Holden
began training in Kakuto (
Combat ) Ju-Jitsu with Lee Hasdell in 2007.
Combat Ju-Jitsu ( CJJ )
combines Kickboxing with Ju-Jitsu. The parralels
with KUDO are cleary apparent as KUDO
mixes Kickboxing with Judo.
Both CJJ and KUDO
are ideal for both Self-Defence ( Combatives ) or
Combat-Sport ( M.M.A. ).
The differences between the two is that CJJ
is mainly focused towards Self-Defence, while KUDO
is a Combat-Sport in it's own right, with World
Championship's in Japan.
In 2008 Hasdell organised a KUDO
seminar in London for Master Azuma and Holden passed
his Shodan test, directly testing under the JukuCho.
Currently Holden is a CJJ
4th Dan with the Combat Budo Organisation
( also known as COMBUDO ).
