KAJUKENBO MASTERS Vol-1
with Clarence Emperado Luna &
Chuck E. Turner
Clarence Emperado Luna
Kajukenbo is a hybrid martial art from Hawaii. The name
Kajukenbo is a portmanteau 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. It was
developed in the late 1940s and founded in 1947 in the
Palama Settlement of Oahu, Hawaii. The art was created
through the cooperative efforts of five martial artists,
each with a different specialty: Peter Choo, Frank
Ordonez, Joe Holck, George Chang and Adriano Emperado.
Kajukenbo training incorporates a blend of striking,
kicking, throwing, takedowns, joint locks and weapon
disarmament. Today, Kajukenbo is practiced all over the
world in many different branches. In contrast to many
traditional martial arts, students are not required to
mimic their teacher, but are encouraged to develop their
own "expression" of the art.
Chuck E. Turner
It is unique when a man develops a philosophy he can
live and work by - but it is a much greater
accomplishment when those around him choose to follow
that philosophy. Grandmaster Chuck Turner was just such
a men. He belonged to a group of martial artist who
broke rules, developed new ways, and found hidden
avenues for a higher level of knowledge when their
fellow practitioners were stuck in old concepts and
primitive training methods. As a leader, GM Turner’s
path was the solitary road of a personal quest. The road
to a find a better way of doing things was never was an
intent to gain independence from any teacher or system -
or the result of a maverick attitude - but the fruit of
an endless search for a more effective martial art.
