Kajukenbo Histor y

ierce, Brutal, effective-these are just a few of the words used to describe Kajukenbo, widely considered the first martial art created in the United States. Kajukenbo, a combination of five combat systems, gained its tough reputation decades ago in what was then the U.S. territory of Hawaii, where the style was synthesized. Kajukenbos no-nonsense approach to self-defense has earned the style recognition worldwide as an efficient fighting art. Five martial arts teachers formulated Kajukenbo in 1947. Calling themselves the Black Belt Society, they collaborated on a project to develop a comprehensive self-defense system. These five men were Peter Choo, the Hawaiian welterweight boxing champion and a black belt in Tang-Soo-do; Frank Ordonez, a Sekeino Jujitsu black belt; Joe Holck, a Kodokan Judo black belt; Clarence Chang, a master of Sil lum pai kung fu; and Adriano D. Emperado, an Escrima expert and black belt in Chinese Kenpo.

Peter Y. Y. Choo (Karate), Joe Holck (Judo), Frank Ordonez (Jujitsu), and in front Adriano D. Emperado (Kenpo). Photo and accompanying article courtesy of Sifu Burt Vickers a student of Sigung Richard Peralta.

They created a new and highly comprehensive art by sharing the strengths and weaknesses of each others systems, and after deciding that Kenpo would serve as the foundation from which to build, the five martial artists began an arduous threeyear process of incorporating Tang-Soo-Do kicks, Jujitsu joint locks, Judo throws, and Sil lum pai circular techniques into one fighting system. Lacking a name for this new style, Holck suggested the system be called Kajukenbo (Ka from Karate, ju from Judo and Jujitsu, ken from Kenpo, and bo for Chinese boxing or Kung Fu). Kajukenbo was then founded in 1949, and their first school began in 1950.

Sijo Adriano D. Emperado

ijo Adriano Emperado is the man credited with founding Kajukenbo. His S contribution was the Kenpo aspects which became the basis of the entire system. He as born in Honolulu in 1926. Sijo has trained in Escrima under his uncle Alfredo Peralta, Kara-Ho Kenpo under Professor K.S. Chow, Kosho Ryu Kenpo under Professor James Mitose, Judo under Sensei Tano. He has also been trained in Choy-li fut under Professor Wong of the Northern Shaolin System and was eventually awarded 10th Dan by the Chinese Physical and Cultural Association. Besides those he also has knowledge of Jujitsu, Okinawan Karate, Lua, American Boxing and Wrestling. Emperado was elected to the Black Belt Hall of Fame in 1991.

About Y in Yang

he yin yang symbol, depicted here, seems very popular today with its meaning of wholeness, balance and continuous change. However its meaning is often misunderstood. The two shapes that make up the circle represent the ancient Chinese concepts of yin and yang. Yin, the dark figure, has associations with the feminine, the receptive, cool, soft, yielding, inner-oriented, deep, dark, and more quiet; while yang has to do with the masculine, giving, warm, hard, outgoing, outer-oriented, closer to the sur face, light and more active. These are complementary forces that cannot exist alone. Besides needing each other to form a whole, they derive meaning from each other, just as day has meaning contrast to night, hardness in relation to softness, and brightness compared to dullness. The yin/yang symbol is a static symbol that represents a dynamic process. You can imagine it having crystallized from turning a circle containing a smaller white and black circle. The shape of the dark and light areas in the yin/yang symbol point to a flowing movement in

which yin and yang diminish, and increase in intensity . Starting at the top of the circle, we see a maximum amount of black, with at its center some white. This means that the most intense level of yin contains a kernel of yang.

nature we do the same. During a hot day, we drink cold liquids or want to go for a cool swim and on cold days, we eat warming foods. And so its true in our training, we yield to power, and meet weakness with strength. Another way in which our need for balance comes out is that women, who tend to have more yin than yang qualities, need to bring out their yang qualities, and vice verse for men. We feel optimally healthy then complementary qualities are in balance. Some other qualities we may want to balance are giving and receiving, being alone or with others, and resting or being active. In our culture we tend to classify things into categories of good or bad. Is this good? we may ask, sometimes forgetting that what may be good this moment may not fit tomorrow. In the East, one is more concerned with balance. The question is: Does this help balance? The yin/yang symbol reminds us of the flowing quality of life, and in an ever-changing environment one is better being fluid and balanced oneself. Healing arts like Tai Chi or acupressure can help bring about this equipoise and activities like yoga and meditation or time spent in nature can help quiet our minds and center us.

Following the circle in a clockwise direction we see how the black decreases and the white area starts to become larger. As the black shape comes to a minimum, the white reaches its peak. Here there is a black dot reminding us of the opposite quality which is always present. In nature yin and yang want to be balanced and since we are part of

What We Believe
that every man bears the unalterable responsibility for keeping W out of harms way. This he owes to himself, his family, his fellows, and his organization and style.
E BELIEVE

WE BELIEVE that no man lives or works entirely alone. He is involved with all men, touched by their accomplishments and marked by their failures. If he fails the man beside him, he fails himself, and will share the burden of that loss. The true horror of an accident is the realization that a man has failed himselfand morethat his fellows have failed him. WE BELIEVE that accidents are conceived in improper attitudes and born in moments of action without thought. They will cease to be only when proper attitude is strong enough to precede the actwhen the right attitude creates awareness that controls the act. WE BELIEVE that training and education as to safe attitudes and practices should be an important part of all schools. The prevention of accidents is an objective which crosses all levels of grades, organization and procedure. WE BELIEVE that freedom from harm is not a privilege but a goal to be achieved and perpetuated. WE BELIEVE that the elimination of injury and pain through accident is a moral obligation upon which the final measure of our performance directly depends. PLEASE RECONSIDER the above in formulating an idea, for which no idea is based on fallacy but based on a true understanding. Such an understanding is sought through only your basic knowledge; and through the above, which we have brought into being, there and then only will you have the essence of knowledge in its purest form.

Frequently Asked Questions


What Is Kajukenbo? Kajukenbo is an ecclectic style composed of five different systems. These systems include Tang-Soo-Do, Judo, Jujitsu, Sil lum pai kung fu and Kenpo as well as some American boxing. Who created the system? Five individuals were responsible for the creation of the system. Sijo Adriano D. Emperado is considered to be the founder of the system but the four other cofounders were Peter Choo, Frank Ordinez, Joe Holck and Clarence Chang. Where was the system founded? The system was founded on the island of Oahu, Hawaii in the Palama settlement in the late 1940s. It is the first complete Martial Art to be founded on American soil. What does Kajukenbo emphasize? Kajukenbo emphasizes self-defense for street survival. Due to the Kenpo influence the strikes are multiple, rapid and fluid. Target areas include the knees, groin, eyes and throat. The system believes in doing whatever is necessary to escape even if it means to bite, scratch or spit. What type of safety equipment do I need?

FAQ (cont.)
given in the Chinese form. Sifu instead of the Japanese Sensei. Kids classes are slightly different in that discipline is intended to be instilled in the kids so occasionally, when warranted, the drill instructor approach is used. Are weapons taught? In general, weapons are not taught because most of the weapons are impractical by todays standards. Sifu Anderson is familiar with a couple of Okinawan weapons, the bo (a six foot staff) and the Sai (a short three prong sword). If the student shows a strong interest in learning one of those weapons, arrangements can be made on an individual basis. Can parents stay and watch? Yes, parents are encouraged to stay and watch the class. In that way they can see what exactly is being taught and how it is being taught. What Is the underlying attitude of the system? The systems attitude is, its better to know and not have to than to have to and not know how. How Is promotion eligibility determined? Eligibility is determined by individual efforts, attains required knowledge, demonstrates proficiency of required techniques, maintains a notebook and demonstrates the proper attitude for the next belt rank. If deficient in one or more of those areas then the student will be passed over for promotion meaning they will not be tested. Will my rank from another school transfer to here? No. Generally your previous training will have little similarity to this system but that can be determined on a case by case basis. What is adult rank structure? The adult rank structure is as follows: white, white-purple, purple, blue, green brown, student black and then first degree black belt. What Is the childrens rank structure? The childrens rank structure is slightly different; it is as follows: white, white-orange, orange, yellow, white bisected with a purple stripe, purple, blue, green, brown, black bisected with a white stripe (junior black belt). Sifu will not promote any children (under the age of 16) to the rank of first degree black belt. 12
