BE YOUR OWN BODYGUARD
KAJUKENBO TUM PAI is a self-defense-focused Mixed Martial Art based on a solid foundation of Karate, Jiu-jitsu, Kung Fu, Boxing and Filipino Martial Arts.
Tum Pai is an efficient and powerful Martial Arts System that emphasizes instinctive movements, explosive techniques and realistic training scenarios. It is purposely designed to enable a smaller individual to defend against a larger assailant, by not opposing force with force, but by intercepting the attack, or by blending and merging with the force.
