Kajukenbo


Hawaiian modern fighting style founded in 1947 by five martial artists from varying backgrounds, initially known as the "Black Belt Society". The five founding members of Kajukenbo were Adriano D. Emperado, Joseph Holck, Peter Young Yil Choo, Frank F. Ordonez and Clarence Chang.

In the late 1940s, the Palama Settlement was a violent area. Because of this environment, five martial artists known as the "Black Belt Society", came together with the goal of developing an new martial art that would be simple but effective on the street.
