Did Bruce Lee study Kajukenbo?
While looking up questions for an interview for Lynn Alvarez I came up with some questions of my own. She has a black belt in Kajukenbo which is a combo of karate, judo, jujutsu, kenpo, kung fu and boxing but this was invented in 1947.
I would say although not near as old as pancration this should also be considered one of the founders of modern MMA.

those fast light short strikes are useless. Plus it almost impossible to do wrist manipulation, unless its on a small girl. The first video post by mmabrat was almost laughable.

These are the only real applicable arts. Kajukenbo is a joke... reminds me of a jacky chan choreographed fight scene...

I finally watched the videos. I like this style. My only worry is I didn't see much on the ground. What skills do they use once the fight goes to the ground.
Other than that, the stand-up and the transition to the ground seem to be covered.
