Welcome. There are several members on board with an interest in that art. I'm only reading about it for the first time. Perhaps you could share some details of your training.

Gordon Nore and anyone interested,
Kajukenbo, is a combination of Karate, Judo and Jujitsu,Kenpo and Chinese Boxing. It was established in 1947 by five masters of the above mentioned arts, (Peter Young Yil Choo, Frank Ordonez, Joe Holck, Adriano Emperado and Clarence Chang) in the Palamas Settlement in Hawaii (US Territory then) so that is why they say this is a genuine American Martial Art. (I first studied JI DO Kwon for several years). KaJuKenBo is a advanced street fighting art, with alot of Kenpo or Kempo depends if it is from the North or South of China. Our work outs are gruelling alot of time in the horse stance to build the core foundation, the legs. Combination of closed fist punches, joint manipulation and open hand techniques, with different kicks to keep them honest. Our Sigung, Sigung DelRosario (which we are fortunate to have a Sigung in the middle east) he is a DoD contractor from Hawaii, how lucky are we. We do alot of knuckle, softball and wrist push-ups, alot. Our kata is called Palama Set named after the settlement where it was created. Occasionally we train in the water to build our core, that is fun...NOT!!!! I Hope I given a little insight to the art known as KaJuKenBo. KA= Long Life JU= Happiness KEN= Fist BO= Style. Philosophical Meaning of KaJuKenBo= "Through this fist style one gains long life and happiness." NOTE: One of our founders Sijo Adriano D. Emperado past away on April 5, 2009. He is thought of as the founder of KaJuKenBo. Thank-You Dragoon
