    The Kajukenbo instructors in Kuwait are legit. The instruction is legit.

    I have seen the Youtube videos of the Kajukenbo people in Kuwait working out. They could be a little bit more aggressive towards each other. In other words, they could increase the level of violence to match the hardcore or extremely hardcore schools in North America and Europe. I also heard from a reliable source who visited a Kajukenbo school in Kuwait that the instructors could be pushing the students a bit more. But this is just one school that the source has visited, and I probably just seen the Youtube videos from just one school.

    So, I don't think you would get your butt handed to you in the first class. If you trained at our school, that's a different story. We like to keep it traditional, and most new students drop out within a week or two. So, my advice is to go check out the school, watch an entire class. If it is something that you would like to try, join up, if not, I'm sure there's other schools to your liking.

    Those Youtube videos and the stories I have been told about the schools in Kuwait are from a few years ago. Maybe the situation has changed, and they are more within the norms of the hardcore and extremely hardcore schools, or maybe not. You still have to check it out yourself.

    By the way, I am a small guy. I'm 5'7" and about 140 or 145 lbs. I was thinner when I was younger. I survived years of training in a hardcore Kajukenbo school. I don't know how I did it, when the bigger and more muscular guys would drop out. I didn't care what happened to me, I just kept on training.

    edit: If you visit the school, and see the students beating each other for real in front of your eyes, then they are now training in the true spirit of Kajukenbo. Ask me how to survive that. It is possible, I am proof that someone can survive that type of training, it's just most people do not take the challenge of that type of training.
