Over the years I have read differant biographies on Sijo Emperado. Many of them were laced with inaccuracies that were either intentional, or unintentional. This is understandable when a story gets told many times, by many people, over a period of many years.
The bio of Sijo Emperado that I have posted on Wikipedia is all information told directly to me by Sijo Emperado and reaffrimed several times between 1991 and 2006.

Hey, that's pretty good.

Maybe you should consider writing for martial arts magazines.:)

My only caution is that it really should be in Wikipedia's biography format and not simply pasted from its original source. Simple copy/paste makes it look like spam (even though it isn't) and increases the chance of deletion or editing conflicts. I'd also add subsections for easy reference.

I'm not familiar at all with the Wikipedia formats. I just found a Kajukenbo article on there, and then saw that there was no information about Sijo Emperado there. So I took some excerpts from my upcoming Kajukenbo book and submitted it in the form of a article. Once I get the book to the printer in a couple months, I'll go back to Wikipedia and look into submitting the information in a biography format.
