Pinan 15, Kajukenbo Charles Gaylord Method

[@steph2tdf]

I didn't even know there was a pinon 15!

From what I’ve gathered (and I haven’t confirmed yet), the original Pinans went up to 12. After the second generation (Dacascos, Ramos, Gaylord, etc) came to California, Emperado method in Hawaii added 13 and 14. (One of those is the Clock Dance, I believe?) At some point over in California, Gaylord created his own 13, and then made his own 14 and 15.

what difference in forms between kaju kempo KSDI and kaju kempo KSDI

[@kajukenbookayama4803]

@tiger-ws8bd My understanding (and someone correct me if I’m wrong): In 1947-49 there were no forms. Over time, the original Kajukenbo schools developed 12 Pinans. They were much later renamed “Palama Sets”. Method to method and dojo to dojo might have small differences, but basically the forms are the same. Some of the next generation (Gaylord, Ramos, Halbuna) came to the States. Then Emperado in Hawaii had two more forms added (Palama Sets 13 and 14). At least some of the schools on the mainland didn’t get those new forms. I think Ramos stopped at 12. Gaylord created his own Pinan 13 and 14, and created his own 15.
