FIGHT QUEST - KAJUKENBO ​

Fight Quest will be a Discovery Channel prime time flagship program of the Spring and Summer of 2008, airing in 80 countries worldwide.
They will be filming a episode on Kajukenbo November 28 through December 6 , 2007. Doing the work for the Discovery network is North South Productions. A New York-based Producer of documentary series for most of the major cable channels.
In this series, two American martial art students, Jimmy Smith and Doug Anderson, travel the globe to investigate different schools of martial arts. From an intense form of stick fighting in the Philippines (Kali) to studying Muay Thai in Thailand. Jimmy and Doug immerse in each culture, learn about its history, train in their traditional martial art, and ultimately, test their skills and courage against a local fighter skilled in the art. The students enthusiastically embrace the teachings of their instructors and the traditional rituals of the cultures, while struggling to learn a fighting style that they will have to put into action after less than a week of training. They are along for their visceral, educational, and sometimes dangerous journey through the worlds most renowned and respected fight forms.

The students will be trained individually by a different "Master Trainer" at a training facility over approximately a week-long duration. At the end of the week, each of the students will go head to head in a fight with a few of the master's experienced students to see how much they've learned . During the week, the extremely respectful, curious, patient and hard-working students would be at the mercy of the instructors - following their every command, working and training on the same level as any of the others at the facility. Because the program will also be looking at the culture surrounding Kajukenbo - the instructors and others at the facility will introduce the students to special ceremonies, traditions of the martial art and customs, etc.

Grandmaster Charles Gaylord will head up this episode. He will also be one of the "Master Trainers" along with Prof. John Bono, putting one of the students through a week of Kajukenbo Training in the Hayward (Calif.)training facility.

Professor Greg Harper will also be one of the "Master Trainers" putting one of the students through a week of Kajukenbo Training in the San Jose (Calif.) training facility.

Loki: Doug really spoke highly of the Krav guys, and their realistic fighting style.

Did you see the Daly Show interview? I was there when Avivit elbowed him in the face, I was a bit shocked myself

Also, the pics you put up: I've never heard of Kajukenbo, and therefore anything I say is sheer prejudice, but that looks like a biker MA if I've ever seen one (no disrespect intended, just kinda funny first impression)

A few of the guys like their Harleys. In fact we filmed a self defense scene in a biker bar, don't know if it will make the final cut.

It's just some of the type of guys that like the art. There's tons of bouncers, cops, bikers, High School teachers etc. that take up Kajukenbo. If what you do works, you'll attract people who need something that works.

Don't forget about the computer geeks (myself) . Also, I know there is a minister as well. We have the whole Ying and Yang thing going for us.

You're right, I forgot about the sadistic Computer Geeks that like to take it beyond the keyboard.

Violent preachers I'm used to. My pastors used to practice the "Laying on of Hands" on me and forget to pray half the time when I was a kid.

We invited the Fight Quest guys out to Anaheim (Ca.) for the Disney Martial Arts Festival for a meet and greet.
