KAJU‑KAI | Adult Self-Defense Training | Albany, NY
KAJU‑KAI is not a curriculum. Not sport martial arts adapted for a gym setting. It is adult self-defense training built on 50 years of applied experience with law enforcement, military, and executive protection. The program runs in group sessions. Your first session is a private 30-minute intake with Alan.
Start with one private 30-minute session. No long-term commitment required.
$47Introductory offer. Limited spots. No ongoing commitment.
Most adult self-defense programs are sport systems dressed up for the street, group classes where everyone cooperates, or YouTube compilations of techniques that fall apart the moment pressure is applied.
KAJU‑KAI is none of that.
"Does this work when someone is not cooperating?"
That is the only question that built this program. If a technique cannot pass that test, it does not make the cut. The result is a system that strips self-defense down to what a capable adult actually needs: awareness, positioning, decisive action, and the ability to apply it when structure disappears.
Reading a situation before it escalates. Position, posture, and the pre-attack signals most people miss.
Strikes and responses that function when adrenaline hits and fine motor control degrades.
How to get up, not how to win. The ground is not where you want to be. We prepare you for if you end up there.
Sessions run with serious adults who are there for the same reason you are. A focused training environment where the work gets done.
Kajukenbo was developed in the streets of Honolulu in the 1940s by fighters who needed to survive actual violence, not score points in a controlled setting. That standard has not changed.
Alan Condon has trained in and across systems for over 50 years. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu before it had a name in America. Muay Thai when it was considered too violent for sport. Defensive tactics with law enforcement and military units who could not afford a technique to fail.
"If it only works when someone cooperates, it does not belong in the system."
That is the filter everything passes through. The result is a program with no wasted motion, no cooperative-partner techniques, and nothing designed for aesthetics over function.
Your goals, concerns, and physical considerations. We start where you are, not where a standard curriculum says you should be.
Reading a situation before it escalates. What to look for, how to move, and how to position yourself before anything physical occurs.
Not what looks good in a mirror. What works when adrenaline hits and fine motor skills go out the window.
How to get up, not how to win. If you end up on the ground, you need a way back to your feet, not a submission game.
The most underrated skill in self-defense, and the one most programs skip entirely. Recognizing the setup before the swing.
Stay on your feet, or know exactly what to do if you do not. Practical, high-percentage responses to the most common threats.
The KAJU READY session is a private, one-on-one intake with Alan. It is how you start. After that, training continues in KAJU‑KAI group sessions with other serious adults who are there for the same reason you are.
Private training with Alan normally runs $200 an hour. At that rate, a 30-minute session is $100. Your first KAJU READY session is:
Half the standard 30-minute rate.
Yes, I Want My $47 SessionNo long-term commitment. No pressure to continue. Show up, train, and leave with real skills. If you want to continue after your first session, we will talk about it then.
Fifty years of training teaches you one thing clearly: most people are preparing for a confrontation that will never happen, and completely unprepared for the one that does.
I have trained across systems, pressure-tested what works, and cut what does not. I was doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu before it had a name in America. I was doing Muay Thai when it was considered too violent for sport. Over the decades I have worked with parents, executives, law enforcement, and military units who could not afford to find out the hard way that their training did not transfer.
"We do not collect techniques. We build reliable skill under pressure."
That is what KAJU-KAI was built for. If you have been looking for that kind of training, you are in the right place.
KAJU‑KAI runs in group sessions with adults who take this seriously. Introductory spots at $47 are limited, and the rate returns to $100 when they are gone.
