Black Robe highlights the other four co-founders of the Kajukenbo system (and explores a lost legacy of a sixth founder) who played an important role in starting and developing Kajukenbo, giving a bit more insight into these men's martial arts legacies and forever keeping their memories alive. The final chapter of this book shows illustrated self-defense techniques from Kempo & Kajukenbo practitioners from Hawaii as well as the U.S mainland.
Over 100 historical images and training diagrams included. A must read for any artist who wants to know the untold history of Kempo & Kajukenbo. Kajukenbo is a hybrid martial art from Hawaii. The name ‘Kajukenbo’ is a combination of the various arts from which its style is derived: KA for Karate, JU for Judo and Jujutsu, KEN for Kenpo and BO for Boxing. |
