched the whole thing, and in my opinion, there’s not a whole lot of overlap. There are a few flashes of ‘maybe that piece’ but they were few and far between. Take a look for yourself.

Combination 76

This one has the spirit of ’76 – like a revolution. Mainly the French Revolution. Why? The Guillotine. From an odd setup, you finish with a guillotine. I ended up editorializing quite a bit on this one. I don’t think you should drop into a guillotine, but should rather remain standing to complete the choke. Unless you have a fairly good grappling background, you could be opening yourself up to trouble. There are some details that need to be addressed, and simply dropping to the ground to finish it can open you up to some nasty counters.
