Love the culture here too! I loved the kata though.Ronnie here from Delta Kajukenbo. I did it for 10 years under Frank Wholer. Gave me patience perseverance in all my life's experiences. Thank You Frank .RIP.

Agree with John 100%! Took up KajuKenBo while in Kalifornia in the 80's. I worked with a Hawaiian who earned a black belt in Hawaii in the 1960s from a 'Professor' (don't recall the name - 'Emperado'?). I drummed up some interest from young guys at work and I talked him in to teaching us after work in the cafeteria. I left for the Marines but a few of the guys I started with stuck it out to black belt. Our instructor and his brother (who had black belts in several styles like goju-ryu) told us stories about their old school KajuKenBo training days - hardcore! I'm sure the katas we were learning weren't the 'pure' KajuKenBo they learned but the 'tricks' (choregraphed moves) and the way we applied them were. Good days!

"Professor Emperdo" could punch spikes into a board and pull them back out.

My instructor was Bob Anderson, who learned Kajukenbo from Al Reyes and Kempo from Walter Godin. He explained that grab arts, punch tricks, etc weren't sequences you would do in a real fight. They built muscle memory for how to move in various scenarios.

Bob was my instructor too! He's so good

[@kawailauaelani]

My dad was my instructor in Hawaii. He was a black belt under Emperado. Had his own thing going for a while at Makakilo elementary. Good times

If you are in South Carolina, take some time to visit Young's Kajukenbo in upstate South Carolina. The Professor there is phenomenal.

I remember looking like I spent the day trying to catch golf balls at the driving range after taking KJKB classes. "Tenderizing" they called it. Those cats will hit whatever is in range just to hit it. Couple shots to the bicep and suddenly that arm doesn't want to participate anymore .

But does John like doing kata?

[@harrygreb3457]

Most people don't like doing Kata in my experience, me personally I'd rather shadowbox

[@zyx7478]

@@harrygreb3457 having one or two kata is ok, but not too much

[@mitsuoo1012]

I dont like Kata also!

Kenpo and its offshoot are scam. Look at Sambo, dominate in ring and street. Kempo are joke 😂
