Re: when and by whom

Unfortunately, some forms are too flashy and are for aesthetic purposes. This started in the 1960’s in my area. It is great to demonstrate your athletic ability but really I feel the intent is self defense with the only meaningful difference would be civilian self defense versus military self defense. I started to lean toward the non sport in the 1970’s and I was influenced by my Kajukenbo instructor Joe Clarke who got disillusioned with the tournament scene early 1973 and just practiced what was practical and to the point. Joe was from the Ramos Method so was different than the mainline “Original” Kajukenbo that was practiced in Hawaii especially the forms. I did like the way the forms were designed with some questionable generic movements that can have several applications.
