Kajukenbo techniques should only be used for self-defense, as a last resort, and then only to the extent necessary. It is best to avoid a fight. If confronted, escape if possible. Techniques should only be used for a just cause, particularly to preserve life. Restraint is a great virtue in Kajukenbo “A fist in the pocket is the best place for it." Remember that there are many people more skilled than you. Never underestimate an opponent. Do not give away the fact that you are trained in Kajukenbo. Surprise gives you an advantage. Bragging about your "skills" is foolish and invites conflict. Most people are attacked without warning. Awareness, anticipation and avoidance are the best self-defense.
