Taylor Kajukenbo is the gold standard of martial arts. Professor Taylor has 30+ years of experience as a martial artist and teacher. They also offer many different classes including weight training, kajukenbo (martial arts), and MMA fight training. Highly recommend this dojo to anyone in the Treasure Valley who would like to learn how to defend themselves, better their lives, and train professionally.

My daughter trains here and we love it. Professor Taylor has a passion for Kajukenbo and it shows in the way he teaches. He coaches his students for real life situations as well as how to best compete and win in tournaments. It’s definitely not easy training but it’s worth it.

Crow's Kajukenbo is here along with Taylor Kajukenbo! And both are incredible schools! Kaju is a very fun and well disciplined mixed martial art that dates back to Centuries! Kaju will not only teach you self defense but will also help you stay in shape!

I've had nothing but amazing experiences with Sifu Gary and Taylor Kajukenbo. Many friends of mine have started attending and even bringing their kids to learn here because of the quality of teaching received here. Kajukenbo is definitely not for everyone. You have to be strong mentally, physically, and spiritually or you will not last. There is a reason we are few. If your goal is to be the best and learn the most effective techniques I highly recommend Sifu Gary and Taylor Kajukenbo.
