Our style is Kajukenbo, a hybrid martial art. Kajukenbo is an acronym for all the styles it incorporates: KA(rate); JU(do/jitsu); KEN(po); BO(xing). The name also works in another way: “ka” (“long life”), “ju” (“happiness”), “ken” (“fist”), “bo” (“style”), leading to the art’s philosophical meaning: “Through this fist style, one gains long life and happiness.” This style was developed by five martial art masters in their respectively arts. It was founded in Hawai’i in 1947 by the late Adriano Emperado. One of his students – the late Grand Master Charles H. Gaylord – developed his own Method of Kajukenbo on the mainland. Although the original Gaylord Method of Kajukenbo is still intact here at Shir Martial Arts, some of the technical moves and katas have been refined from with the influence of Japanese/Okinawan styles.
