    Default Kenpo in Branson Missouri?

    Someone asked me today if I knew of any kenpo schools in Branson Missouri. All I've been able to find on the net is http://bransonmma.com/ where they seem to do some kajukenbo, although there are some mentions of Mitose, Chow, and "Chinese Kenpo" so I'm not totally clear on what they teach. Seems kinda like a mish mash of the instructor's own accumulated knowledge. Isn't it always. Anyway, I thought I'd ask to see if anyone knew any other schools or private instructors in the area. I know several down here in Springfield, but the person who's looking for a teacher would rather not have to make the commute several times a week. Thanks in advance if you have any info I can pass on.

    Mitose, Chow, and "Chinese Kenpo" all fit into the Kajukenbo history in various ways. One thing about Kajukenbo is that if somebody is claiming a high rank, it's easy to see if they're legit or not, the Kajukenbo guys all know who's who in their system.

    There are several Kaju systems out there. Don't forget there was more than one founder and a lot use the name Kajukenbo, but some use Kajukenpo, Kajukempo, Kajukembo and others use completely different names for their systems altogether.
