Kajukenbo in NYC/NJ area

[zenshin]

Hello,

  I am pretty much new to the forum. I recently watched the episode of Fight Quest and was really really impressed with what I saw. I always thought ( and forgive me) that Kajukenbo was like other Kempo styles I saw growing up with a bunch of fat lazy guys doing bad techniques. I have a muay thai background and love to find a gym in the NJ ( west Orange area) or NYC to train in. What I saw on fight quest was exactly what I was looking for, I hope someone operates a similar gym in my area. I love the Gaylord method and GM Harper looked like a genuine bad a$$ and is my new idol lol wish these guys where here in NYC lol. Any info on a club in my area and a description of what they do or method they belong too would be appreciated, thanks...

Whats up bro. I'm out east of you on Long Island NY.

Anyway, there's this school in NYC: http://www.estacada.net/index.html
I hear good things from some people around here.

There's also Sifu Dusty's school in New Rochelle, NY. http://www.kajukenbo.org/schools/school.php?schoolid=0013

I do not know how either of these guys train, let alone how similar it is to what you saw on the show, but I've heard good things so it might be worth taking a look if either are within your commuting range.

Thanks I contacted the Estacada guy so I am waiting for feedback. Thing is on his website it said he does privates so lets see how affordable it is. I thought I would be more impressed by the Krav Maga since I have a bit of training in it, but these Kajukenpo guys where hard core, plus I think it would blend well with my Muay Thai background. Thing is it looks like Kajukenpo is more of a west coast thing than east coast.

If someone has some information about Estacada I would appreciate it.
